We cannot say enough about both David and Drew or their wedding day at one of our all time favorites, Windsor Manor. We met with them back in June of last year and hit it off super quickly and since then, we have hiked up a mountain near Asheville, NC at Max Patch to see some of the first snow of the year for their engagement session which was freezing cold so you can only imagine that it was a great bonding experience as well and we got to laugh about a ton too. Fast forward to their wedding day back in Georgia and it was a gorgeous wedding day that felt like a fun garden party with pops of purple everywhere. Not to mention, these two have hearts of absolute GOLD and their friends and family were all so much fun to get to know and celebrate on the day with.

The wedding day itself started with saying hey as usual and grabbing details to make flat lays as well while I run off to do venue photo and video. Then as Drew slipped into her dress, she did a reveal with her girls before starting to write down her vows into the notebook from what she had typed out on her phone. The guys were also getting ready and David was also copying over his vows around this time and as soon as he finished that, we went outside for their first look. Once he turned around, these two shared such a sweet moment as well as their personal vows in such an intimate setting and it was one of the many highlights of the day for us to be a part of. We then had the wedding party come outside and started doing the wedding party and some of the couples portraits which led us up to getting ready for the ceremony while they were tucked away inside.

During the ceremony, they shared their vows in front of everyone as well as rings and more vows then shared the meaning of a Ukrainian tradition while David’s Brother explained that the first person to step becomes the leader of the household but they both stepped at the same time to show that they actually share that role. They were then announced as Husband and Wife and made their way up the aisle over to the side for family photos while everyone else got to go enjoy cocktail hour. We then finished the family photos, started doing wedding party and couples portraits with a little snack in between as well before bustling the dress for the reception entrances.

As the reception started, there were already fun moments where David’s Babushka was dancing already and having a great time but then the dance floor cleared for the entrances for the wedding party starting off dinner which also led into toasts, first dance, Mother-Daughter and Mother-Son dances followed by their first fight where they brought out swords and had a short fun sword fight. Throughout the rest of the night, the dance floor was full most of the time as well as the cake cutting, shoe game, drinks and bubbles out on the dance floor leading into their big bubble exit. It turned out that some of the wedding party just so happened to have extra bubble guns as well and we had some extra batteries so, there A LOT of bubbles and it was super fun. We know the future will prove to be beautiful for these two and are so excited for the Zhukov family!

Back around Spring time, we had the joy of meeting Mike and Elaine in person for their engagement session which you can see here. This gorgeous wedding day took place at the ever so gorgeous 1920’s built Windsor Manor providing a classic garden wedding taking place in Garden City itself, Augusta, GA.

The sage green and white color schemes were one of the first things to greet us on the wedding day which flowed right into details and venue photos as well as the girls getting ready. Between steaming the veil and the hair and makeup, we got some photos of the guys getting ready as well. Before too long, it was time for the ceremony so we split up the team some and got setup as well as getting the last bit of getting into the dress before heading out. Mike and Elaine went the traditional route and waited to see each other at the ceremony and Mike shed a few tears of joy and so did some of the family. The ceremony was full of beautiful vows between the two of them and ended with a kiss before walking up the aisle together as husband and wife. The moments following as the family gathered off to the side to prepare for family formals were some of the most emotional and sweet moments we’ve seen. We then finished the list of family photos and the wedding party as well which was comprised of family as well which led into their couples portraits right at golden hour. We loved having the classic car around for some photos as well and Mr. Martin (The car owner/driver) was such a joy to work with. From there, the dress was bustled and then they were announced into the reception party with the roaring crowd of their friends and family. They shared beautiful dances with each other as well as their parents. Everyone then ate some delicious food and eventually started back with the toasts, cake cutting then the dance floor opened up for a fun night for everyone. They also did a bouquet and garter toss nearing the end of the night just before they made their exit surrounded by the glow sticks and loved ones. After the exit, they came right back to dance some more and spend time with family before leaving for one of the most epic honeymoon trips. We’re so excited for this beautiful family they’ve brought together and know they have an amazing future ahead of them.

We had a great chance to meet with Marcus and Lilly a while ago and already having mutual friends through their church family, when we did their engagement session came around (which you can see here), we already had a kinship and it made for an amazing session. That only transferred and made the wedding day even more laid back and fun! This beautiful wedding day took place between two different locations. It was our first time visiting at Warren Baptist Church and then the other location we have been to a lot, the Savannah Rapids Pavillion.

