In true Georgia fashion, Alex and Jonathan's wedding day covered just about every type of weather possible in August. As a photographer I was hoping for lots of clouds and with a pretty high chance of rain I had expectations perfect cloud coverage. However, mother nature had other plans. It was an absolutely gorgeous day with bright blue skies... right up until after the ceremony. Luckily Alex and Jonathan had an amazing and fun bridal party that didn't mind the threat of thunder and lightning! After scrambling to avoid the oncoming storm, we made it to Summerour Studio just in time for it to pour. When your plans for the day to capture gorgeous outdoor portraits around this amazing venue are completely turned upside down - you improvise.... then get the party started! Alex and Jonathan were surrounded with so much love, laughter, and impressive dance moves. These families have truly supported this couple through obstacles most young couples don't have to face. Alex is a cancer survivor and as her sister Eliza stated beautifully in her toast, "Jonathan, you brought her back to life." Don't get the wrong idea though, the toasts were anything but sappy; Alex's dad, siblings, and Jonathan's best man had the guests (and I) rolling! Each detail was a perfect representation of this GORGEOUS couple - right down to the Krispy Kreme donuts to end the evening. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Garner! Thank you for letting me capture your beautiful day - rain and shine!
Big thanks to Amanda for capturing these shots of Jonathan... and making it through the day after a flat tire!
