Oliver & Ansley


 

These two are so joyful and sweet. It was an absolute pleasure being a part of their special day!

We arrived early in the day to greet Ansley as she was getting her hair and makeup done. She had gifted all her bridesmaids with matching pajamas and robes and they were all strutting around happily, drinks in hand with beautifully quaffed hair and elegant makeup ready to go. We took all of the details outside to the front porch and played around with different ideas for flatlays. She had so many sweet and sentimental details, from her something blue to the something borrowed, they all had a special meaning to her. As we finished up with details and venue photos, we went back inside and all split up to cover the guys, more details and girls getting ready. As we photographed the girls in their robes together, the guys were getting their boutonnieres pinned on to do their group photos. Once we had all of the photos of the wedding party, the sweet father daughter first look followed by the bride and groom’s first look, we went on an adventure with the couple around the property to take beautiful romantic photos! There are so many acers that we hopped on a golf cart to get down to a few different spots, almost throwing Tom, our third shooter off the cart along the way. (We were all a little excited about these beautiful pictures… and Tom is fine by the way!). Once we had finished all of those shots, we got set up for the ceremony, which included a live stream. Everything went off without a hitch, and Oliver and Ansley finally got to say “I do”!

There is a southern tradition of burying a bottle of bourbon upside down at your wedding site exactly a month before your wedding, and it’s suppose to ward off bad weather. I’m not going to say it works… but every couple of ours that has done this has had beautiful weather on their wedding day, and what a fun thing to share with your wedding party after the ceremony.

Oliver and Ansley then took a few minutes to themselves before being introduced and going into their first dance. Their band was absolutely wonderful and made us want to dance right along with them. Family and friends spent the rest of the night dancing and having a good time celebrating the union of these two sweet people.

We want to wish all the happiness and blessing to the happy couple for all the years to come and feel so privileged to have been a part of it.
