This wedding was held at the beautiful Mohican Gardens. It was another hot one but Margie and Ken were incredibly laid back and just all around great people! The reception was held at the Mohican Lodge. I hope you both enjoy your preview!

Kelly and Matt met years ago while working at Camp Mary Orton in Columbus. And even though they now live in Arizona, they came back to celebrate their marriage at the place where they first fell in love. Hope you enjoy your preview Kelly and Matt!

This is seriously one of my favorite portions of any wedding day. While not every couple sees each other before their ceremony, we highly recommend it for many reasons. The main reason is in order to let the day run smoothly with very few interruptions and to allow the couple to get to their reception and get their PARTY on ASAP! But the other reason is because these pictures are absolutely priceless.

I know many brides and grooms dream of seeing each other for the first time coming down the aisle and that makes sense, but let me give you a preview of how we set it up for the bride and groom to see each other before the ceremony.

We pick a location that is beautiful and make sure that no one other than the bride and groom (and us) are there. You can see the rest in the pictures below.

I know most people don’t love history lessons, but let me give “y’all” (shout out to our southern friends) a glimpse into the tradition of not seeing the bride before the ceremony. Back in the middle ages there were many arranged marriages amongst nobles and royalty. Most of these marriages were arranged for political, social, or economical gain. Many marriages took place without the bride and groom having ever met because the parents of both parties were afraid that if they actually meet or saw one another before the wedding, they would not be able to make them go through with the marriage.

Before I say anything else, let me say that Jennifer and I didn’t see each other before our wedding ceremony on the day of our wedding. It was more due to the fact that I wanted to wait to see her and I don’t regret that. But if I had it to do over again, I might think about arranging a first meeting before the ceremony. It’s private, intimate, emotional, and makes for AMAZING pictures! What’s not to love?!

This may not change your mind and that’s okay…but at least you can get an idea of what a first meeting looks like.

Oh btw…Julianne and Stu, I hope you enjoyed this little preview. We’ll have another blog up for you soon!

Have a great new day “y’all!”

Vamshi and Mark live in NYC and had their ceremony in Southern Georgia. Jennifer and I were so excited that they wanted us to travel back down south to be a part of their day. They actually had two separate ceremonies one of which was in Prague and the other in Georgia. We started out getting some shots in a beautiful area where the trees were covered in Spanish moss. After that we moved onto the ceremony and reception where we had a great time. Vamshi and Mark thanks again for letting us be a part of your day!

Reed and Justin had a beautiful ceremony and reception at the Hilton in Marietta, Georgia. The weather was hot, love was filling the air, and the day went off without a hitch. Reed was a bridesmaid in one of our previous weddings and we were so excited to be a part of her day.

I have to say watching Reed’s father’s joy on her wedding day was truly the biggest highlight of our entire wedding season. Reed and Justin thanks so much for allowing us to share this day with you!

Mary-Kate & John were married in Forsyth Park in Savannah, Georgia. I’m not going to lie…it was a hot one! The temp was in the high 90′s but I can’t think of a better group of people to be in the heat with. After the ceremony, the party (and yes I mean PARTAYYY) moved to the Savannah Station where it was a requirement to let loose and have fun! Stay tuned for pictures from our crazy booth from their reception. Mary-Kate and John, I hope you both enjoy your preview!
