Dustie & Dakota when we first met them back in October of 22, the more we talked, the more we understood and got attached to the beautiful life and story they have unfolding together. We learned about the sunrise proposal on the beach in St. Helena, SC as well as their dogs and enjoyment of golf as well as how they met through their friends. All of this led us to the wedding day at Pine Knoll Farms in Augusta, GA as our last wedding of 2023 and it was an absolute joy of a way to end out our year!

The wedding day itself at Pine Knoll started off with the team arriving and splitting off where the girls stayed with the girls to work on the details while the guys went with the guys and did some venue coverage as on the way. After some time had passed, everyone was pretty much ready and we needed to get the Groom in place for the first look where they shared a nice private moment while their wedding party watched through the windows at a distance. We then split off again into guys and girls to do group portraits and then bring them back together for the entire wedding party before doing couples portraits in other locations. The weather was overcast the entire day which meant that doing mid day portraits was limitless because everywhere had good light so, of course that was a great time and led us into preparing for the ceremony as well. The Chapel was full of beautiful greenery and made a perfect backdrop for their ceremony. During the ceremony they exchanged vows, rings and sealed it all with a kiss and ringing the bell on the way out of the chapel. Afterwards, we did some more of the formal photos and then made our way to the reception.

As they entered into the reception surrounded by the cheering of their friends and family, they prepared to go straight into their first dance, Father and Daughter then Mother and Son dances. They all had such beautiful moments and during the Father and Daughter dance, her sisters also joined in for a cute ending to the dance as well. Not to long after eating dinner, they also had toasts, cake cutting and some photos outside which included opening and shaking a bottle of champagne which was a ton of fun. Throughout the rest of the reception, everyone enjoyed dancing as couples and just in general which eventually led to the sparkler exit ending out an absolutely gorgeous wedding day. We’re so excited for Dustie & Dakota and know that the future has some beautiful things in store for them!

Oh the joy that being able to capture multiple weddings for a family brings to us. We were able to capture Jennifer’s daughter Baylee’s wedding day and it is always such a joy to see the family again on another joyful day like this! This time, instead of Sandersville, we were nearby in Milledgeville at the Dogwood Barn at G5 ranch with the planning by Gigi’s by Grace Ann Designs, gorgeous florals by Mulberry and Magnolia and the catering even woven into David and Jennifer’s story with the ministries they met serving in and what they do for work. It was a perfect start to our Fall season of weddings and full of so much beauty.

The day itself started off with us walking around the venue a bit and then saying hey to everyone inside as well as grabbing some details to photograph. Around the time everyone was getting ready, we helped setup for a special box of Cheerios (he eats a bowl every morning) that was re-sealed with a special prize inside (his customized cufflinks). We then split off to finish up with Jennifer getting ready and then doing group photos before the ceremony. Then the ceremony time came along and the sunset made for absolutely gorgeous light at the waterfront ceremony. It was a lot of fun to see Cody (Baylee’s husband) as one of the flower dudes and having fun with it. Then there was live singing as well as the musical backdrop to Jennifer coming down the aisle to David. During the ceremony, they exchanged vows, tied the rope of three strands and sealed it all with a kiss before excitedly exiting as Mr. and Mrs. Rice officially. From here, we setup to do family photos, wedding party and then explore the property a bit with the newlyweds for their couples portraits and then ended off with her getting her dress bustled a bit so they could enter into the reception for their first dance together. Once they entered into the cheering reception, they started their loving first dance which then led into a few others. They did a Mother-Son dance for David and then a Mother-Son dance for Jennifer and then also, a Father-Daughter in-law dance to end off. The rest of the night was full of delicious food and cheese cake (I know it’s food too but it’s a very special food in my opinion), dancing, fellowship and then ending off the night with a sparkler exit. The Rice family has already been up to doing amazing things but, we know this power couple has even more ahead in the future!

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.

Austin and Rachael are such a sweet couple and being a part of these moments was such a treasure for us. Not only do we love Ashton Cole Place and the vendor team but, getting to know the family and this couples heart even more made for a day that’s hard to not get attached to.

We actually started the day off by meeting up with my family for an early lunch in Thomson since they are from Washington, GA that’s just around 20 minutes away. After lunch, we made our way to the venue to meet up with Austin first and then say hey to all of the girls with Rachael and get started on details. We always love working with Mallory from Honeycomb Florals as well because she leaves us extra flowers to use for flat lays and things of that nature and basically any time we see her name, we know it’s going to be fun. Once we were finishing up with details, the girls were finishing up and so our third shooter also went with the guys as they were getting ready quickly. As Rachael finished up getting in her dress, Tom and I (Jordan) took Austin to prepare for the first look. Once we knew what angles we wanted, we gave the signal for Morgan to bring Rachael out as well. I cannot wait to share the video of this moment but, you can tell from the photos that it was an emotional and amazing first look and they also exchanged vows there. From there we went straight into the Father-Daughter first look and got him setup with a Mic as well. Here they shared sweet moment near the reception barn before everyone made their way to do some group photos before the ceremony. As guests began to arrive, we finished up quickly and then made our way to the ceremony to setup our other camera and get into position. It’s always fun to play with the dynamics in ceremony spaces but it typically works out to where our third shooter Tom is giving a secondary angle and getting the back of the dress as they pass him and then Morgan and I are at the front capturing everyone in both photo and video as they come down the aisle. Everyone made it into their places perfectly but, a special shout out to the ring bearer for making hilarious faces on the way as well. Now it was time for the Bride to come down the aisle and you could tell how excited and just flat out happy Austin was in that moment knowing that it was really happening. After Rachael’s Dad (Travis) handed her off and gave Austin a big hug, we all had the honor of experiencing a beautiful ceremony that was so graciously led by the officiant. Once they said their vows and sealed everything with a kiss, they made their way back up the aisle hand in hand as Mr. and Mrs. Mejias! We had them stop at the top of the aisle for a quick kiss (long story short, this is a version of one of our favorite photos from our wedding day so we like to do it for our couples). Then we knocked out some beautiful family photos and enjoyed joking with everyone before dismissing everyone to the reception or to meet up with the coordinator for their lineup as we whisked away for couples photos of the Newlyweds. It had rained a little so, we prioritized the beautiful garden areas that were a little more up hill and dry and we were already there so it worked to get a ton of gorgeous photos and get them to their reception quickly as well!

We have to say that, everyone in the wedding party knows how to make an entrance but I think that Carson probably had the most hyped entrance besides the moment that the Bride and Groom came in to “All the way turnt up”. From here they went straight into their dances which one was a surprise to us with a live performance that was beautifully done. From here everyone ate and we eventually came to the Dollar Dance followed by speeches and cake cutting. There were so many emotional high moments in the speeches that trying to type about that would make this much longer of a blog. After the cake cutting, we came to the start of full on party with the bouquet and garter tosses which had some hilarious moments with Travis playing around during Austin taking the garter off and we got to see who was next in line with the Bouquet and Garter as well. Everyone danced their hearts out for quite a long time and then it was time for last dance and then fake send off with sparklers. I think this may have actually been one of the longest lines for sparklers that we’ve seen so, that was really cool to see and made for a bunch of great photos and then as the night continued for a little while longer, we switched up some things camera wise to match the romantic and slow dancing vibe that took place to give a more vintage and bloomy look to the lighting as we got to see all of the happy couples enjoying their night. It was shortly after that we got to say goodbye to the newlyweds and make our way back to Grovetown. We thoroughly enjoyed the honor of being present at this wedding and are super excited for the future of the Mejias family!
