Alright folks, we have an amazing fall wedding to share with you.  Just picture getting married on the docks by Piedmont Park then traveling to a great brewery with private dining area for you and your guests!  It was so amazing to have the guests travel in style on the Georgia Tech Trolley!

Hollie from Lytle Foto did an amazing job capturing the true essence of who Rebecca and Ann are as a couple.  We wish them many more years of married bliss!

Tyeema is just one of those girls that walks around with a smile on her face.  Even if you had not such great news to share, there was no way you were going to damper her mood.  She just made everyone happy everywhere she went.  Gerik is just amazing and makes sure to take care of Tyeema and be there when she needs him!

They were married this October at Evleven 15 Events, and boy did her crowd party!

I can only think of one word when I describe these two; ADORABLE.  They are just too cute and so much fun to be around.  Jeremy is the perfect southern gentleman and dotes on Christina on hand and foot.  It is just so amazing to see these two together. 

You have to check out these super cute engagement photos taken at the Renaissance hotel in midtown Atlanta. The shoot is so fun, yet glamorous and sets the perfect tone for a date night at a luxe hotel, or just getting ready for a night out on the town.

If you want to know more about Jeremy and Christina you must check out their feature on Essence.com

In a couple of days it will be Sean and Michelle’s one year anniversary.  I cannot believe how time is flying, remind me to have a conversation with God to ask him to just slow it down a bit.  Back to Michelle and Sean, I heart these two, I really do. As a wedding planner I do not get the opportunity to hang out with my clients as much as I like and I plan to change that in 2012!  After all they are much more than clients to me, there is no way we will lose communication because of work!

Michelle and Sean although I don’t get to connect as much as I like, please know that I tell your story often. So much so that I am about to share it now.

Michelle and Sean visited 200 Peachtree one day, although they went to many venues after, Michelle just knew in her heart this venue was for her.  Since Sean is an accountant he gave me a budget we had to stick too, and another venue just worked out to fit our budget a bit better.  Michelle was ok with giving up her dream place just to make it work. As far as she was concerned Sean and I put down a deposit on venue B and we were moving forward with the wedding plans. Being the angel that Michelle is, she was ok with this, after all all that mattered is that she was marrying her best friend.

But Sean being an amazing man that he is, did not want his lovely wife to be to sacrifice the place that won her heart, we moved forward with the venue of her dreams and held our little secret for weeks.  I think Sean couldn’t take it anymore and squealed on himself! Yup he is just that amazing.

I never considered it work when working with Melissa and Thea.  Melissa may be one of the sweetest souls I know, that could not even get upset at anyone if she tried. Thea just completes her in every way as they embark on journey after journey together.  Since her mother has affectionately adopted me into the family, be prepared to see this couple a lot more on the blog in the upcoming months!

Melissa began her day getting ready at one of the most gorgeous spa’s in all of Atlanta, Spa Sentio. While the girls took their time to get ready, they sipped on champagne and transformed into fabulous divas. The ceremony took place at the beautiful Christ the King Cathedral then the guests headed to the Foundry at Puritan Mill for a night full of dancing.  If you ever want to see what 400 people on the dance floor looks like, peep below!

We made sure that no detail was missed as we carried the color scheme from the clothes that Melissa wore in her save the date picture, to the mini pom poms we threw at the grand exit. It was great to see how the tangerine and plum worked so well together (we were ahead of the curve with the Pantone 2012 colors!).

Congrats to Melissa and Thea for being published in The Knot Magazine. Melissa and Thea we are forever grateful for being able to be apart of your big day! xoxo

This is one of those posts that I do not even know where to begin. Should I start off by telling you how awesome Asha and Bryson are or should I just replay their wedding day picture by picture???? Ok I just decided to do a little bit of both.

I tell Asha daily that she will be our first female President. I know she thinks I am joking but I mean it. Everyone knows her, and not one person has anything bad to say about her. She just has this presence about her that commands a room but is totally approachable at the same time. Oh let’s not forget her better half. He might as well run for Vice President right beside her because they are truly that much of a power couple!

Asha and her girls, began their day at in the penthouse suite of the Glenn Hotel in downtown Atlanta.  Asha and Bryson decided to do a first look on the roof top of the Glenn Hotel. It was just perfect, just the two of them!

Bryson had two dinner jackets. One for the first look and another for the rest of the ceremony and reception. Men take note, you can do a dress change too!

It was our first time working with Nadia D. Photography, and needless to say she is my new bestie. Her photos are like a work of art!

They were blessed to have an amazing bridal party that made the day all about the couple and not about themselves!

Can’t forget the S’mores!

So we are going to let you in on a little secret. One of our goals this year was to see our fabulous couples and events on the pages of the Knot Magazine. First we were blessed to see Jessica and Sam in the Knot National issue that came out earlier this month, and now we have not one but two couples in The Knot Georgia edition. As an added bonus we even gave some savvy scoops on how to make your day that much better!  Congrats to Asha and Bryson as well as Melissa and Thea!

In the December issue of Jezebel magazine, we were honored to share tips on how to make your home holiday entertaining the talk of the town!

We just love Essence!  Thank you for featuring our fabulous couples; Shaundra and David, Nadine and Eddy, and the engagement session of Katryna and Johnnie.

We are just loving Knot News. It is a great site that is basically a newspaper for wedding blogs. Thanks for featuring a few weddings of ours. Check it out.

I don’t think I have ever seen such a hot couple just strolling around Piedmont Park. With such scenic surroundings, there is no surprise as why Piedmont Park serves as the backdrop for many engagement sessions that take place here in Atlanta.  The couple decided to have a fun yet laid back shoot to truly demonstrate their personality. I think they did just that! Aragon Photography blew this shoot out of the water!  Katryna and Johnnie are getting married next October and we could not be any happier for them.
