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.

Trinity & Shayla

 

This beautiful wedding day took place at Victory North in Savannah, GA and had almost everything you can think of. Friends, family, dogs, kids, roller skating, tears, laughter, stories of a broken arm just before the wedding and a beautiful love story being celebrated through all of it.

The wedding day started with the three of us (Jordan, Morgan and Tom) showing up and looking around the venue then splitting up to cover the guys getting ready, venue space and details while the girls were finishing up bits of makeup to then cover the last touches of makeup. Once they were finished, Shayla got into her dress and we started doing the last few touches with her Mom and a few of her girls to button up the dress and put in the veil just before setting up the first touch with her and Trint. They held hands and shared some beautiful words with each other around the corner as well as a few jokes which sent us all off happily to prepare for the ceremony. It was a very hot Summer day so a lot of the guests sat under the tree shade then sat down as it started. The ceremony was full of tears of joy as they walked down the aisle even with both their son as the ring security followed by a well dressed flower guy preparing the way for the Bride. Trinity shed a few tears as he got to see the woman he will spend the rest of his life with for the first time that day. Her Uncle handed her off and then they proceeded to share vows to each other as well as Shayla to Trinity’s son which I am pretty sure made everyone cry. As they finished their vows, they sealed it with a kiss and left as husband and wife. We then transitioned into family formals, wedding party and then their couples portraits.

Now it was time for the party to start at the reception as they entered into their first dance, Uncle and Niece dance, Mother and Daughter and then Mother and Son dances which kicked off the reception. Later they also cut their beautiful cake on the stage which kicked off the night full of dancing which is where eventually the roller skates and their dog came out on the dance floor. One of the most beautiful parts was when everyone gathered in a circle near the bar for toasts and passed around the mic and it was ended by their little boy giving one of the most beautiful toasts and no one wanted to try to follow that. The night ended full of music, dancing, conversing and drinking with all of their closest friends and family which was the perfect end to a beautiful day.

Nathan & Courtney

 

Who says you can’t find true love in Mcdonalds? That’s exactly what happened here when they both were working there and then fast forward to a beautiful proposal where Hilton Head was the setting which led us all the way to this gorgeous wedding day years later at Perry’s Landing in Hephzibah, GA.

The wedding day itself was full of jokes, tik-tok filming, tears, cats and pure joy. It started with details and filming some of the earlier parts of their tik-toks and then it led into popping champagne for the girls. The guys were just down the road and as they finished getting ready, Nathan got to open up his watch and hand out a few groomsmen gifts as well. When we finished some of their group photos, we then made our way to the venue since the girls were finishing up getting ready and it was time to setup for the first look. First, Courtney and her Father shared a sweet first look and he had an amazing reaction. It’s clear to tell that he’s a fun Dad but also really loves his little girl and then that led into a quick move of the mic over to Nathan to get him into place as well. Their first look was super sweet and full of smiles which then also allowed for the rest of the wedding party to come on over for some group photos as well just before hiding away to start the ceremony.

The ceremony itself was just gorgeous and we loved that they were able to incorporate their cats as “flower cats” pushed by the flower girl down the aisle in a stroller. After they said their vows (which we loved and are excited for the film later on), they sealed the deal with a kiss and walked out together as Mr. and Mrs. Hooker. As the vibrant sunlight bathes the newlyweds and their entourage, we then got to highlight the elegance and grace of the bridal party, family and of course, the Bride and Groom. With glowing smiles and enchanting poses, the couple's journey unfolds seamlessly from the formal photos to the grand entrance of the reception. They started their first dance and watching them joyfully glide across the dance floor was a sight to behold. The magic doesn't end there; the father and daughter dance follows suit. Embraced in an emotional embrace, they transcend time, exchanging whispers and heartfelt expressions. Teary-eyed and proud, the mother and son take to the floor, the music guiding their delicate movements. That was then followed by dinner being served, the cake being cut and some absolutely delightful toasts. The night ended in the light of sparklers giving way to the newlyweds walking out together surrounded by cheers of their loved ones. We are so excited about the future of the Hooker family and cannot wait to see what their adventure together holds.

Max & Kaitlyn

 

We originally met Max and Kaitlyn almost a year ago last July and learned all about their interests like Disney, fixing things, rock music and also how he had a sweet setup in their back yard with a Teepee and some of their favorite food and champagne as a beautiful moment to propose to her. We also did a gorgeous engagement session at the Christmas Tree farm which you can see here. This all led to this beautiful wedding day at Windsor Manor in Augusta, GA.

On a picturesque Spring day in Augusta, GA, the elegant Windsor Manor played host to a wedding that embodied pure enchantment in celebration of Max & Kaitlyn. As guests arrived, the charming venue greeted them with its sprawling green gardens, adorned with vibrant flowers that mirrored the love filling the air. The ceremony took place in a quaint courtyard, where a dazzling white gazebo stood as the altar. Soft rays of sunlight filtered through the trees, casting a gentle glow upon the couple as they exchanged vows. That was then followed by a beautiful reception full of dancing, cake, toasts and so much more.
