BRIDAL SESSION // SOUTHERN RANCH BRIDE / JESSICA

Needless to say, I was so excited when Jessica contacted me to do a session with her. She sent me a picture of the dress, and I became even more excited. Upon exploring Weslyan College's beautiful campus, we came across their horse ranch, and {as you could guess} I became even more excited.

Jessica has an incredibly sweet spirit, and was so very easy to capture! It's not often I get to do this, but we were able to spend some time talking about our [lives, passion for photography, love for the Lord, etc.] at dinner after the session, and I can tell you that she is awesome through-and-through. I am thrilled about this new friendship and can't wait to have many more sessions and heart-to-hearts! :)

The weather during the session was a sweet balance of cloudy and sunny--alleviating us just a bit from the extreme Georgia heat, but leaving just enough sun for some fabulous back-lit shots.

Here are my favorites from the session! Enjoy, friends!

SHABBY-CHIC ATLANTA WEDDING // ABBIE & MATT

As a photographer, you come across some weddings that you feel were just made for you to capture. Your inspired heart collides with all of the hard work of the bride and groom (and family and planners and event stylists), and you just know that the turn-out is going to be fabulous.

My experience with Abbie and Matt was nothing short of this. In fact, I remember stealing away before the reception for a moment to text my husband "this is going to be amazing!" {I'm such a cheese-ball, I know.} Considering all of the hard work they had invested into making their wedding day so uniquely theirs, they were one of the most at-ease clients I have ever worked with. I was able to head to Atlanta the day before and capture the heart-felt toasts from family and friends, enabling me to hear some of Abbie and Matt's story. They are truly and exceptional couple with, I can say with confidence, many many bliss-filled years ahead of them.

Abbie and Matt, I am honored to have been chosen to capture your wedding day! I wish you the very best for your future. {And I can't wait for our After Session in the fall!}
