Featured: Style Me Pretty Georgia - Chris + Victoria's Wedding
So, SO ecstatic for Victoria & Chris's American wedding to be featured on the Style Me Pretty Georgia today. What an honor! Please go leave the couple some love at the full post HERE! :)))
VICTORIA + BEN - Castle Ladyhawke Wedding
I am terrified of birds. T.E.R.R.I.F.I.E.D. I'm not sure how this fear originated. How did I survive this wedding, then? I think it was because Ben and Toria were SO sweet and fun to photograph that I momentarily forgot about the birds and clicked my little heart out. ; )
Victoria and Ben were married in early November at Castle Ladyhawke, a gorgeous venue tucked away in the mountains of North Carolina. It was truly a magical event. The details were awesome: a LEGO-inspired castle cake, a rockin' invitation suite and fresh blueberries in Victoria's bouquet, to name a few. And moments that I remember as extra special were the couple's SUPER sweet first look and a HAWK delivering the rings to the ceremony. Insane(LY amazing!).

Toria & Ben, thank you for having me on your special day. I'll truly never forget photographing your wedding... maybe you've cured me of my aversion to birds. : ) And thanks to Tye Harris for second shooting for me -- always a pleasure!
Love this photo!

Hawk ring bearer WHAT?!
Sister love!
Loved that the couple watered a Bonsai tree during their ceremony.
Gangnam Style. Enough said.
VICTORIA + CHRIS - Cator Woolford Gardens Wedding - Part II of II
Look at these cool cats.
Victoria & Chris had an American wedding at the Cator Woolford Gardens the day after their Greek Orthodox ceremony. The Gardens are a part of the Frazer Center, tucked away just minutes from the heartbeat of Atlanta. I REALLY love this place! The best part (even more so than its beauty!) is that the Gardens' proceeds go directly to support the programs for children and adults at the Frazer Center. Genius, really.

I could really go on and on and ON about how much I loved shooting this wedding. The DIY details were breathtaking -- Victoria put a lot of hard work into creating such beautiful centerpieces and tablescapes, and everything looked amazing! The sunglasses = ROCKED IT OUT, y'all. The couple's dog, Annie, was there (always LOVE when a furry friend joins in the festivities!). The popsicles...OHHH, the popsicles!!!! King of Pops is definitely a new local favorite. : ) And the little flower girl and ring bearer were just giving me cuteness OVERLOAD. I'll let the images speak for the rest of my excitement. Congrats, Vic & Chris!
And thanks so much to Melissa Prosser Photography for teaming up with me on this one!
The invites were so well done!
We dealt with some rain here and there but nothing could put a damper on this crowd!
Told ya the flower girl was adorable! This is her "putting on makeup." ; )
The ring bearer stole my heart.
Hello, stud.
Hello, gorgeous.
Loved the groomsmen attire! So hip.
Such a sweet first look!
Love it.
ANNIE!
HOW cute are they?! I mean, COME ON.
Love this sweet moment between Victoria and her dad.
Love this shot of Victoria's godfather. : )
VICTORIA + CHRIS - Greek Orthodox Cathedral Wedding - Part I of II
Victoria & Chris were married in Atlanta at the end of September. They were surrounded by family and close friends for their traditional Greek ceremony at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation the night before their wedding day at Cator Woolford Gardens (more to come next week!). The cathedral was a gorgeous backdrop for a touching ceremony. It was a pleasure to be with them on this special day -- check out some of my favorites. Happy weekend, y'all! : )
Married! Isn't that ceiling awesome?!
