field wedding venue

Jamie & Amber

 

We had the joy of photographing this sweet couple’s engagement session last Fall which you can see here. That session was at the venue as well as the Bridal session we did more recently for Amber as well which we will hopefully share here soon as well. Enough about that though, this beautiful day took place at Vows & Venue in Harlem, Ga with an amazing team of vendors and the sweetest couple with the sweetest family and friends surrounding them as well.

The day itself was full of a ton of beautiful moments with a bunch of matching pj’s with the girls and babies all over the place which is the way to our heart already. Once we finished details and some photos for the girls in the pjs, it was time for Amber to hop into her dress and at the same time, our third shooter Tom was also with the guys and we made sure to say hey while the girls were all getting dressed as well as photographing and filming some of the venue space. Amber was finished getting into her beautiful dress so we setup for the first looks with her girls, her Dad and then her Brother which all three had such completely different emotions but they were all beautiful and special. Before we knew it, it was time for them to tie the knot so we made our way out and setup everything we needed and mic’d Jamie up. The joy was all over Jamie when he saw his Bride. It was a beautiful ceremony with a gorgeous field as the backdrop as well as the arbor that Jamie built giving such a nice personal touch which we took advantage of as soon as they said their I do’s and sealed it all with a kiss. We started with family photos and then wedding party photos then ended with just the two newly weds first at the arbor then out into the field behind.

Then it was reception time and guests were finishing up enjoying cocktail hour and some of the photobooth from our friends at Southeastern exposure just outside of the barn. It started with a roaring crowd cheering the entire wedding party and Bride and Groom into their first dance as well as the Father-Daughter and Mother-Son dances. From there we did the cake cutting and they enjoyed their first custom mixed drink really quick after but from there, we start to really get some plot twists into the mix. They did the bouquet and garter tosses and danced a little, then all of the sudden a table is pulled into the middle of the dance floor for a wedding party edition of flip cup where the girls got to enjoy a devastating victory of the guys. That was also followed up shortly by the shoe game and then a Bride and Groom dance off with cash prizes being thrown at them judged by the cheering of their loved ones. Then it was an open dance floor most of the rest of the night and some people retreated to keep score of the Georgia game that night while others were also enjoying some slow dancing as couples including the private dance for Jamie and Amber before the exit. Then they actually did a fake exit with all I can explain as streamer but also with a hint of like teepeeing the couple since you had to throw them a little but, they looked so cool and all stayed attached so it was a quick and easy clean up so 10/10 would recommend. Everyone then made their way back in slowly to the dance floor and one of the Jr. Bridesmaids gifted Jamie and Amber with the baseball from the game where Jamie proposed to Amber which was so special and Jamie legitimately looked shocked and they loved the gift which, outside of more dancing and cute baby stuff, was the last major event of the night for us so, as things were winding down, we hugged Amber and congratulated them again! They’re such a great couple and I know they have such a great future ahead of them and we’re super excited to see what lies ahead for them!
