Beth & John Classic Southern Alabama Destination Wedding at Water Oak Manor in Auburn

This wedding was a dream to be a part of! Beth and John celebrated their day in beautiful and tranquil Auburn Alabama in a classic and gorgeous southern home, the Water Oak Manor with all of their friends and family some who had come from all corners of the world! 

It was a pleasure to see how they cared for their guests and made sure they had the best time! Ice Cream was served on that hot afternoon, flavors custom named after them. There was a giant table of charcuterie that was both delicious and necessary to ensure optimum dance energy! And their band was a major highlight as  they guided the guests through an array of party anthems and classics! 

Alabama, you were a treat! Beth and John, I wish you all the success in your new home in Switzerland!

Atlanta Elopement at Piedmont Park with Elizabeth and Adam!

When an old friend called to say he's getting engaged and therefore eloping and they wanted me to photograph their special day... well let's just say I was over the moon. Flattered. But mostly excited to get the chance to do this for them. 

And can you blame me? They're gorgeous. 

The ceremony was short but beautiful and Elizabeth got emotional a few times. Nothing is more sweet than a few happy tears during the vows. I even got emotional! 

Then we got play around Piedmont park with the Midtown skyline in the background with the sunset blanketing the sky. It was just to pretty for words. Go take a peek below! 

By the way, take a look at that stunning engagement ring! I mean, seriously gorgeous!

MARRIED! JEN & GEOFF

{CHATEAU ELAN WINERY AND RESORT, BRASELTON, GA} {ATLANTA & DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER}

I love weddings in the Fall here in Georgia and this one was one to go gaga over! Geoff and Jenn picked the most romantic of locations for their backdrop on their special day and nothing, not even the haze that permeated the north Georgia mountains from the wildfires would put a damper on this day. 

We might not have an epic sunset, but we got a gorgeous couple and a stunning location! We were super excited to explore the grounds and the indoors to find stunning locations for images that were borderline editorial, something you'd see in magazines, something not so traditional! Jenn was excited to get creative with us as we photographed them to rival movie stars! 

Thank you to Chateau Elan for its hospitality and help in making these images! And congrats to the happy couple! It was a true joy to photograph your wedding!

nothing more beautiful for a wedding than Fall in Georgia! Especially in north georgia!
