Kelly & Greg

Kelly and Greg are such a perfect match for each other. They shared so much in common, not to mention all the smile they had together. They both have a passion for UGA and had UGA touched all around their wedding from the garter to the grooms cake.

They got married at one of my favorite churches in Atlanta, Christ the King. The church is very beautiful and surprisingly easy to photograph. It has a very classical Catholic feel, but modern lighting that is just perfect for photography.

The wedding really picked up as the night went on and by the end of it, it seemed that everyone was on the dance floor. One of my favorite moments was their exit; it seemed like all their guest were still there. Kelly and Greg ran through hundreds of rose peddles to a beautiful Bentley and they were off.

I just loved all the little touches at Cyndi and Matt's wedding. Cyndi is truly one of the most creative and crafty people I know. She did the flowers herself and they were the prettiest I have ever seen. She ordered blue roses from Europe. When she told me blue roses I expected that they would have a small blue tent. I was very happy to be wrong, they were royal blue and just stunning. Cyndi also made the cake toppers, banners for the reception, little key lime dessert, as well as the necklaces for the bridesmaids and MOB. It was almost like everywhere you looked there was a Cyndi touch. It was amazing. She also designed a symbol for the wedding that incorporated the blue roses. If she ever decides to leave architecture, she could become the first wedding graphic designer.

Cyndi and Matt also had the most original exit I have seen. There were no bubbles, confetti, or sparklers, but instead the guest throw paper airplanes. The perfect exit for a couple about to fly to Denmark to start a new life together.

Lola and Chris had my favorite type of wedding. They got married at Lookout Mountain, outside, with only a few guests, and their first dance had an amazing view. The weather was perfect, not too hot with a bit of a breeze. Lola looked just radiant with flowers in her hair and an incredible dress. Chris had the biggest smile I have ever seen on a groom.

We had so much fun at Shannon and Jesse's wedding! Shannon has a smile that can fill a room and Jesse had a laugh that can not just fill a room, but fill the building. With the help of Matrimony INC (one of my favorite planning companies in the industry) they had one perfect wedding.

My assistant Thu I think put it best when she said "this wedding felt to me like it was right out of a movie". I definitely agree, it had that perfect movie feel about it, especially during the last two songs. For the first of the two all the guest came together and formed a circle around the couple. They sang and toasted as Jesse and Shannon twirled around inside and couldn't keep their eyes off each other as Shannon smiled and Jesse laughed. For the last song everyone came together and had their hands up in the air. It was hard to get through the crowd to get a picture of Jesse and Shannon who were in the middle of it all in a strong embrace kissing each other like they were the only ones in the room. Then almost like the movie ended, they were off in a Bentley. For Shannon and Jesse I am sure this was only the beginning of all the smiles and laughs they are going to have together.

Sloan and Nick had a fairytale wedding. The ceremony was outside in the middle of lots of greenery, without one empty seat. Sloan and Nick have been together for over a decade and everyone was very happy to be there to see them finally get married.

Sloan looked just like Cinderella with her hair done up and her beautiful dress. One of my favorite things about the wedding was all the kids. They truly just love Sloan and she is great with them. The five flower girls and one ring bearer looked up to her like she was a princess.

The grooms cake was pretty amazing, it resembled a plane (Nick is a pilot).

Like all good fairytales the night ended at midnight. It was a breathtaking wedding from start to finish between a truly amazing couple.
