Last Saturday I had the honor of photographing Alyssa and Josh's beautiful spring wedding at the Country Club of the South! It was a day 8 years in the making and equally anticipated by Alyssa and Josh's amazing family and friends. These two met while co-oping for a semester in college at GE in Kentucky and had their first date at the local Steak 'n Shake. With their playful and down to earth personalities, this didn't shock me one bit. However, Josh DID make the proposal extra special by flying in Alyssa's sister Stephanie to be a part of the big day and capture all the action. How sweet is that?! Seeing how close they are, it is no surprise that Stephanie was in on the planning! Since Alyssa and Josh now live in Nevada, they relied on an amazing team of vendors and Alyssa's mom, Joane, to make sure this day went off without a hitch. The only possible threat was the weather forecast but thankfully it held out and the loved ones that came from near and far to celebrate this special day got to experience a beautiful spring day in Georgia... AKA warm and with lots of pollen.
We kicked off this lovely spring wedding with the ladies in the Villa. Everyone already looked SO beautiful when we came in so we got to play with the details before getting Alyssa in her classic wedding dress. After a first look with her dad and bridesmaids, it was Josh's turn to see his bride. They were troopers and didn't mind marching through the pine straw so we could shoot between the blooming azalea bushes. With a smaller wedding party, we had so much time for portraits - it was this photographer's DREAM. The blooms, sunlight and super sweet couple just made it all so perfect. Finally it was time to tuck the bride and groom away as guests arrived. Clouds rolled in for the ceremony and a breeze swept through making the unity candle situation quite comical, but NO RAIN! We took one last trip around the Country Club of the South by golf cart and captured a few "JUST MARRIED!" portraits before it was party time. The rest of the night was filled with dancing, sweet toasts, and delicious late night snacks before sending Alyssa and Josh into married life under a LONG tunnel of sparklers!
Alyssa and Josh - thank you so much for letting me capture your beautiful day! You two are AMAZING and I hope you are having so much fun on your trip!
