Brian & Autumn

 

Brian and Autumn’s wedding day at White Oak Road Farm was everything you could not just hope for but, dream about. It was absolutely gorgeous and full of so many fun moments and seeing these families coming together made for such a special day in Appling, just outside of Augusta, GA.

The day started with of course saying hey and then diving into detail photos and then straight into Autumn getting into her beautiful wedding dress with the help of her Mom. After that, Autumn did a few first looks with two of the very important men in her life which then led straight into all of her girls enjoying a quick drink on the porch as well as the formal photos with all of her girls as well as them going back in to touch up and relax for a bit and then doing the formals for the Groomsmen as well. Then it was time for the ceremony and all of their well dressed guests started arriving to see their custom newspaper and making their way to their seats. Once Brian and the entire wedding party and family had made their way to the front, the ring bearer and flower girl made their way down preparing for Autumn. Once Brian finally saw Autumn, it became such an emotional and beautiful moment for everyone. During the ceremony, Brian and Autumn shared their vows and rings in a gorgeous hillside setting and sealed the deal with their kiss. As they walked back up the aisle together as Mr. and Mrs. Marter, everyone cheered and threw dried flower petals making for such a joyful moment all around. After the ceremony, we then did their family formals and the full wedding party together as well as taking the bride and groom down by the pond for some of their formals which led straight into preparing for the reception.

Once they entered into the reception full of gorgeous boho decor, the custom signage and cheering from their closest friends and family. They entered straight into party mode and did their first dance, the bride and important men of her life dance and the mother and son dance as well. From here, everyone enjoyed dinner, toasts, cake cutting, glow sticks making their way to the dance floor as well as just a fun night of dancing and drinks for everyone. Shortly after, Autumn gave a heartfelt toast and snuck away for a dress change to end off the party with some more flair. At the end of the night, the new bride and groom shared a last dance together alone and then made their way into the sparkler exit ending off the night surrounded by so many of their favorite people cheering them on while waving around their sparklers and glow sticks. This couple is so amazing and we know Brian and Autumn have a bright future ahead as well as their families and we’re so excited for them!

Alex & Cassie

 

Alex and Cassie had such a classic wedding day at The Barn at Sanderlin Horse Farm in Appling, Georgia in the Fall of 2023. The day was so full of family, friends and a ton of moments that formed such a beautiful thread throughout the wedding day that we’re so excited we were able to be a part of.

The day started off with details, florals all over the place and of course, the obvious part, getting ready with some of their most favorite people. This led to some amazing first look moments with the bridesmaids, brothers and even a little bit of a mother and son one that wasn’t planned at all and then ended off with the Bride and Groom’s first look. Every single one had great emotions and warm embraces with so much meaning in each one and the groom had to wipe tears away twice and some of the Bridesmaids were trying to keep their makeup together too. We then kicked into the wedding party photos and a few sibling photos as well just before getting ready for the ceremony.

During the ceremony, the Groom’s uncle was the officiant and we saw a bunch of emotional moments as well. There were beautiful readings, a ton of jokes and references to movies, their vows to each other and they sealed the end of the ceremony with a kiss surrounded by cheers from their loved ones. As they exited the ceremony, we switched into the family formals as everyone enjoyed cocktail hour as well which ended off with getting ready for the entrances to the reception.

During the reception, there were a bunch of fun poses with the entrances which led into so many beautiful dances, dinner, cake cutting, a garter toss and a super special twist on a bouquet toss where she handed all of the girls a rose and then prayed over them all. This all then kicked off speeches, a night full of dancing and joy where we got to meet some of their amazingly fun guests and see their personalities shine which then setup for such a fun fake exit where they got into the car and drove just a bit then circled back and ended the night back on the dance floor. This couple is so perfect together and their future is bright so we cannot wait to watch what comes next for the Crows!

Grant & Chasity

 

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!

David & Jennifer

 

Oh the joy that being able to capture multiple weddings for a family brings to us. We were able to capture Jennifer’s daughter Baylee’s wedding day and it is always such a joy to see the family again on another joyful day like this! This time, instead of Sandersville, we were nearby in Milledgeville at the Dogwood Barn at G5 ranch with the planning by Gigi’s by Grace Ann Designs, gorgeous florals by Mulberry and Magnolia and the catering even woven into David and Jennifer’s story with the ministries they met serving in and what they do for work. It was a perfect start to our Fall season of weddings and full of so much beauty.

The day itself started off with us walking around the venue a bit and then saying hey to everyone inside as well as grabbing some details to photograph. Around the time everyone was getting ready, we helped setup for a special box of Cheerios (he eats a bowl every morning) that was re-sealed with a special prize inside (his customized cufflinks). We then split off to finish up with Jennifer getting ready and then doing group photos before the ceremony. Then the ceremony time came along and the sunset made for absolutely gorgeous light at the waterfront ceremony. It was a lot of fun to see Cody (Baylee’s husband) as one of the flower dudes and having fun with it. Then there was live singing as well as the musical backdrop to Jennifer coming down the aisle to David. During the ceremony, they exchanged vows, tied the rope of three strands and sealed it all with a kiss before excitedly exiting as Mr. and Mrs. Rice officially. From here, we setup to do family photos, wedding party and then explore the property a bit with the newlyweds for their couples portraits and then ended off with her getting her dress bustled a bit so they could enter into the reception for their first dance together. Once they entered into the cheering reception, they started their loving first dance which then led into a few others. They did a Mother-Son dance for David and then a Mother-Son dance for Jennifer and then also, a Father-Daughter in-law dance to end off. The rest of the night was full of delicious food and cheese cake (I know it’s food too but it’s a very special food in my opinion), dancing, fellowship and then ending off the night with a sparkler exit. The Rice family has already been up to doing amazing things but, we know this power couple has even more ahead in the future!
