Chris and Megan's Wedding

Last weekend I was so lucky to have the opportunity to photograph Megan and Chris's fabulous wedding in Atlanta. Sandy came a long to help me out too (she was a huge help.) We both had a great time with them. We were able to get SO many shots of the bride and groom together and with their wedding party because the B&G chose to see each other BEFORE the ceremony. I recommend this to all of my couples because it gives the bride and groom the ability to see each other privately before the ceremony without everyone else there. It is such a special time where they can see each other for the first time alone, talk quietly and hug...all of the things you can't do if you wait until the ceremony. The best part of this, from my point of view, is that I can do all of the bride and groom pictures before the ceremony while there is still time...and not have to rush through their portraits, which are the most important ones, in a couple of minutes after the ceremony.

Megan and Chris were incredibly great to work with. We started at the church with the wedding party and then moved to an old train depot not too far away. We were able to get some fun and different shots there and then the clouds rolled in. I would have loved a few more minutes there but we didn't want to chance it so we headed back to the church. Of course it stopped raining then!

They had a beautiful ceremony that was SO moving! Chris is in a band and he and his band played the processional. The song that they played was an instrumental written by the groom that he played to her on his guitar (quietly accompanied by the rest of the band.) What was so amazing about it was that it started off so quietly and then it grew louder and louder as she entered and then came down the aisle. It was VERY emotional and nearly everyone was in tears.

They had a great reception attended by their family and friends. They are a truly special couple and I know that they are going to have a wonderful life together. I feel so blessed to know them and to have been asked to photograph their wedding.

Congratulations Megan and Chris!!!!
