King & Prince Resort Wedding: Hannah & Trey

I headed back down to Saint Simons Island again, this time for Hannah and Trey's wedding!! I was able to explore the area with them for their engagement session last October and you just can't beat sunshine pouring through those big  mossy covered oaks. Needless to say I was so excited about their day! Having a couple as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside was the cherry on top of all the natural  beauty. However, with the forecast showing an 80% chance of rain... my hopes for gorgeous portraits beneath those trees were slim to none at best. As the day went on, the forecast improved. As Hannah said, "This is the weather the grandmas have been praying for." Apparently I need to get these ladies on my payroll because it turned out to be a BEAUTIFUL, sunny day and Hannah and Trey deserved no less. 

St. Simons is a special place for both Hannah and Trey. Hannah grew up vacationing there and Trey's grandparents live on the island. It is also the place where Trey proposed... for real. These two have quite the sense of humor and Trey had faked Hannah out a few times before so when he got on one knee by the lighthouse on St. Simons, she laughed it off until she saw the ring. It was only fitting that they also tie the knot in a place near and dear to their hearts. We started the day at the King & Prince in Hannah's gorgeous villa. The ladies were already glammed up and just relaxing (or taking a cat nap like Nikki, ha!) in their matching robes. Everyone was just so helpful and jumped at the chance to make Hannah's day flow easier. From driving her to the park to carrying her super long (stunning) train, she always had helpers! I should have taken a helper with me when I went to chop off a palm frond to use for detail shots... Let's just say a hotel guest was probably terrified on an awkward elevator ride down while I stood there holding a giant knife. It was worth it though!

Soon it was time to stage the first look and Hannah's bridesmaids help coordinate getting Trey  to the spot without seeing her so they could exchange letters and see each other for the first time. I think my favorite part was when we started walking to head to the park for portraits, Trey made sure to get a glimpse of Hannah from behind. Although you can't fault him, the back of the dress was totally worth a second look.  After knocking out all the portraits at Mallery Park, we got Hannah and Trey to the church in time to be tucked away.... and enjoy some tacos courtesy of those amazing bridesmaids I was talking about earlier! The rest of the night flew by as the sun went down and guests enjoyed drinks out on the lawn under palm trees. It could not have been a more beautiful evening! Hannah's sister and Trey's brother toasted them with the sweetest sentiments before they got to cut their cake. Then it was just time for dancing and sending these two off into married life! 

Hannah and Trey- thank you so much for including me in your plans for this incredible day. I'm so glad that the timing worked out perfectly for you two to find each other because you are quite the pair. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
