2020 has been so thrilling! Seriously! There’s never been a dull moment! Not even on Brian and Reed’s wedding day at the gorgeous venue, Burge Plantation in Mansfield, Ga.

Brian and Reed are the sweetest, kindest couple! They had to move their wedding date and location to another state due to Covid19. But, during their wedding day they seemed completely unfazed by those details. Even the blaring sirens of the tornado warning that were in the air during their ceremony didn’t seem to faze them!! YES! You read that correctly - tornado sirens!

Thankfully we were all safe and it didn’t even rain like it was predicted in the forecast! Not a single gust of wind blew through. God was watching over us all and blessed us with the most beautiful day for Reed, Brian and their friends and family! It was a day of pure bliss and celebration for these two!

Thank you for having me as your wedding photographer at your Georgia wedding! You and your families were a true pleasure to work with and documenting you was a dream! You are such a classic couple and I hope you enjoy reliving your day through these images!! Congratulations Reed and Brian!! I wish you many years of happiness and love!!!

There are so many wonderful things about this day, about this couple, about their love story. I want to share a little back story before I tell you more about them. . . I ended up getting really sick the day before THEIR big day. I cried and was so upset that this happened right before their wedding day. I thought I had the flu. They are the sweetest people and have amazing family’s. I was terrified I would be too sick the day of their wedding and would completely let them down due to my lack of energy. So, what did I do? I prayed! And I also, asked for others to pray for me.

I woke up that next morning and, while I didn’t feel 100%, I did feel somewhat better. As we arrived at the James Madison Inn to begin photographing Lacey, it’s like a wave of comfort and energy came over me. All my senses started perking up, it was GO TIME! I walked in to Lacey’s suite to see her there, looking completely flawless in her satin white robe, hair pinned back and stunning makeup! She greeted me with her big Lacey smile and a warm hug! I was so thrilled to see her and serve them on this very special day!

Lacey and Matt have a very beautiful love story that dates back before they were even born. Lacey and Matt’s mothers are best friends. They raised their babies together, they laughed together, they suffered loss together and they prayed together. Through the thick and thin of life they have overcome so much and raised the sweetest people!

These two have such a special bond that most people don’t get to have with their spouses. . .they grew up together and now they get to grow old together. Isn’t it amazing how God’s plan is always bigger and better than anything we could ever dream up?

I am so happy for this couple! Please give them a huge congratulations!
