When Kathryn asked me to photograph her wedding last year, I was so honored and, to be quite honest, a bit surprised. I’d not yet started my photography business, so this request was just the push I needed to take a leap of faith on a longtime dream of mine. So thank you to Kathryn, Brett, and their families for believing in me and asking me to photograph their wedding weekend! It truly was a huge honor and something I’ll always remember.
Kathryn and Brett chose to get married at her family friends’ home on a lake in Monroe, GA on 6.14.14. The private location was gorgeous — filled with tall trees, a rustic barn, and a grassy “pointe” that made for an ideal ceremony location. Her family and friends spent hours the day of the wedding making everything just so. The florist created the most stunning backdrop for the ceremony — it quite literally glistened in the afternoon sun. I think every detail of the day perfectly represented who they are as individuals, as well as a couple — right down to Kathryn’s light pink wedding gown and the colorful Chuck Taylors that Brett and his groomsmen wore with their suits. Kathryn and Brett are such fun-loving, easy-going, and friendly people, and it was so much fun working with them and their friends and family. I hope you enjoy a peek at their big day!