The day started with the girls in Evans where we did details and photographed them getting ready then split where I went to photograph the guys down the road for a little bit of getting ready with them before returning back to the girls to help with the reveal with the bridesmaids. Once the girls turned around and saw Lilly, they screamed with joy and then Lilly hit them with a hands in the hidden dress pockets twirl and they ran in to hug her making for an amazing moment. We then got her Dad and brought him out facing the other way to setup for their first look which turned into a beautiful and emotional moment once they hugged and we could tell he was fighting back tears. They finished their moment and took a few photos together and then we left to meet up with everyone at the Savannah Rapids Pavillion for the Bride and Groom’s first look and some group photos. Once we had Marcus setup, Lilly made her way out to him and tapped him on the shoulder for him to turn around. He had a huge smile on his face and they shared a sweet hug before heading down the stairs to meet up with the rest of the wedding party for group photos. Once we finished the group photos, we also did a few couples photos with Marcus and Lilly followed by us splitting up to meet back up at the church. Once everyone made it inside at Warren, we had a few minutes still of guests arriving and so Morgan and I took our places once the doors started shutting. It was split into the two aisles of the chapel so Morgan and I split up the aisles to get everyone coming down and then once it was Lilly’s turn, Morgan focused on Marcus as I photographed the Bride and her Father coming down the aisle at the same time. From here I went upstairs and Morgan stayed in the back of the chapel and we captured different angles of the ceremony where they prayed, took communion, exchanged rings and vows then finished off with their first kiss as husband and wife. They had so much joy on their face as they went back up the aisle together (they pretty much always have a ton of joy anyways but this was especially joyful). From here, we went to the prayer garden on the other side of the church grounds for the family formals and a few other couples portraits before driving to the reception at the Savannah Rapids Pavillion.

The reception was already full and felt like twice the amount of people than were at the ceremony somehow but we captured the details as everyone lined up to make their entrance and in just a matter of minutes everyone was dancing their way into the reception. Everyone had something funny for their entrance but there’s so many photos that it just didn’t make sense to blog them all here. Once they made it to their table, the food was blessed and in the next photo you see the toasts starting. Everyone’s toasts had such a different vibe and funny stories throughout so it was a lot of fun to hear and set a great tone for the rest of the reception. It was then time to do the dances where they had their first dance and at one point burst into laughter which was hard to not have a huge smile on your face seeing them having so much fun. They also did a Father/Daughter dance and Mother/Son dance before the cake cutting and then the dance floor opening up more. Right after the cake cutting, the first song that started playing had literally everyone singing. By the time the second song came on, I am pretty sure that maybe 8 people tops were still at their table instead of the dance floor which made for probably the most full dance floor we have ever seen, especially at the Rapids. Since everyone was dancing, the DJ setup a couples dance to see who had been married the longest. This is always one of our favorites to see and they even gave the winners a beautiful bouquet of flowers. From this point on was just pure party and fun whether it be forming a line going around the entire building, lifting their hands up and yelling “shout”, throwing the bouquet and even a bunch of fun line dances. They ended off the night with a super fun streamer exit and hopped into their SUV to drive off into the night as Mr. and Mrs. Taylor.

You might ask yourself, what can I do on my wedding day if there’s some extra time between venue availability and one great answer is to hop on a party bus with all of your wedding party and head to the bowling alley to bowl on some private lanes. It’s not often that you get to see a bride put on bowling shoes but, it’s also not often that you have a couple like this who met on stage as the lead roles and fell in love off stage too! There are a lot of moments on this wedding day that were far from the usual such as them finishing the first dance and throwing on jackets to dance and sing “You’re The One That I Want” from Grease or that when given the chance to photograph in the actual museum during the reception, you say okay now do “Singing in the Rain” with the light pole as a posing que.

Charles and Emily were a delight from the start when we met over Coffee and knew that we would enjoy the wedding day. Saint Teresa of the Avila is such a gorgeous catholic church in the Grovetown area and with all the interesting changes brought of by Covid-19, it was still perfect and they had room to have a decent sized wedding and we loved that. Shortly after the ceremony and family photos inside, we got to hang out a little and take some couples photos while we waited for the party bus to arrive. We hopped on the bus once it arrived and everyone commenced to laugh, take photos and even make a toast among themselves. We arrived and checked in at the bowling alley and I couldn’t event remember the last time I had been there so, needless to say, everything looked wayyy different and the private lanes were great and they announced the happy couple over the intercom which was unexpected and a lot of fun to see their reactions. Morgan and I left just a little before they did at the bowling alley to get ahead over the museum to photograph and film the details there before it got busy and packed and so we could get them arriving to the reception and we got to meet Bryan (Dr Vac - the DJ) and a few guests around the tables which was a great experience. Come time for them to arrive and dance their way off the bus and then into the reception where the dances began which we already talked about but, they also had some surprise guests where Emily’s parents were both dancing with her at one point and then Charles’ dad danced with his mother and then Charles stole the dance half way in which seemed to surprise her a little and was so sweet to see. The rest was history at the Augusta museum of History as they danced the night away and we said goodbye but, we found ourselves heading home and talking about how much fun that wedding day was and that there were a lot of surprises around every corner. We were honored to be a part of Charles and Emily’s big day and now that they have tied the knot officially, we cannot wait to see what’s next!
