Joey & Victoria
Joey and Victoria had such a gorgeous Fall wedding day at Ashton Cole Place in Thomson, GA full of some of the biggest smiles, tears and these two just know how to have a good time. You can see their rooftop engagement session here.
The day started off with details and some amazing game day entrances with the guy showing up. Everyone started getting ready, the girls popped a bottle of champagne for mimosas and enjoyed them around the bridal suite in their robes while the guys were starting to get ready. Before long at all, the guys were ready and so I took them near a fence line for their group photos in the shade there while Morgan and Chastity finished up the dress and girls getting ready. Once the girls were ready, they took part in a tradition we had never seen before called the cake pull where the girls pulled fortunes from the cake by pulling a ribbon. Then we had Joey in place for their first touch and reading vows to each other so we got them in place and then enjoyed being a part of the beautiful moment. They were tucked away and guests started showing up which led straight into the ceremony where all of their family and friends got to witness the tears of joy from Joey when seeing Victoria for the first time but also the beautiful dress and cape. During the ceremony they exchanged vows, rings and took part in pouring unity sand followed by sealing the deal with their first kiss as husband and wife. We then hopped straight into family and wedding party photos while the guests enjoyed cocktail hour followed by then their couples portraits around the property to then get them in line for their introductions into the reception. They all danced their way into reception which provided a bunch of funny moments and the wedding party lined the dancefloor as the dj announced Mr. and Mrs. Wall straight into their first dance as well as Father-Daughter and Mother-Son dances. Dinner time was upon us and everyone got to enjoy Sconyers BBQ (Morgan’s favorite as a side note). After dinner, a few toasts were given which then opened up the dance floor afterwards for the rest of the night to be a joyful party. At one point early into that, they brought out a birthday cake to celebrate both the Bride and Groom’s Grandmother’s birthday that were on that day which is so special. Throughout the night, there was a ton of dancing, the bouquet and garter tosses which were caught by the same couple as well as cake cutting and a bit of moonshine. The night ended for us with a fake glowstick exit where Joey carried Victoria back through to go back into the reception. It was a gorgeous wedding day and we’re so excited for them both and what their future holds as the Wall family.
