Judy and Keigo were wed at the President’s Garden on the University of Georgia’s campus last Fall.  Judy wore a vintage dress with pearls.  We arranged for their first look to be at the Founder’s Garden in the early morning light.  Friends, family, and professors were all in attendance.  They had both just completed their Ph.d’s in Chemistry!  I can’t say that this fact wasn’t a little intimidating for me.  I could tell Keigo just adored Judy, she returned his affections with mutual admiration.  They were both so gracious and hospitable!

A special thanks to Logan Potterf for second shooting!

I took a few photographs of Ryan and Casey’s album before shipping it off.  It is made with a black linen cover and silver embossed with their names on the inside cover.  They chose the photographs and then we developed the layout.  These albums are of such a fine quality that they’re simply stunning in person.

“Photography is a way of… loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten.”

The ceremony was held at the bride’s parent’s home in Madison.  The programs were also the fans to keep cool, tied with pink ribbons.  After the ceremony, close family and friends walked down to the reception area to view a surprise for Ryan.  Casey had hand crafted her a dining room table.  Signed, “from you loving husband, Casey.”  Super cute!

The reception site had a rustic feel and was covered in fresh flowers.  I adored the mini pies for dessert.  There is a short video a few posts down of their send off!  They used birdseed and left in a pink vintage car.  Oh!  And Ryan and Casey made the favors-jars of honey for their guests.  I forgot to grab one, but I am sure they taste amazing.

Ryan has such great taste and was so thoughtful with each detail.  And Casey is definitely one of the boys, but has such a kind heart for his bride.  They are a charming and amiable couple that are a delight to keep as company.  It was an honor to photograph their union!

Nic and Laura were wed at the Seney-Stoval Chapel on a summer day in early June.  The Groomsmen wore Converse shoes and sunglasses, while the Bridesmaids were dressed in an array of vibrant colors.  Their bouquets were highlighted with sprigs of rosemary.  For vendors, they chose local artisans of Athens-I heart this idea!  Their reception had more than 12 of Cecelia’s cakes.  Which, If you have ever tasted her work, you know what a treat this was for their guests.  I almost never taste the cake, but I caved this time for the sweet decadence.  They had glow sticks for the send off!  And there is a special photo that was taken at the ceremony of all the guests.

After getting to know both Nic and Laura over the past year, they share a genuine and sweet love.  I hope this is quite evident in the photographs.  Blessings and congrats to you both!
