THE CHAPEL | ATHENS, GEORGIA | WEDDING DAY

Wowwwwwww!!!!! Can I please put this wedding day on repeat forever?! What a dream wedding!! Not only did I have the sweetest couple you’ve ever met, but I also had the DREAM TEAM of vendors (check out the bottom for the list so you can hire them!!) This beautiful day took place at The Chapel in Downtown Athens, Georgia – a stunning venue with the perfect clean, white backdrops for my light and airy photo dream come true!!! A BIG SHOUTOUT to my girl, Elsa with Bustle Brides wedding planning – we go way back even before we were in the wedding industry together, and she truly made this day the easiest day!!! The moment she walked in the door the bride and her ladies cheered for Elsa because she is seriously the DREAM PLANNER!! (This is my shameless plug telling you to hire her right now)

We started off the day with getting ready and details!

Grace is seriously the HAPPIEST bride I’ve ever met – she was seriously having the BEST day ever!!

Her first look with her bridesmaids was adorable!

First look with dad was so sweet!! She took his breath away!

We headed out to the First Look spot – a cozy little secluded spot with the perfect amount of shade so they could see each other without interruptions.

They are so cute! I loved these!

I love love love their wedding party!! Such a fun group!

Her bridesmaids dresses are my FAVORITEEEE!!! I’m obsessed!!!!!

It’s ceremony time!

They’re MARRIED!

I also LOVED their sweet family!! It was nearly impossible to just choose a couple to represent these important people in their lives, but they’re going to have A LOT to choose from in the final gallery 🙂

Cocktail hour in the front of The Chapel is always the best ambience! I love it!

**SPOILER ALERT** !! The bride and groom got a little surprise during their cocktail hour!! If timing works out on wedding days, I love surprising my couples with a few previews the DAY OF the wedding!!!! I think this one was a win?!?!

Their reception space looked STUNNING!!! Check out the vendor list to book the team that created this!!

Their dances were so sweet!

And now my favorite time of the day.. sunset portraits!! Grace and Drew, like many of my couples, chose to end their coverage with their sunset portraits as their last big portraits of the day! This allowed us to have more time on the front end of the day for all those special moments!!

A big shout out to videographer Quinton VanHoozer, if you know me you know I very very rarely recommend videographers unless I absolutely know we can work well together because they can make or break the photography experience. This was my third time working with him and he’s always been amazing to work with especially with all these movement poses during sunset portraits!!! (Another shameless plug telling you to hire him!! I did say we had the DREAM TEAM!)
