Lauren and Derek got married in the beautiful day chapel, then walked over to the conservatory to have their reception.  These people certainly knew how to dance!  When Willow Smith’s whip my hair came on, I thought we may get whipped in the face!  Such a great time.  Thanks to Lauren Necko and Melissa Williamson for lending their talent!

The couple chose to make a nod to the fourth of July!Lauren’s bouquet was absolutely beautiful.  Love all the purple… hint hint…
A first look
Love this shot by Melissa Williamson.  I can feel the warmth from that hug!Hello beautiful brown eyed girl!Some fun with the guys and girlsI will never get tired of shooting in this beautiful building.  One of my favorites for sure!Love this!  Hadn’t seen it in a while, but this couple was delegated to walk around and take polariods of the guests.  Then the guests signed it and hung it up on a tree!  So cool!Whip that hair girlfriend

Also, thanks to Shayla for my little congrats in her speech at the wedding!  You are too sweet!
I love this detailThere is that smile and laugh!  Shayla was BEAMING!Greenest grass ever…Grandma was a hoot!I love the carvings at the chapel.  Absolutely amazing!I love theseThese two were the class clowns of the day.  Kept us on our toes!These people broke it down!Yes, lots of kissing pictures, I know… but they wouldn’t stop!

We had such a beautiful perfect day to walk around campus and downtown Athens.  I hope spring is here to stay! (even if it is a bit early…)
Such adorable laughs!

Congrats you guys!  I hope the move goes fantastically and London treats you well!

Gardenia's work is always beautiful.

Jessica made her jewelry

August heat makes the rings a little harder to put on...

I love a black and white checkered dance floor!

Had to take advantage of blue sky time for a second...

LIMBO!The Dickens kept the party going on all night long.  One of the best wedding bands I’ve seen…

Jessica & Garth did their fair share of partying...

It was this hot outside...

Garth got onstage and helped the band show how it's done...

We're not worthy!

This wedding was SO MUCH FUN!  Can you feel it?  Many congrats to you guys!  I hope you party on through your life together as husband and wife!  Big thanks to my buddy Curtis for helping out!  Now onto the third wedding for my August weekend of fun!

I LOVE Leigh's shoes!

Hello gorgeous!

Brad chilling out

such beautiful light on a beautiful gal!


Brad's not so bad himself ;)

The team from Moss Floral Design did an awesome job!  I love these unique flowers that lined the aisle.

This was a first for me, they had HOME MADE PRALINES at the wedding! YUM!

Leigh and Brad, thank you SO much for inviting me to be a part of your big special day!  It was truly a blessing getting to know you guys!  Thanks to Curtis Baker for helping me capture these special memories!

Let's get married!

Is she gorgeous or what?


I really enjoyed listening to the minister at this wedding. He was incredible, and had a history with the couple. It's always nice to have that personal touch to the ceremony.

just in case you didn't get the memo, they love UGA so much that HAIRY DAWG came to the wedding!

The DJ for Ambience really kept the party going with their tunes!

Getting down with the dawg

After their exit from the house, we went into downtown to take some moody night time Athens shots

Carrie surprised Patrick by staying in the "UGA suite" at the Conference Center. This is where UGA stays his nights on game days ;)

Carrie and Patrick, we had SO MUCH FUN spending time with you on your wedding day, and engagement session.  You guys are an amazing couple and I wish you all the best life has to offer!  Thanks again to my super amazing friend Cathi Milanes for helping out on this one!
