Katherine, Gus and I had quite possibly the most gorgeous fall day to shoot at Lullwater Park… a place near and dear to their heart. They both spent quite a bit of time there since Katherine was a student at Emory; they showed me a beautiful park I’d yet to discover in Atlanta. It’s quite a hidden gem.

I literally met Natalie and Conar the moment they opened the doors to their own rehearsal dinner… and I’ve never felt so warmly welcomed! We had talked many times before on the phone before the actual day arrived, but finally meeting was like being greeted by a long lost friend.

Natalie and Conar were married in the town Natalie grew up in — Gallatin, Tennesse — and it had the best small town charm, just like you’d expect. They had quite honestly one of the most gorgeous fall days you could ask for, and filled the tiny downtown chapel at dusk with their dearest friends and family. One of my favorite moments of the day was getting to witness Conar open up the gift his bride gave him moments before their first look… a set of embroidered handkerchiefs. That sweet token, along with a handwritten note made all of us stop and simply take it all all in.

After all the “big” things have been planned on a wedding day, I always find that it’s usually about the love in the little things that become so very meaningful…

The stunning Meghan and Craig, shot on quite possibly the brightest and windiest, most perfect day in Dahlonega. We also took a quick jaunt over to Montaluce vineyards, one of my hubby and mine’s most favorite weekend places to waste a perfectly good afternoon…
