new york — Beauty & Beard PhotographyBlog

This wedding day took place at Sacred Heart Cultural Center here in Augusta, GA and we got to work with Tracy Yahn Events and her team for a great and beautiful wedding day celebrating Jonathan & Kimberly. They had a bunch of family coming from all over with a pretty large amount from New York coming in to celebrate which was a lot of fun to meet everyone that we had the chance to meet.

The day itself started super simple with them getting ready and us just grabbing a some details after saying hello to both Jon and Kim as well as all of the vendors there since we already knew everyone super well. Once everyone was ready we took turns taking the couple out with a little bit of family for their photos. Before long, it was time for the ceremony and everyone was in place. We have to say that we don’t shoot at Sacred Heart a whole lot but, it really does just have such beautiful architecture and we love some of these wide shots from the ceremony so much! After they exchanged their vows and completed their unity heart, they sealed the deal with a kiss and walked out as husband and wife! From there, we did a few more family photos and also walked around to do their romantic shots around the venue before splitting off to get ready for the entrance and her dress getting bustled.

Even the entrance into the reception had so much classic charm as the background with Jon and Kim having a ton of fun with their friends and family. As soon as they made it back down to the dance floor, they went into their first dance followed by a group photo of everyone present at the wedding. There were a few toasts and everyone spoke of how they met and how obvious the love between the newlyweds was to notice early on with some funny stories mixed in as well. The toasts were then followed by the dance floor opening but with so many traveling from so far, it was easy to see that they wanted to talk to everyone and mingle as much as possible first then they hopped out to the dance floor closer to the end of the day and had a ton of fun together. We ended our day with them right around sunset with a few photos inside and then just a few quick bridal portraits with the golden hour glow which felt like a great ending to our time with them. These two have already had a ton of success in their careers and have formed a beautiful life together but, I know they have even more great adventure ahead and we are excited to have told the story of the start of the rest of their lives together!
