It’s not everyday you get to watch one of your really great friends get married, and it’s also not everyday that you get to be their wedding photographer.  I have known Narin for many many years and still remember the first time she started talking to Trevor about 10 yrs ago! I know! They have been together for what seems like forever, hehe. I was so glad to finally see them tie the knot. They are such a perfect couple and I couldn’t be happier for them!

Trevor is from Alaska and Narin is from Cambodia.  They really wanted to blend both of their cultures into their Wedding and I think they did an amazing job.  Narin & Trevor had their Wedding Ceremony at the beautiful Emory Hotel & Conference Center.  It was just the most perfect day! Blue skies, birds chirping and just the perfect amount of a fall breeze.   They had a traditional American ceremony in a garden surrounded by their closest family & friends.  The ceremony was short and sweet, everyone blew bubbles into the wind and it was so magical!  But it wasn’t over yet.  After taking a break for a few hours to refuel and recharge, we were all off to party.

The reception was held at the Royal China Restaurant.  Narin really wanted to incorporate both of their cultures, and had a traditional Cambodian reception with lots of American traditions mixed in as well. Everything was so amazing!  Narin, Trevor, and their entire Bridal Party ditched their gowns and tuxes for traditional Khmer outfits, but not for too long.  After greeting & welcoming all of the guests, they changed back into their American attire to be introduced, cut the cake and do some dancing.  The Bridal party stayed in their gowns and tuxes the rest of the night, but Narin changed several more times, with each outfit being even more beautiful than the one before.  The entire night was just full of surprises, laughs, happy tears and lots of dancing!

I had such a blast at this wedding and I feel so honored that Trevor & Narin let me capture this special day in their lives.  Wishing this happily married couple only the best in life! Enjoy the photos below.  I know there are A LOT of pics, but I was with them for about 16 hrs and had a lot to choose from! hehe. All of  the make-up for the Ceremony & Reception for the Bride & all of the bridesmaids was done by the super talented Mimi Oh Professional MUA.

Wow, Angelia & Robert are just such a sweet couple.  They got married 15 years ago, but never had to have an actual wedding.  It was always their dream to have a wedding where all of their closest family & friends could attend, and they finally made that dream happen on their 15 year Wedding Annivesary.  Their Vow Renewal was just so sweet and amazing.  I probably cried more than Angie did.

It was truly an honor to be there and witness such amazing LOVE!  They should definitely be an inspiration to us all.  Enjoy looking at the photos of their special dream come true day.  Angie also hired us for Videography services, so feel free to check out their beautiful Wedding Montage here: Angelia & Robert’s Wedding Video Montage.

I had the honor of photographing a true Twihard’s Wedding a few months ago! I’m a big Twilight fan, but definitely nowhere as close as Katie is.  They tied the knot at the Flint Hill Mansion in Norcross, GA on August 13th, 2011.  It’s no coincidence that it’s the same date that Edward & Bella will get married on in the Twilight Saga-Breaking Dawn movie.  Katie tried as much as possible to incorporate Twilight into her wedding.  She walked down the aisle to “Claire de Lune” and both her & Michael recited the vows written in the pages of Breaking Dawn.  One of her bridesmaids designed an amazing hair clip for her, by only using the image from the Breaking Dawn movie trailer.  She had “team bride” and “team groom” buttons for all of the guests to wear.  Before Katie left the Reception, she changed out of her wedding gown into a custom made ivory sheath dress designed to look just like Bella’s honeymoon dress from Breaking Dawn (which was a one of a kind vintage sheath dress).  She even topped it off with Bella’s black bow belt and Michael Kors peep toed pumps.  It was a day made in this TwiHard’s dreams!

There were lots of other great DIY details in the wedding.   The centerpieces, buffet pieces, bride’s bouquet, flowers,  ceremony details, pillows for the porch swing and many more were all done by Katie and her mom.

Katie and Michael are just the sweetest couple.  Their wedding took place in a beautiful garden ceremony, followed by a reception indoors.  Katie was on the dance floor about 98% of the time and had such an amazing night! Lots of great food, yummy cake and great music.  It was definitely a wedding to remember.  Congratulations again to Bella & Edward, I mean, Katie & Michael!

I had the pleasure of photographing Katie & Michael’s Wedding this weekend and it was such a blast!  They tied the knot in a beautiful garden ceremony at Flint Hill.  There had so many fun & quirky ideas that were a part of their wedding.  For instance, the bride wore sparkly converse shoes, instead of heels.  The groom and all of the groomsmen wore chucks with their tuxes.  The bride had a groomsman and the groom had a groomswoman as part of the bridal party.  And of course, we can’t forget all of the super cute details from the Twilight Saga, which I LOVED! Like I said, they did lots of super cool things and made their wedding customized specifically for them.

Congrats again to this super sweet couple.  Enjoy the Sneak Peek below and please check back soon for lots more photos!

Lynda and Allan got married this past weekend in the privacy of their son’s home.  I have to say that it was the most intimate Wedding Ceremony I had ever seen and I loved every minute of it.  They only had the closest family & friends present when they exchanged their “I do’s” and it was all just so very sweet!

The reception followed at The American Legion in Duluth, GA.  Of course lots of eating, dancing, hugging and kissing was going on at the Reception.

Enjoy Lynda & Allan’s Sneak Peek below and as always, more pics coming soon.

Congrats again to this sweet and happy couple!

Enjoy!

I had the pleasure of being present at Kelly & Jonathan’s Wedding.  They were married at the beautiful Big Canoe in Jasper, GA.  The location was so far away, but once I arrived, it was all worth it.  It was an unbelievably beautiful location.

The ceremony was at the “Big Canoe Chapel” and it was very lovely.  The reception followed in “The Chimneys.”  There was so much dancing going on, it was way too much fun.  I also loved how the groom, Shannon, could not keep his hands off of his lovely wife, Kelly. They are just way too sweet!

Enjoy the photos below.

Congrats again to the Happy Couple!

Enjoy!

Nicole & Rick tied the knot…yeay! This beautiful couple got married at the Sandy Springs United Methodist Church in Sandy Springs, GA.  Even though I was all the up on the balcony during the Ceremony, I could still feel the love they shared for one another!  And Rick, he was so sweet, he couldn’t keep his eyes off of his new bride and couldn’t wipe that big smile off his face. It was just beautiful.

After the Ceremony and a zillion photos, the newlyweds were whisked away in a beautiful Rolls Royce.  The Reception was held at the Double Tree Hotel in Roswell, GA.

Enjoy their beautiful Wedding pics below. Congrats again to this sweet and happy couple!
