I was connected with Mickey through a former wedding client, Margaret Reynolds, who works at Mickey’s studio. Mickey recently created an eco-friendly jewelry line exclusively for sororities and was in search of lifestyle promotional material. I was both honored and excited by Margaret’s referral. I really didn’t know what all was going down for the shoot or what to expect.
I met Mickey and her partner Seth for the first time the day of the shoot– they are so awesome and were such a pleasure to work with. They recruited five sorority girls from Georgia State to help out as models and they did a great job. They were able to take direction and look natural doing so. Everything went so smoothly and after a couple hours of shooting (when the sun set) we got some great shots.

I had a great time with Mary Heather and Brandon. They were relaxed and fun-loving, which can be pretty contagious especially on busy wedding days. While the bridesmaids were getting dressed, I borrowed Mary Heather’s dress for one of my first images of the day. I was really digging the space you see in the first image below (what would you call that? atrium… lobby… open area? ;) ) and thought it’d be perfect for a really dramatic dress shot.
I love the emotion here– such a joyful smile on her mom’s face.
I think this makes my top 5 favorite cake shots. This made an awesome spread in their wedding album.
Random creeper in the window, hah. And I love the expression on Dad’s face (2nd from right).

Darlene & Jerome had such an intimate wedding with their closest family and friends, I think there were around 30 guests. The ceremony was outside (thankfully it didn’t rain.. there were some questionable clouds above) and included the unity sand pouring. Shortly after the ceremony when I was spending some “alone time” with the happy couple in the vineyard, the sun was starting to set which provided incredible color.
They had their reception in the Cask Room… A-mazing space. It fit perfectly with the whole feel of Darlene & Jerome’s wedding– it’s an intimate room that seats a limited amount of people. It’s a simple yet elegant room.
Here are some of my favorite images from the day.
The DJ let guests randomly sing songs about love…
…in return the bride and groom had to kiss :)
Having fun with a purple gel on my flash.
