Well this one is close to our hearts as we’ve been friends with Austin and Emily for years. We’ve seen them go through a ton of loss and hardship and yet come out on the other side super strong and smiling together, seen a ton of wins in their life and more than anything, their lives together are marked by their amazing sense of humor and ability to laugh and have fun all the time. That being said, the fact that this has been a dream wedding for Emily since she was a little girl having passed by the Tate House wedding venue for years and seeing how it all came together was absolutely gorgeous and we are so honored to have been able to be a part of telling their story and capturing this amazing wedding day.

The day started off with us meeting with the DJ briefly and wedding coordinator Sandra from the Tate House to tour the space a little bit which led right into us saying hey to Emily and her girls as they were getting ready and bringing everything in. We then photographed the details and just knew we wanted to take the dress into the mansion to do something with the stairs there as well as doing some flat lay details. Once we finished that, we prepared for a few first looks with the Bride’s Father and all of the Groomsmen as well. You can see in the photos some great reactions and just how much everyone loves each other in this tight knit group. We then did a few bridal portraits inside before splitting up for me to get photos with the guys praying over Austin while Morgan did photos with the Bridesmaids. What came next was such a beautiful moment where they privately shared vows at the first touch and Morgan and I had to hold back some tears ourselves. That moment led straight into getting ready for the ceremony which the beautiful all white and bright ceremony space with the pops of color from flowers was absolutely gorgeous. During the ceremony, everyone came out to epic music that then switched to beauty when the Bride came down the aisle with her father. They exchanged vows guided by their friend who was their officiant as well as one of their groomsmen. Surrounded by their friends and family, they were announced as Mr. and Mrs. Dockery and shared a kiss.

Post ceremony, we completed all of the family photos then made our way out to the front of the mansion to do full wedding party photos. Once we had finished those, we got to walk around with the newlyweds for a bit on the grounds of the Tate House where we could have walked around for hours and had a blast. Before long, it was time to get them into the reception where they were announced and greeted by a room full of cheering loved ones. The reception started with their beautiful first dance followed by the Father and Daughter dance then Mother and Son with one last one being the Mother and Daughter dance. The dance floor then opened up for a while then we came to the cake cutting followed by an absolutely beautiful toast by Emily’s Mom. The rest of the night was characterized by a bunch of their friends dancing and having a great time but then the night ended with the sparkler send off to their stylish getaway vehicle. We already know that this is just the beginning for their amazing story to continue and we cannot wait to see what the future holds for the Dockerys!

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!

Jeffrey & Sarah

We cannot say enough about how sweet this couple is and how much a fun last wedding for 2022 this was. We left the wedding wanting to be best friends with Jeffrey and Sarah and blessed by the fact that Sarah prayed over us before we left by the fire which is probably the best way to end a year of weddings possible. Besides the couple themselves, the wedding day itself even was beautiful and flowed perfectly with the infamous Pine Knoll Farms as the backdrop which is always great and full of amazing photo opportunities.

The day itself started with saying hey and introducing Bella to Sarah since she was standing in for Morgan and they matched vibes so perfectly and then we quickly made our way downstairs with the details to photograph those and all of the venue photo and video that we needed. At the same time, our third shooter Tom was also with the guys while they were getting ready. As everyone finished getting ready, we were doing group photos with the guys and then I left to setup the first look with Sarah’s Dad. It was such a sweet moment and we could tell that he has a super kind heart as well which passed down into the family but, it seemed like he was even surprised when he lost it a little and cried when he turned so it made for such an authentic and beautiful moment. From here, we made our way to setup everything at the ceremony and mic Jeffrey up.

Once everyone lined up at the ceremony, they all made their way down the aisle and Jeffrey was super nervous but holding it together super well and you could see it all change right when he saw his Bride for the first time. It was a perfect moment of seeing their love for each other breaking through any nerves and how comforting they are for each other. During the ceremony, they exchanged vows and rings as well as lighting a unity candle even though it was a bit windy and then it ended with their kiss to finish the deal. They walked up the aisle as Husband and Wife and rang the bell at the back of the chapel before walking around to the side of the chapel to while we got everyone together for the family photos. Once we did all of the family photos and full wedding party photos, we then walked around with the newly weds a bit and had some fun making jokes as well as getting absolutely gorgeous photos and video before making our way to the reception area as well where we sent for a golf cart and change of shoes for them so they could go straight into the reception ready to go.

