Zack and Haley’s Ashton Cole wedding day was absolutely gorgeous and they’re such an amazing couple. Everything from the bow on the dress from Tiffinie Bleu Bridals and the gorgeous Indigo Floral Studio flowers all over the place to their invitation suite from Truly engaging was thought through carefully and turned out perfectly. The wedding day had so many moments and I think one of our favorites was shortly after the first look with her Bridesmaids when they met near the ceremony area and exchanged private vows and it was such a great emotional moment early on in the day after everyone finished getting ready. Not very long after, the guests were showing up for the ceremony and it was time for us to get into place for the ceremony.

The ceremony was gorgeous with the sun giving off beautiful light through the trees covering the ceremony and tears were all over the place when Haley started coming down the aisle. Zack was so happy and held back tears most of the time and during the ceremony they exchanged their vows and rings then sealed it with a kiss then leaving the ceremony as the Grays. From there we took a dive straight into family formals, wedding party photos and then romantics of the newlyweds. After some gorgeous sunset photos and videos, we got them back to the lineup for everyone to be introduced into the reception. As everyone danced or drank their way into the reception, Zack and Haley started their first dance and then going to the Mother-Daughter and Mother-Son dances.

Throughout the rest of the reception, the dance floor was pretty much full thanks to Mike from M&S Mobile Productions and all of the fun guests of the wedding day. Zack and Haley also did their cake cutting, champagne toasts all over, took fun photo booth photos with a ton of guests, danced some more, did their bouquet and garter tosses and then ended the night with a pho-exit with sparklers and then running back into the dance floor afterwards to bring everyone out for even more dancing which is about the time that we packed up to head home. We’re so excited to witness more of the story of #growinggraytogether and bright future of this beautiful family.

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.
