Second shooting with Elicia has come & gone from my bucket list.
If you had asked me when I was getting married if I ever thought I’d be tagging along with my wedding photographer (well, sort of…its a great story), I would have probably laughed in your face! Being on the other side of the camera is definitely so much fun for me always, but especially when I get to learn from one of the absolute best. I am so thrilled to unveil these images I captured on this magical day. Evan & Wendy were so silly together & their energy was definitely contagious. They were truly a really fun duo to work with.
The whole day was a whirlwind, of course, & it reminded me of all the reasons I do what I do. The mixing of cultures, the gathering of friends, the combining of families. All of the little elements that go into the big day.
My favorite spot of the evening was atop the wedding venue on a very dangerous ledge overlooking the city.
Big thank you to Elicia the Great for inviting me along, & to Evan + Wendy for being the coolest.
The small touches make a wedding to me. I know there are just so many brains, hands, & hearts behind all these decisions. I absolutely adored Wendy’s parent’s home, where this photo was taken. We just pulled the piano bench to the door & shot the details, but this photo seems so styled to me. Love the simplicity of it all.
Sweet little flower girls & their amazement at their bride.
…That light though.
All the girls giggling as Wendy’s mom cracked jokes & helped the events of the day stay focused on what matters: love.
Wendy’s dress was a gorgeous vintage gown that fit her so perfectly. The style of the dress fit the venue, too, which is always such a nice little touch.
Just headed back down to the party & had to stop for the last bit of sun setting over the Atlanta skyline.
Loved these simple moments. Elicia asked for us to be left alone up here at “blue hour” so the two folks of the hour could really decompress a bit & let their guards down in front of the camera. Those little tricks of the trade will always stay with me.
Sweet solitude away from the party. Wendy knew she needed to soak it all in. So she did.