At the reception, everyone entered in with pretty funny dances or moves including Jeffrey and Sarah who came running in together and then we started a photo dash (not pictured because I really couldn’t pick one or two so, look for those when we send the full set of photos to the newlyweds). Just in case you’re not aware of what that is, it’s where the DJ gets a song ready and the couple dashes to take a photo with everyone at each table quickly and the goal is for everyone to be ready at the table with a pose or at least a spot for the couple to hop into and it’s somewhat of an interactive game but, also just a great way to be sure you get photos with everyone else quickly before everyone is moving a ton. After the dash, everyone ate and then we did toasts which I believe we ended up with 4 toasts total and some made us cry, some made us laugh from goofy childhood stories and some were sweet and pulled at the heart strings with childhood stories from a Dad’s perspective as well and we loved them all. After the toasts, we then went to cut the cakes (one was nothing bundt cakes and the other was made by the Bride for the Groom). They also read off some different vows to each other which I absolutely cannot wait to see how that works out for the highlight film because the vows were so good in so many ways and then that transitioned later into the dances and opening of the dance floor. The night featured so many good songs with a wide variety of range but pictured in the first few photos, you can see the YMCA and Chicken Dance as some great warm ups. Before long, we were entering party mode and took a small break for the bouquet and garter tosses before hopping right back into party mode where everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Time flew by and before we knew it, it was time for everyone to get ready for the bubble exit and for Jeffrey and Sarah to do their last dance where everyone could see from outside but they had the whole room to themselves (besides us technically). They then did their bubble exit with everyone and it was actually a fake exit so, they made their way back into the reception for a little bit more dancing and food. As I mentioned before, the night actually ended with us being prayed over by Sarah and talking about how happy she was and it really is just one of the best types of moments ever and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to end our year. Here’s to the Blakely’s and their amazing future as well as an absolutely great 2023 ahead of all of us!

Hunter & Kaitlin, as well as their families, first and foremost have such kind souls and we absolutely loved this wedding day as well as the Bridal Session about a month ago which proved to be very fruitful in beautiful images and was also just a lot of fun with her Mom and MOH. That laid some of the groundwork for the wedding day to where everything just clicked felt way better than it would have without a previous session. The wedding day itself took place at the beautiful Pine Knoll Farms in Appling, GA on a mostly beautiful Fall weather day besides just a little bit of rain here and there but nothing interfering with the happenings of the day.

When we showed up, we got to say hey to the girls and gather details as well as introduce Bella as well who is on our team and was standing in place of Morgan since our due date for Levi was coming up soon (it actually ended up being just a few days later so that was a good call). Once we finished photographing all of the details in the newly added area downstairs from the Bridal Sweet that used to just be an open air porch and now has become a closed in room with some beautiful finishings, we did a few photos of the girls in their robes before I split off to go say hey to the guys while Bella stayed with the girls. The guys were a great group with a good sense humor and Hunter is super easy going so we got everything done pretty quickly besides getting the boutonnieres brought on a golf cart so we could get them all pinned. Then Once everyone was pinned, we made our way outside and did all the group photos for the guys as well as a few solo shots of Hunter right as it started to rain a little bit so we split off and I made my way back to the other side with the girls to start setting up first looks with her Dad, Step Dad and Brother which were all so sweet. We may or may not have shed some tears of our own with her little Brother’s reaction. From there, we also did an unexpected first look with her Grandparents which was super sweet and you could see how much they love Kaitlin.

Before long, it was ceremony time so we made our way over to get ready and take photos of the guests coming in as well. Hunter held it together pretty well, there may have been a little bit of eye watering but mostly just super joyful when he saw his Bride coming down the aisle. Once they had said their I do’s led by an Uncle who did a fantastic job, they sealed it with a kiss and made their way up the aisle as the Huttos and rang the bell. Once everyone was out, it was then time to do family photos which we started to do outside but then it rained a little bit so we had to move everyone inside unexpectedly (weather forecast lied) but it worked out well anyways so people could sit some too. We then got did all of the group photos and dismissed everyone to do some couple’s photos and then actually finished ahead of time and made our way to the reception. Bella and I then ran into the reception to get settings and lights setup really quick and they came right into the reception with the cheers of all of their loved ones. Once they were in, they did their first dance, the Father-Daughter and Mother-Son dances and basically a bunch of people cried so it was all super sweet and then the dance floor opened up for a while. Throughout the night they also did some beautiful toasts, the shoe game but with a twist where guests had to guess who they thought before the couple lifted their shoe, cut the cake, threw the bouquet and garter then ended the festivities of the night with a sparkler exit which turned out perfectly. We seriously loved being a part of this couple’s story and big day! They are already doing amazing things but, we’re excited to see what this power couple’s future holds!
