When a pandemic hits right before the day you’ve been planning for and dreaming of most of your life, what do you do?! Hayden and Daniel decided to go ahead and get married on their original wedding date as planned, in a small intimate ceremony with just their families there to witness saying their vows. It was romantic, simple and sweet. Daniel showed up in his uncle’s baby blue classic car to pick up Hayden and drive her to the church. Sacred Heart looks right out at the Mobile Bay and feels straight out of a small town Alabama movie scene. If anything, the virus has been a reminder that when you take away the big crowds, cocktail hours, city gatherings, restaurants, and activities — love still remains. Love cannot be cancelled and SHOULD always be celebrated! We’re excited for their (bigger) celebration later this year. I have a special place in my heart for all 2020 couples! Hang in there and love on eachother harder. We are here to celebrate you (safely), no matter what life throws at you!
Kat + Chris | New Orleans Wedding
These two were such a delight to work with! Kat and Chris contacted me all the way from Brooklyn, New York asking me to be their wedding photographer for their New Orleans destination wedding and I was thrilled. We love working with both in town and out of town brides, and we are always excited to meet a couple who loves the heart and soul of New Orleans as much as we do! Kat and Chris started out their wedding day at the beautiful Melrose Mansion to get ready, complete with a clean room for their first look and a serene pool which made a perfect spot for bridal party and family photos! They hopped on over to Maison Montegut for a quintessential French Quarter ceremony. There in the greenery filled courtyard, they read aloud their own personal vows to each other. It was a perfect, romance-filled moment in this classic hidden gem on Royal Street. Finally, these two danced the night away starting with a second line leading them along with their closest family and friends on the walk to their reception at the stunning Old Ursuline Convent. They even had their own choreographed first dance to 'I Found You' by the Alabama Shakes. Congratulations again to these happy newlyweds! What a day!
Tina + Damian || Intimate Wedding in the Park
Tina and Damian have been longtime friends of ours, so when she asked me to come to Atlanta to photograph their wedding I was of course, ecstatic! She told me that they would be getting married on the two year anniversary of their engagement and it would be a very intimate ceremony in a park near their home. The whole thing was very fitting for the two of them. I showed up to the house and Tina was as calm as ever, helping Gabriella put on her darling little shoes. When we arrived at the park, Damian was all smiles, as per usual. His energy is always vivacious, but on that day it was on another level. He would soon be marrying a most elegant and bright lady. After a few tears and cheers, these two became one on a golden summer's day in the park.
Congratulations again to these two beautiful souls!
