Lacey & Matt | Mansfield, Ga. Engagement Session

Lacey & Matt’s Engagement/Just Married Session!

Yes, you read that correctly! Lacey and Matt have known each other since the beginning of their lives! Their families have been friends for generations. They grew up in a small farming town and that’s just how it is there - the roots are deep and friends become more like family!
Although Matt and Lacey’s story starts off very bitter sweet but was perfectly planned out by God! Lacey and Matt’s moms are best friends and both ended up expecting babies at that same time. Matt was born on February 13th, 1980. A couple of months later, Lacey’s mom and dad suffered a loss that too many are forced to face with the death of their baby, Judson on his due date.

Elizabeth & Dalton’s Indian Springs State Park Wedding

It was a perfect fall day! The leaves had just started turning their beautiful fiery colors and the sun was shining for us! Elizabeth and Dalton were nervous but so excited to see each other for their first look! You could just see all the anxiety leave them both once they hugged one another for the first time on their big day.

Erin and Josh | The Westside Warehouse Wedding

Erin woke up on her wedding day knowing it was going to be one of the most magical day’s of her life! She felt the calm, the excitement, the nerves, all rushing through and it was going to be an amazing day! As I was driving to the Loew’s Hotel in Atlanta, where I knew they wanted to share their first look on the tree lined streets, I started thinking about a plan B because it was raining cats and dogs.

Megan & Ben | Buckeyes Plantation Covington, Ga Wedding Venue

How pretty is Buckeyes Plantation!? About four weeks ago on a Tuesday, my sweet friend Katie Perkins (owner of Blondies) called me and asked me if I was available THAT Thursday to photograph a styled shoot for Southern Distinction Magazine!!! Wellllllll, I made myself available!!! lol This venue is so, so pretty and I'm very excited for the owners, Mr. and Mrs. McGarity! This venue is going to be the host of so many fabulous couples becoming husband and wife! 

Buckeyes Plantation is very well known for its bird hunting but couldn't you see yourself getting married on these grounds?! The owners of this gorgeous home have set up a beautiful Bridal Suite that opens up to the sound of the fountain flowing outside and over looks the gorgeous property! The grooms are not left out either! They have their own cabin with a grand view too!
