Christine & Jason's {Breathtaking} Savannah Wedding

I am beyond excited to share this post with you for so many reasons, but the biggest is that below there is soooooo much more beautiful details of Christine and Jason's gorgeous Savannah wedding!!!
Set in Monroe Square, the weather could not have been more perfect! The trees formed a delicate canopy over the ceremony as Jason's father led them in their vows. The unity sand ceremony uniquely took place mid ceremony which displayed such a precious moment for the parents that clearly communicated Christine and Jason's love and respect for them. With a coin from Ireland and her grandmother's memorial cross pinned to her bouquet it was certainly more than good Irish luck that has blessed this special day for this sweet, sweet couple!

Complete with a horse drawn carriage, the newlyweds made their way through the historic streets to an equally historic local favorite, Vic's on the River. Guests also enjoyed the scenic route to the reception and arrived by trolley. With no southern detail overlooked the stage was set as the beaming couple took to the dance floor amidst cheering applause from their friends and family who had all traveled in for their very special destination wedding!

The rustic yet extremely elegant setting of Vic's and the beautiful views of the bay continued the tone of simple southern romance. And if that was not enough the soft buttery biscuits with orange marmalade, shrimp and grits, soulful live acoustics and song reeled you right into the old south (and kept you there!)


Following the reception, a string of sun-laced bubbles led way to an awaiting rickshaw complete with a top hat driver to carry them on to one of Savannah's most romantic bed and breakfasts, The Gastonian.



After a delicious private reception at the Inn, we explored the surrounding gardens and then happily left the new Mr. and Mrs. to officially begin their honeymoon :)

Congratulations Christine & Jason!!!

Sneak Peek: Amy + Paul

Do you know what one of the BEST things about Chicago is?????
Amy and Paul!

These two are absolutely adorable and soooo in love. From the time I walked into the suite where Amy was getting ready to the final dance, Amy had a smile on her face from ear to ear. Here's a little preview of their wonderful day...The city views of Chicago are beautiful...but very few get to experience scenic views like this from the marina- and being able to escape the crowds and enjoy a private rooftop getaway made it even more special for Amy and Paul :)

Sneak Peek: Annie + Philip

For Annie and Philip's Sneak Peek I just could not help but share the first dance images.

This was one of the most romantic first dances I have had the pleasure of witnessing. They where elegant, smooth...almost dreamy- like Cinderella dancing with Prince Charming :)
I hope you enjoy and much more to come soon of Annie and Philip's beautiful wedding!

Real Weddings: Bethany + Matt {continued}

Now to pick up where we left off...

Matt had met the lovely Bethany at the end of the boardwalk to escort her down the aisle. The day was perfect; crisp blue sky, cool ocean breeze...the setting was absolutely stunning as they exchanged vows and rings surrounded by friends, family and a few onlookers that got an added bonus along with their day at the beach...The Kiss...probably everyone's favorite part of every ceremony- the commitments have been made, the stress is over and the couple now begins their lives together with a sweet gentle kiss (awwwww...so romantic!)After the ceremony the wedding party and guests headed up to One Ocean Resortwhere Bethany and Matt greeted family and friends- plenty of hugs, kisses and admirers of Bethany's beautiful ring to go around.After traditional formals, we took the time to take some fun shots that really represented everyone's personality and joy of the day.Once in the ballroom for the reception, guests where greeted with personalized starfish placecards at their seats. I was so excited- There was one for me, too (Thank you Bethany + Matt, Hudson LOVES the starfish!).I was also excited to be sitting with Matt's parents, sister and this little cutie pie :)Bethany did such a great job with all the beautiful details surrounding their wedding...And perhaps my favorite detail of all was the cake topper- I honestly had to look at it a few seconds and really process it and then just rolled in laughter- How cute is that!!!

Bethany and Matt, thank you so very much for inviting me to be part of all your special details and most of all for being such a great couple- your love for one another is precious and reflects the love and support you have all around you from family and friends. Congratulations and we wish you all the best! XOXO
