Tyler & Sheri

 

Tyler and Sheri’s wedding day in Cleveland, GA at The Cottage Vineyard and Winery was such a beautiful way to start a Fall Monday morning recently. Not only did we get to see the sunrise in the North Georgia mountains, we got to celebrate their love and spend time with them making art in a beautiful location which we of course enjoy doing.

The day started off in a large cabin rental where everyone got ready with the beautiful mountain sunrise view as hair, makeup and getting dressed were all taking place. We also set up flat lay details on the deck and around the time of the bride finishing getting ready and into her dress, we left to get to the venue ahead of her and setup our extra camera on a tripod quickly and put a mic on Tyler. The mountain views backing the ceremony were gorgeous and it was such an intimate wedding on the double tiered deck of the Cottage Vineyard and Winery. Tyler had a huge smile when he saw Sheri come around the corner and everyone enjoyed the beautiful ceremony. One of their first acts together was to take communion before their first kiss as husband and wife. From there, we took everyone up the hill just a bit for the formal group photos before walking around the hills of the vineyard taking the couples romantic portraits. It was a shorter wedding day for us but, absolutely gorgeous the entire time and also ended with us being able to swing over to Helen for lunch where we ran into some of the wedding guests before doing another session later that afternoon. We are so happy for these two and know that the future holds a ton of beautiful moments for them.

Kyle & Jessica

 

We originally met with Kyle and Jessica back in September via Zoom and learned about when they met in the Army 12 years which first led to the decisive moment of him proposing at Universal Studios which subsequently leads us to this beautiful wedding day at Windsor Manor full of smiles, icing each other, beautiful vows, some great toasts and vivid shades of Jessica’s favorite color, pink.

The wedding day itself started off with us meeting the new venue manager/on sight coordinator, Christine as well as our friend Mallory of Honeycomb Florals to say hey briefly since we arrived early. That then lead straight to us getting into gathering details while saying hey to Jessica and all of her girls, as we were getting into the details downstairs, Kyle also showed up which worked out perfectly for us to grab the rings and a few other things which is where we heard about the first “icing” of the day which is a prank but, we won’t go into the details of that here. Once we finished details, we split up some while I did photo and video of the venue and the girls (Morgan and Bella) worked on getting the dress setup and also getting some of the makeup process taking place. The guys started to finish up getting ready so we got Jessica’s letter and gift for Kyle and set him up to read and open in the more quiet room for video reasons but, he opened a really nice watch and loved it and may or may not have gotten choked up some reading the letters. We then did the same for Jessica after getting photos of everyone in their robes together on the couch and had her read and open her beautiful necklace as well which her Mom came and helped put it on right after. The guys all made their way outside with Bella and I to do their group photos while the girls were getting dressed which then led straight into doing the first look for Jessica and Kyle. Guests started showing up pretty early so, we opted to do the first look inside by the stairs and they shared a beautiful moment just before ceremony time.

The ceremony started off with the groom and groomsmen all coming from the side just after some of the family and that was followed by everyone else coming down the aisle where their kiddos seemed to enjoy their moment coming down too which led straight into Jessica and her Father coming down the aisle. In that moment, Kyle was holding back tears and they were both so happy as she got closer and closer. Once they shared their I-do’s and finished off the ceremony with a kiss, they made their way back up the aisle together as husband and wife with their family and loved ones trailing just behind to the family formals location. Here, they were met with their glasses for a celebratory drink together. We then photographed all of their formal photos and some romantic golden hour couples portraits just before heading into the reception.

As everyone entered into the reception, they were greeted with cheers as the DJ Mike announced them in which was followed with some dance moves by some of them. As the newlyweds came in, everyone cheered and they went straight into their first dance followed by the Father-Daughter dance. The next part included a pasta bar so, you can imagine that we loved that and Delectable Delights knocked it out of the park with the delicious food. As everyone finished up eating, we then went into the loving toasts by both the Best Man and Matron of Honor who are family and had a ton of stories and loving sentiments to share with everyone present. We also cut the cake and then the dance floor opened up where everyone had a blast and a few will for sure make some fun moments in the wedding film with how much they enjoyed the cameras. The night ended with the glowstick exit and cheers of everyone present and we left with a big smile on our faces for how beautiful the day was. We’re excited for their sweet family and know they have a fun adventure ahead with each other!

Curt & Ashley

 

So I (Jordan) have known Curt for years from us working together for a long time at a dealership together. We always got to enjoy talking about music and fun camera/production type things together when we had a chance. Years later and we have both started beautiful families and when they mentioned having us capture their wedding day, we knew it was going to be an absolute joy full of little Clara smiles and beautiful floral arrangements.

The day started for us with the girls at the ceremony location and we actually bumped into Ashley outside while we were looking around at everything with perfect timing and got to say hey. We then all went upstairs to get details while the girls finished getting their hair and makeup done so I left Morgan and Bella to do the details while I went down the road to the Markey home where the guys were getting ready still. We did just a few photos there of them getting ready and then I made my way back to the girls just in time for photos of the dress and the girls finishing up hair and makeup. Upon finishing hair and makeup, we photographed some more details outside and helped get the guys boutonnieres pinned on and their group photographs completed. Once Ashley finished getting into her absolutely beautiful dress, we got some last few photographs and gave her a moment to facetime with her mother who was not able to travel for health reasons. Shortly after that, some more family came into the room for some impromptu first looks that were incredibly beautiful moments that we’re honored to have been a part of.

The backyard oasis of a ceremony kicked off beautifully all the way through Curt giving his Mom a kiss. Anyone who knows Curt and Ashley would suspect that that changed up a little bit just after he did that with it switching to Outcast’s “So fresh, so clean” as the guys put on sunglasses and Curt added a little extra swagger to his step going up. It’s completely in character and was a fun little transition between songs to accompany the rest of his walk. As Ashley came out accompanied by her Father in law, everyone stood up and from what we could tell, were all either crying or smiling ear to ear. It’s such a beautiful moment and we could tell that it would be by the tears flowing in the room earlier when Ashley asked to be walked by her Father in law. During the ceremony, the exchanged beautiful vows which will probably translate into the video better than if I typed them here or anything but, the whole thing was incredibly beautiful and full of both tears and laughter. After they said their I do’s and sealed it with a kiss, they threw their hands up in the air together in an adorable and happy moment before they walked back around together as Mr. and Mrs. Markey. It was then time for family formals which we decided on doing in the front/side yard because of the even lighting and beautiful greenery background. We managed to time Clara’s nap pretty well and she came out near the end of the photos in a great mood and we got to take a ton of photos of them all together. As we made our way back to the reception time in the back yard, the food was blessed and a small speech was given. After everyone ate their fill of tacos, we then made our way to cut the cake. Also, to explain the custom cake toppers, they were representative of Curt, Ashley and Clara and fit perfectly with the garden the flower themes. Shortly after they cut the cake and fed each other, there was a beautiful speech given by the best man Mark. Ashley and Curt shortly after also shared their first dance as husband and wife which was then followed by open dance floor for a while. Before we left, we also got to take some more couples portraits by the beautiful brick wall and gate into the neighbors yard which then led us to how we ended our night, Smores! We’re so excited for Curt, Ashley and Clara and honored to have been a part of this beautiful day marking the start of the next chapter in their lives together.
