The day the had been waiting for was finally here!

It was finally time for Hannah and Christopher’s Atlanta Wedding day. We arrived at the hotel on Friday evening to be greeted by our beautiful bride. I know it may sound crazy, but it’s one of my most favorite things about traveling for a wedding. We usually end up staying close by to our couple and their friends and so we get a chance to meet them and catch up.

This Atlanta Wedding was already shining. Everyone was so excited for this special wedding day.

The beautiful day started with detail shots early. Another perk of an Atlanta wedding. We can be on our own time schedule, since we are in the same hotel together. I spent time photographing all of the special things Hannah had prepared for her day Atlanta Wedding.

Hannah was glowing. She was so excited and had been waiting so long for this very special day. The emotions were truly in the air with all of the sweet family and friends.

These two! They’re just magic. We captured so many special moments of their Atlanta Wedding and sweet love story! We left their day with many memories and stories to share. The first look definitely captured all of us. Christopher was so excited to see his bride and goodness was she glowing. The time was getting close and so we spent a few minutes with them together get some formal photographs.

Their Atlanta Wedding was off to a beautiful start!

I hope you didn’t miss that sweet moment with Hannah and her dad, a couple pictures above. They have the sweetest bond and I just love how he looked at her and smiled all day long. He was for sure a very proud Dad!

We got going with the handsome and GQ groomsmen on this beautiful Atlanta Wedding day. They looked so sharp dressed in their black tuxedos.

The bridemaids followed close behind with the stunning and sheek ballgowns of navy blue. They were so perfect for this romantic wedding day.

The wedding party loaded the party bus and headed over to St. Elias. One thing Josh and I always love is seeing different styles of wedding services. Being in ministry, it keeps us intrigued to different customs and worship. Christopher is preparing to become a priest in his church, so this was an extra special day. I am sure he will be doing the same services for many years to come, for friends and family.

The Atlanta Wedding ceremony at St. Elias was something very special. We loved watching the customs. I will say, if you ever shoot a wedding here…prepare for the kiss. And thankfully, these two love birds didn't mind kissing a few more times after the special altar kiss.

After the ceremony, this Atlanta wedding party bus loaded back up and we headed over to the Ballroom at the Carlos Center to do formal photographs and get this party started! As you can tell, everyone was breathing a great sense of excitement! It was almost time for the party!!!

Could these two be any more romantic! We absolutely loved spending this time with them. Their love is for sure real and I can’t wait to watch their marriage grow in the future.

The ballroom was ready when we finished the formals and it was stunning. The cake…even more amazing. I love how Hannah surprised Chris with his Boston teams on the back of the cake. She is such a fun person and definitely a fun Atlanta wedding bride.

Did money fall on the dance floor? Oh yes, it did!

This Atlanta Wedding day was something to remember. As you can imagine, there are many more memories to cull and edit from this special day, but these just made me smile.
