the wedding of n&m

So this weekend I was in Atlanta, Georgia, shooting the wedding of this lovely couple. It. Was. Gorgeous. The bride has an incredible eye for detail, and everything about wedding was perfectly handled. Only 28 people were present, so only the couple's closest friends and family were there. There was only one attendant on each side--siblings--and the focus was on spending time with those nearest and dearest. Instead of dancing and cake at the reception, there was an amazing six-course meal.
The wedding was the Atlanta Botanical Gardens and the reception was at a former industrial space called King Plow. The light was amazing, the setting was gorgeous, it was 75 degrees. You couldn't have ordered a more perfect day. Anyway, enough of my blathering. On to the pictures.

You know how sometimes you're just so excited about something that you can't wait to share? Well, that would be me with the wedding that we shot on Saturday. Things were structured a little differently than usual; we had the incredible privilege of watching Robert Evans and Candice Cunningham shoot the wedding, and got to learn from watching their expertise. J and I were also shooting, but in more of a second shooter capacity, and so our coverage was even more photojournalistic than usual. And here's the thing: I LOVE IT. This couple is absolutely gorgeous, every detail of their wedding is well-thought-out, and you could not have asked for better light. So here, without further ado, are maybe 200 of my favorite images from the day. It's a lot, I know. But to me it feels like I'm watching the whole day unfold again, and I love it.

Thanks, you two, for letting us be part of your day! And thanks, Robert & Candi, for letting us tag alongside. You two are rockstars!
The full gallery of images will be up here by September 1st, so check back!

a big, fun, family wedding

C&B had a very simple backyard ceremony, complete with traditional Argentinean barbecue for the reception. The kids were in the pool, the margaritas were flowing, and C's dad was able to get out of the hospital in time for the wedding. It was beautiful and precious.


Rather than pay a fortune to a florist, B bought her favorite flowers in bulk and made all her own arrangements. This is her bouquet.


Her dress was simple, and she looked lovely.


They were married by his cousin.

C is very much into hunting, so for the getaway car they decorated his little hunting buggy thing.
