I met Betz at a wedding I photographed in 2010.* She noticed me taking a candid photo of her during the reception, and sweetly made a comment to me about not liking photos of herself. Well, I thought she looked gorgeous who I showed her the photo I'd just taken on the back of my camera. She agreed that it was a great photo, and said that if she ever got married she'd hire me as her photographer. And what do you know!? She was dating the father of the groom at that wedding and five years later they did get married. I was thrilled to have the honor of capturing the amazingly sweet wedding day of Betz and Chris at The Taylor Grady House on May 9, 2015 in Athens, Georgia.*Vicki and John were married at The State Botanical Garden of Georgia in Athens on April 10, 2010.I love the koozie that they had as favors - It's Never Too Late To Live Happily Ever After!!This is Chris' son John, whose wedding I photographed in 2010.And this is Vicki, John's wife.Congratulations Betz and Chris!

And Nicole looks so cute with her dress held up so we can see those fabulous shoes!The first danceFather DaughterMother SonThe rain doesn't bother me!!The beautiful and delicious cake by Trumps Catering. Their baker Susan Hodges makes the perfect wedding cake - both phenomenally beautiful, and absolutely mouth-watering. This one was white cake with strawberry filling - or at least the layer I had a piece from was!There was a brief power outage within the tent, so I got this shot of the Japanese lantern and the rain outside the tent. One more post from this wedding to come... the dancing!

Nicole and Tyler had planned on an outside wedding, but the rain didn't allow for that. Luckily, the interior of The Taylor Grady House is beautiful, and a perfect backdrop for their lovely, romantic ceremony. The magnificent floral arrangements were created by European Floral Design.Tyler was a little "turned around" when he entered for the ceremony. He started off on the bride's side! Luckily, his best men were there to help him out.I love this moment between Tyler and his dad!The elegant bride walking down the aisle with her father.Are they a happy couple or what?Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Evans!
