Bridal Portraits: the bride in silhouette in the arched window, at her wedding at Ashton Gardens in Duluth, GA

We love nothing more than being part of families’ love stories. Two years ago this month we photographed Piper’s wedding, this bride’s sister. It means the world to us that couples not only recommend us to their friends but also their family. We want to feel like we are part of your family just as much as you are part of ours. Getting to photograph this huge part of your story is why we love doing what we do.

Lauren and Parker chose one of the most classic and glamorous wedding venues in Atlanta, Ashton Gardens. It’s charming chapel is iconic and so romantic for couples to exchange their wedding vows. But the romantic vibes don’t stop with the chapel but carry through into their reception space that is clean, bright, with a sweeping staircase for your grand entrance. We love Lauren and Parker’s sweet nature and fun side that was evident in the way they partied with their friends, their excitement for their big day, and how they goofed off with their bridal party. I mean, can these two be any more in love? Check out their details, moments and fun below! From their classic gold and white wedding details, to the beautiful blush , white and cranberry florals, and that stunning Ashton Gardens chapel, this wedding was dreamy and oh so delightful!Getting Ready: makeup brushes laid out, in black and white, before their wedding at Ashton Gardens Atlanta in Sugar Hill, GA
