Mr. & Mrs. Blackwood | Foxhall Resort Atlanta Georgia Wedding Photographer

I could not have picked a more special wedding than Hannah and Beau’s to call my first as an official Atlanta area photographer. When Aaron and I started dating, he was doing an internship in Woodstock, Georgia, and he was living with the Martin family. For over a year, they were his second family, and he was their basement son. Tracy, Hannah’s amazing mom, even bought Aaron a new outfit for our first date! The summer that we did dreadful long-distance dating, I was able to spend a lot of time with the Martins… They got see our relationship go from the very beginning, to see us get married, and now we all live in the Atlanta area. What a dream!

Hannah is the cutest southern belle…. spunky, hilarious, and has the best smile, paired with exquisite taste. During the ceremony, their officiant described Beau as a “refined redneck”, which could not be more true. He is ALL man and loves everything hunting (see groom’s cake below), fishing, and college football. How do you pair exquisite taste with a little bit of refined redneck? Easy: Legacy Lookout at Foxhall Resort. Not only were they blessed with the most incredible weather, but every detail of their day was executed flawlessly. It was an amazing day of family and friends celebrating their marriage being established on the firm foundation of the Lord.

Fun fact: This was actually a two piece gown, and I was OBSESSED.

Best smile right there. :)

When Hannah was born, her grandparents bought her a necklace that they added an inch of pearls to every year. They gave it to her to wear on her wedding day, and I might not have been able to hold it together. Cue all the tears!

This might have been my favorite moment all day.

One thing that everyone knows about Hannah is that she LOVES her Daddy, and Jon Martin could not love his little girl more.

How beautiful and classic do these ladies look?!

One of my favorite things in the world is when a groom has his Dad as his best man. Cue all the tears.

Yeah, this was a photographer’s dream.

Most precious parents of the bride you’ll ever see.

When your new wife gets lipstick all over you… Haha.

I don’t often post family formals, but I do when they look like this! All the heart eyes!!!

Hannah: “I can’t do a serious face.”
Me: “Uhhhh…. Bull.”

So gorgeous!!!

One of my favorites from their day!

Also a favorite! Hannah, you are so beautiful! And look at how Beau looks at her!

Her reception vision came to life beautifully.

How obsessed was I with these chairs? Very, very obsessed.

This was, hands down, the most beautiful AND best tasting cake I’ve ever had at a wedding. And I’ve had a lot, so that should say something.

Major groom’s cake win!

They had such a fun party!

I love it when parents get out on the dance floor. :)

BEST EVER.

Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Blackwood!

Everly is One! | Atlanta Georgia Family Photographer

A little over a year ago, I was taking maternity pictures for Becca and Jeff as they anticipated Everly’s arrival. This week, we returned to the same spot to capture pictures celebrating her first birthday.

I am obsessed with every single image from their shoot, and if it wasn’t super creepy, I would plaster them all over my own house. But it IS creepy, so I won’t. Just know I want to. Happy first birthday, sweet Everly! I can’t wait to see what year two has in store for your curious, spunky, little life. :)

Perfect family.

Sometimes, Mom and Dad’s love can just be a little much. ;)

CANNOT HANDLE IT.

Becca just “threw together” this flower crown for Everly on the way to their session. From flowers from their yard. Yeah, she’s that type of wife/mom that makes you feel a little less than domestic. Haha.

Yes, those blue eyes are real.

If you can’t tell, this girl really loves her Mom and Dad.

I was melting at this point.

Two things: lashes and baby rolls.
These are a few of my favorite things.

Then it was time to party!
Everly wore her great-grandmother’s pearls to celebrate. How sweet is that?!

This cake was another win for domestic goddess Becca.

Get it, girl!

She will never even be able to fathom how loved she is.

Again, just perfect.

Happy Friday, friends! :)

Mr. & Mrs. Alvarez | Jacksonville Wedding Photographer

Y’all. Just wait until you see Lauren and Anthony’s wedding. I was really hoping to narrow it down to around 50 pictures to show you, and I managed to get it down to 122. Yeahhhh… I might have a problem with being slightly indecisive.

Lauren and Anthony are friends from my hometown of Jacksonville, Florida, and when they got engaged, I told Aaron that I would die if they asked me to shoot their wedding. Well, I am still alive, but after reading this blog post, you’ll definitely be able to see why it ended up being a really close call. ;)

The great thing about The Ribault Club is that it’s actually impossible to not have a gorgeous wedding. Between the history of the club, the ceremony site that features the most BREATH-TAKING oak tree, and amazing service, it is one of my favorite venues to shoot. The details that Lauren and Anthony incorporated throughout their day managed to make it even more beautiful, but my favorite part of the day was seeing their excitement and anticipation build up to the moment that Lauren walked down the aisle. It’s no secret that I love first looks, but my favorite moment of every wedding is when the groom sees his bride for the first time – first look or not.

Lauren and Anthony, thank you for letting me be a part of your day. And an extra thank you for having the best wedding favors of all time. All the heart eyes for baby succulents. May they rest in peace. Enjoy my favorites from their day, and congrats if you make it to the end of this post. ;)

Lauren is such a simple, natural beauty, and her Willowby by Watters dress was a perfect compliment to that for her wedding day. I actually gasped when I saw it for the first time. Also, I wanted steal it, go back in time, and wear it for my wedding.

A crown of greenery? Yes, please.

That illusion neckline….

Oh, man. I love this image.

These are all of Lauren’s nieces… How special is that?!

I don’t normally share family portraits, but this is my argument for having them taken outdoors, even if your ceremony is indoors.

The word I kept thinking when I was shooting Lauren’s bridal portraits was “ethereal”. She was simply stunning.

Meanwhile, the guys got ready for the day…

One of my favorite details of Anthony and Lauren’s wedding was the guys’ dark olive suits. I love that they strayed away from the normal and how well they complimented the girls’ blush gowns.

It’s extra fun when I personally know half of the bridal party, especially when that includes the cutest ring bearers of all time. Oh my word, y’all. Heartbreakers right here.

How amazing are these boutonnieres? They tied in beautifully with Lauren’s crown.

I love me some asymmetry!

Well, they almost got it right. :)

Favorite. <3

Or this one. Yeah, this one. Okay, maybe two favorites.

Such beautiful details!

Every detail was so thought-out and romantic.

And a donut bar? I’m totally assuming here, but I think it’s safe to say that this was every guests’ favorite part of the reception.

Not only was their cake stunning, but it was handmade by one of their guests. How amazing is that?!

Love.

When your brother is in attendance at the wedding you’re shooting, you are required to post dancing pictures of him.

Anthony knows how to throw down a killer dougie.

Oh, hey other brother!

Lauren surprised her dad with a private father-daughter dance while everyone else prepared for their sparkler exit. So sweet!

Happy Thursday!
