Cator Woolford Gardens Wedding: Nelie & Ben

9/27/2016

I had the honor of photographing Nelie and Ben's beautiful wedding at Cator Woolford Gardens! Every detail was thoughtfully chosen to perfectly tell their love story right down to the yard games and table runner made of pages from their favorite books. Cator Woolford was such a gorgeous backdrop for this September wedding and the floral design by Martha McIntosh accented the natural beauty of the Gardens perfectly as well as making a beautiful transition from summer to Fall!

Nelie and Ben's love story has quite the comical beginning and I loved hearing it at their rehearsal dinner during Nelie's brother's toast! What started out as a match made in online dating Heaven could have been easily derailed if not for Nelie's brother's assistance after Ben texted the wrong number to arrange their first date. Thankfully, they did meet and the rest is history! Their wedding day began at the Emory Conference Center Hotel where Nelie and Ben spent the morning together... it may have not been intentional but I think it fit them perfectly. However, Ben didn't see Nelie in her beautiful dress until their first look at Cator Woolford Gardens. I absolutely LOVE their portraits and loved spending that time with them before they said, "I do!" in front of their closest family and friends. Nelie and Ben's guests enjoyed traditional southern cuisine and canned treats made by Nelie! After dinner, everyone made their way up to the Frazer Center for drinks, dancing, cake AND King of Pops! Nelie and Ben - thank you for letting me be a part of your beautiful day! You two are some of the most genuine people I've ever met and I LOVED capturing these special moments!
