Mike & Elaine

 

Back around Spring time, we had the joy of meeting Mike and Elaine in person for their engagement session which you can see here. This gorgeous wedding day took place at the ever so gorgeous 1920’s built Windsor Manor providing a classic garden wedding taking place in Garden City itself, Augusta, GA.

The sage green and white color schemes were one of the first things to greet us on the wedding day which flowed right into details and venue photos as well as the girls getting ready. Between steaming the veil and the hair and makeup, we got some photos of the guys getting ready as well. Before too long, it was time for the ceremony so we split up the team some and got setup as well as getting the last bit of getting into the dress before heading out. Mike and Elaine went the traditional route and waited to see each other at the ceremony and Mike shed a few tears of joy and so did some of the family. The ceremony was full of beautiful vows between the two of them and ended with a kiss before walking up the aisle together as husband and wife. The moments following as the family gathered off to the side to prepare for family formals were some of the most emotional and sweet moments we’ve seen. We then finished the list of family photos and the wedding party as well which was comprised of family as well which led into their couples portraits right at golden hour. We loved having the classic car around for some photos as well and Mr. Martin (The car owner/driver) was such a joy to work with. From there, the dress was bustled and then they were announced into the reception party with the roaring crowd of their friends and family. They shared beautiful dances with each other as well as their parents. Everyone then ate some delicious food and eventually started back with the toasts, cake cutting then the dance floor opened up for a fun night for everyone. They also did a bouquet and garter toss nearing the end of the night just before they made their exit surrounded by the glow sticks and loved ones. After the exit, they came right back to dance some more and spend time with family before leaving for one of the most epic honeymoon trips. We’re so excited for this beautiful family they’ve brought together and know they have an amazing future ahead of them.

Matt & Anna

 

Well, this one is another one close to heart which is crazy that our past 3 blog posts were good friends before. For some perspective, we photographed their best friends’ wedding back in 2017, their whole friend group getting baptized the following year following great loss of their friends and then Matt also went on a mission trip to Haiti with us in 2019. A lot has happened since then that has brought this couple’s family together even still and getting to know we’ve photographed so many big events for their lives is so special but, this day at a friends event property on the Savannah River of course holds such a huge and special place in the list.

The day itself started with us meeting up with Rashelle (our 3rd shooter for the day) and saying hey to everyone. We instantly grabbed details from Anna for photos and I made my way downstairs with the guys for some getting ready photos and once we finished all of those up, we took the dress outside and got to take some adorable photos of their daughters in the dress just before Anna got into the dress as well. As soon as she was in her dress, we got their boys mic’d up and in place for a first look with Anna and honestly the boys are just hilarious in general and their reactions were funny but they still had a loving moment too which then transitioned straight into the next first look with her Step Dad and Brother. It was super sweet and they all shared some great hugs and that was bringing us close to ceremony time but we had one more thing to do which was their first touch right before for them to just hear each other’s voices and say how excited they were. The ceremony started with everyone being driven down the hill on a trailer attached to the back of a truck and once they hopped off the back and formed a line, everyone made their way down the aisle with a few stars of the show being all of the kids and then their flower man/beer passer outer guy. During the ceremony the whole family came up to complete a unity puzzle and they also exchanged some beautiful and personally written vows. After they said their I-do’s and sealed the deal with a kiss. They walked back up the aisle together as the Joyner’s and as they started taking the chairs up to the reception tent, we transitioned into family and wedding party photos leading into their couple’s portraits which fell into Golden Hour perfectly for some gorgeous sunset light.

As everyone prepared to enter into the reception tent, they all planned out what to do. Once they began entering, they all danced or did something as a fun gesture which the finale was Matt and Anna entering in with a twirl into their first dance. That sweet dance was then followed by Anna and her Step Dad sharing a dance and then Matt and his Mom as well. Everyone then went to get some delicious tacos for dinner. As the night rolled around more and the open dance floor was filled, it began turning more and more into a hilarious and fun party for everyone. At one point they took a break and made their way inside to cut the cake and even shared some with their youngest Blakeleigh. From there, it was even more open dance floor, bouquet and garter tosses then the last big formal event was toasts. They had a few that were planned toasts and then a few that weren’t and it’s easily to tell that everyone loves and cherishes the Joyner family so much. They ranged from everyone crying to everyone belly laughing so, I can only imagine how those will turn out for the wedding videos later. We ended our night with them at the sparkler exit by the front porch and streamed lights which worked out perfectly. We love this family and are excited for their future and seeing the kiddos growing up over the years to come!

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.
