We had the honor of meeting this amazing couple at the engagement session we posted here. We originally met with their planners Wesley Cadle and Megan Thrash over coffee and just a short time later we did the session and got to know Trey and Emily and had an amazing time with them!

Fast forward to the wedding day (which felt like it showed up in no time at all) and we had our third shooter with Trey and the boys at Men’s Refinery in downtown Augusta while we met up with the bride and everyone else at the venue and started having fun right away with all of the girls photographing dresses and details then doing the big reveal once Emily was in her dress to her girls and a few actually shed some tears which was amazing to be a part of. We then did the first look with her father right after out on the porch and he managed to keep it together but just barely but it was so sweet seeing them together and his interaction with his granddaughter Finley and just how loved she is from literally everyone at the wedding. We also did all of the group photos that we could before they see each other and then Emily read a letter from Trey that made her cry and set the tone for the beautiful first look we were about experience. We try to get the first look set up and then just let them have their moment and that’s exactly what happened, he turned around and just couldn’t stop from smiling and then it turned to holding back tears quickly and they just hugged and kissed while we could hear the bridal party up the hill watching from a distance and yelling when he turned around which was so fun. We road the Golf Cart back up to the house to take family and full bridal party photos.

Next was the ceremony time which came together flawlessly and it was so adorable to hear Trey’s vows to Finley while Emily just had a big smile on her face hearing them. They both said their I do’s and tied the knot officially and ran off to go back up the hill to hide away together for a little bit as newly weds while everything in the venue transformed for cocktail hour and the reception (behind the scenes was crazy impressive we must say seeing that come together quickly and looking so elegant still). Mostly everyone headed into the tent outside where they had heaters and open bars that everyone seemed to enjoy for a little while then we headed back in while The Rising Tide (the band) got ready to play and introduce the bridal party and the bride and groom. They went into their first dance to “I get to love you” by Ruelle which was beautiful followed by the father daughter and mother and son dances. Emily’s parents took the stage a little after to give their toasts to the bride and groom and thanked a lot of the people involved and talked about the hustle and bustle of getting the day together and welcomed Trey to the family with a word of advice about faith and enjoying the journey. They then cut the gorgeous cake that Dianna Tornow made for them and of course there was a little bit of an extra smear with icing here and there which was a cute little funny moment they had. A few more sweet speeches and a bouquet and garter toss came up next followed by a night full of fun dancing and snacks from Zaxby’s (we had never seen this and thought it was a great idea and it was hilarious to see everyones pure joy over chicken fingers). As the dancing went on, a few surprise poppers made their way into the crowd and were shot off near the last dance which set the tone for their grand exit of having fake snow thrown all over them while they walked through everyone and gave some last minute but super meaningful hugs right before they left in their limo to ride off into the night as Mr and Mrs Morrison! We have had a fun time seeing their adventures in St. Lucia for their honeymoon and wish them and little Finley a full life of love and happy marriage together. We are so excited about the video we are working on for their wedding day and seeing how all of these beautiful moments come together to make a real tear jerker of a film! Congrats to the happy couples and it’s easy to see that you were meant to be #meanttobemorrison
