“Just capture our love for each other! How happy we are to be married.” That’s all Sarah + Nolan asked of us, and it was the easiest request we’ve ever had. These two could not stop smiling. They got married in the little chapel at Simpsonwood Park in Peachtree Corners and celebrated afterward at a family home.
“Small wedding, big day!” Daphne + Darrius had a micro wedding at the Historic DeKalb Courthouse, right on the square in Decatur. Just their closest family and friends, a guitarist in the corner and one of the prettiest rooms in metro Atlanta. The courthouse was built in 1918 and it’s on the National Register of Historic Places.
“Hooray, hooray, it’s Austin’s big day!” That’s what the sign said, and it was right. Austin + Payton got married at The Wildflower 301 in Greensboro, about an hour east of Atlanta near Lake Oconee. It was a spring day full of purple flowers, dusty blue dresses and a few surprises we didn’t see coming (more on
“Two writers, one love story.” Morgan + Justin are both writers, so it was no surprise that their wedding was full of words and little details that told their story. They got married on September 4, 2022, at Terminus 330 in downtown Atlanta, and we had the best time with these two. Terminus 330 was built in

“I chose my venue because of all the greenery and flowers around the venue as well as the space inside. It has a good space for dancing.” That’s how Helen described picking the Payne-Corley House in Duluth, and she was right on both counts. The gardens were in full bloom, and by the end of the night
“We are wanting something memorable and fun, but not over the top. Our goal for the pictures is to be really great memories for us to have of our time with our family.” That’s what Anna + Austin told us when they booked, and it’s exactly the kind of day they had at the Omni Hotel at
“What a day for these two!” Carol + Brenyer got married last November, with a Wedding Mass at St. Lawrence Catholic Church and a reception at 550 Trackside in Lawrenceville. It was a fall wedding full of sunflowers and burgundy, and we loved every minute of it! Getting Ready Carol got ready at 550 Trackside with her
Summerour Studio doesn’t need much help. Eight thousand square feet of old Westside warehouse, a barrel-vault ceiling carried on steel bow trusses, and a hand-carved staircase that looks like it wandered in from Florence. Katie and Ken filled all of it with lavender. Their October wedding was soft color and very little fuss — periwinkle invitations, peach
Your ceremony is over, the toasts have been made, and the dance floor is warming up. Outside, the sky is doing something miraculous — bleeding amber and rose and deep violet above the horizon. Most couples don’t even notice. They’re inside, and those 20 minutes are gone forever.
