We had the chance to meet Lee & Dena back in May of 2023 and talk about this beautiful wedding day at the Lake Rabun Hotel in Lakemont, GA and how they wanted Spring mountains and greenery everywhere because of their love for nature and they wanted and intimate wedding day full of family. We also learned about how they met and some of Dena’s story as a single Mom and how he proposed to her in their living room keeping with the intimate theme. He likes fixing cars and they both love being outdoors and spending time with family which is all felt throughout the story and wedding day. We got the chance to meet up with them also the day we did some of our Christmas mini sessions at Padgett’s Farm and Morgan even got to hold their sweet baby Girl Delaney which then brings us to the wedding day itself.

The day started with our team showing up and meeting up with Kirsten, the planner and then making our way to the cabin to photograph details where the girls were getting ready. Once they were all dressed, we got them ready for the first look just down the hill. They shared their private vows and a sweet moment and from there we hopped straight into some of the family photos before heading to the ceremony/reception site and the Forest Lodge. Once there, they got to mingle with their guests and get everything set up for the ceremony. During the ceremony itself, they shared beautiful vows and used different colored sands in the sand ceremony to represent everyone in their family blending together and it was very cute seeing the kids take part. Afterwards, they shared a kiss and were announced as husband and wife before making their way back up the aisle. From there, everyone enjoyed cocktail hour and formals as the ceremony space was flipped into reception space and before long, it was time for the wedding party to line up and be announced in.

The reception was where Athens DJ Service got to shine and Cannon had the dance floor as full as it could be most of the time. Everyone was announced in and they went into their formal dances and then later cake cutting and toasts where a lot of the people they love gave heartfelt toasts. They shared more dances throughout the night and the dancefloor was opened and full which led to the end of the night with the sparkler exit outside of the Forest Lodge. We’re super happy to have been a part of Lee and Dena’s wedding and story and know that their family will have such a beautiful future together.

Brandon and Melissa, as we quickly found out, have big hearts and love their people deeply. We met them back in September of 22 and then we got to do their super fun engagement photos at the Columbia county fair! We learned a lot about them and their trips to New Orleans, LA which eventually brought us to their beautiful wedding day at Pine Knoll Farms!

The day started off with details and saying hey to everyone as well as all of the venue coverage for both photo and video and then that led us up to Melissa getting into her dress and then us setting up the first looks with both her Dad and then the Groom who both had big smiles on their faces once they saw her. We also setup a quick first look with the Bride’s siblings near the chapel before doing family photos which shortly after that, it was time for the ceremony. The ceremony had so many adorable moments like the flower Grandmother, a bunch of family crying as well as the tears of joy from Brandon as soon as he saw his soon to be Wife. They also tied the rope of three chords, shared personal vows and once everything was all said and done, kissed and made their way to ring the bell as Husband and Wife. This led straight into some couples portraits as the sun was going down and then we made our way to the reception so they could get the party started.

As the reception was kicked off with their entrance, everyone cheered and they started off with their first dance, the father and daughter then mother and son dances which has become some of our favorite moments here lately as we’ve become parents (it hits differently now). Everyone got to enjoy some delicious dinner and then Brandon and Melissa cut their wedding cake. Throughout the rest of the reception, they made their way around to all of the tables to make sure they got to see everyone, danced a ton, tossed the bouquet and garter, took a bunch of fun 360 photo booth videos, did some night time wedding party photos and a few other family portraits and then ended off the night with the sparkler exit into Brandon’s Jeep which was followed by more dancing since it was a fake exit and they came back.

Where do we even begin with Grant and Chasity? Not only was this wedding day at Perry’s Landing absolutely gorgeous but, this is one of the sweetest couples ever and they have shown and inspiring amount of grace as parents and a family going through years of tough situations and constant hospital visits but always come out on the other side as such a strong family. This day played such a huge role in the story and the fact that it was full of so much joy and beauty was so fun to be a part of.

The day itself started off with Tom, Aaron, Theresa and myself (Jordan) showing up and splitting off to capture the day doing details and getting ready to begin with. As we finished up all of the details and everyone was nearing finishing getting dressed, Chasity’s Mom helped with the final touches on her dress just before the first look. Once we had Grant in place, we called to have Chasity come out and he turned and had a huge smile and they got to share a little moment together before the day kicked into high gear. Afterwards, Chasity hid behind Grant as we got her Dad in place for a first look with him as well and, I am not sure if anyone expected the tears but, it was such a sweet moment as well. We still had some time before the ceremony so we went ahead and did some wedding party photos as well as a few family and couples portraits after before they needed to hide away for the ceremony. As guests started to arrive, they were in place and we setup our extra cameras as well and planned a few drone shots. During the ceremony you see mostly Grant’s best man who came from Charleston (I believe) to support his friend right next to Grant who is smiling from ear to ear and even looks up at one point in a moment of pure bliss that the moment has finally arrived. After exchanging their vows and rings, they sealed the deal with a kiss and walked up the aisle as the Burtons officially with their boys coming just behind them. After the ceremony, we hopped into family formals and more couples portraits during golden hour.

As they were announced into the reception tent, everyone cheered and they went straight into their first dance as well as the Father and Daughter, Mother and Son and then Mother and Daughter dances which were all so sweet and we saw them share a few moments with their family during. From there we also went to do the cake cutting and toasts inside the barn at Perry’s Landing. The rest of the night was full of dancing, the bouquet toss, food of course and then ending the night with a sparkler exit surrounded by all of their favorite people. Since the wedding day, we have seen good news already on social media and know that amazing things are ahead for this beautiful family!

Zack and Haley’s Ashton Cole wedding day was absolutely gorgeous and they’re such an amazing couple. Everything from the bow on the dress from Tiffinie Bleu Bridals and the gorgeous Indigo Floral Studio flowers all over the place to their invitation suite from Truly engaging was thought through carefully and turned out perfectly. The wedding day had so many moments and I think one of our favorites was shortly after the first look with her Bridesmaids when they met near the ceremony area and exchanged private vows and it was such a great emotional moment early on in the day after everyone finished getting ready. Not very long after, the guests were showing up for the ceremony and it was time for us to get into place for the ceremony.

The ceremony was gorgeous with the sun giving off beautiful light through the trees covering the ceremony and tears were all over the place when Haley started coming down the aisle. Zack was so happy and held back tears most of the time and during the ceremony they exchanged their vows and rings then sealed it with a kiss then leaving the ceremony as the Grays. From there we took a dive straight into family formals, wedding party photos and then romantics of the newlyweds. After some gorgeous sunset photos and videos, we got them back to the lineup for everyone to be introduced into the reception. As everyone danced or drank their way into the reception, Zack and Haley started their first dance and then going to the Mother-Daughter and Mother-Son dances.

Throughout the rest of the reception, the dance floor was pretty much full thanks to Mike from M&S Mobile Productions and all of the fun guests of the wedding day. Zack and Haley also did their cake cutting, champagne toasts all over, took fun photo booth photos with a ton of guests, danced some more, did their bouquet and garter tosses and then ended the night with a pho-exit with sparklers and then running back into the dance floor afterwards to bring everyone out for even more dancing which is about the time that we packed up to head home. We’re so excited to witness more of the story of #growinggraytogether and bright future of this beautiful family.
