Romantic Decatur Courthouse Wedding: Hillary & Stephen

9/30/2015

I had the incredible honor of photographing Hillary and Stephen's beautiful wedding day at the Old Courthouse on the Square in Decatur, Georgia! This wedding not only had beautiful bridesmaids in a variety of dresses in romantic hues of gold and blush carrying stunning, lush bouquets by Holland Daze Weddings... it had TWO wedding dresses! 
This beautiful day started at Adore Salon in Virginia Highlands where the girls relaxed and felt pampered all morning! After getting into full glam, the ladies headed to the hotel for a quick change before walking to the Courthouse. Stephan and Hillary opted for a first look which meant we had so much more time for portraits and for them to relax before saying "I do!". It also gave Hillary time to change into her mom's wedding dress for the ceremony. This dress was a completely different look to the dress Hillary picked out but it fit like a glove! Seriously, no alterations had to be made. It was just meant to be!

After capturing additional portraits in both dresses, the newlyweds entered their intricately decorated reception space. The room was completely transformed from the ceremony and it was STUNNING! Vintage accents adorned each table with beautiful flowers and candlelight. To mark Hillary and Stephen's place at the table, their childhood portraits hung on the back of their chairs! The party got off to a GREAT start with a surprise choreographed dance for Stephen and his mom. It was so awesome and made it even more fun that it was her idea to make the mother/son dance so epic! Guests danced the night away and helped to celebrate an amazing first day for Hillary and Stephen's life as a married couple. Hillary and Stephen - thank you so much for allowing me to capture and celebrate your wedding day! I hope you had an amazing trip and I can't wait for our date to Avellino's when you are back and settled!
