I made the trip to Big Canoe early Sunday morning to capture these two Georgia Tech sweethearts tie the knot! Everyone was hard at work getting the space dressed up in pink and white accents and I think the Cherry Blossoms outside got the memo on the color scheme, because the blooms were INCREDIBLE! They perfectly framed Meredith and Michael during their chilly morning ceremony. Who knew that at the end of March Georgia would decide to have winter again? Thankfully everyone was a good sport about it but Meredith was the real champ! Her dress was stunning but was definitely not warm. These two incorporated so many personal details into their day and it felt so perfectly THEM, right down to the Cinnabon cinnamon rolls!
Everything was so calm when I arrived to the Chimneys at Big Canoe. Meredith was getting her makeup done while two of her bridesmaids got ready nearby. They also popped into the reception space to help set up some of those personal details. [This is why picking bridesmaids that are thoughtful is important ladies!] We were able to borrow blooms from A Timely Event to style the invitation and details, and it was so fun to be able to watch Meredith and Michael's vendors bring their vision to life. We were able to knock out a few portraits before the ceremony but since Meredith and Michael didn't want to see each other, we rotated so everyone got to use the gorgeous cherry blossoms as a backdrop! Thankfully everyone also got a moment to warm up inside before heading back out for the ceremony. As Meredith made her way down the aisle, Michael wiped away tears. It was such a special moment and although there were hundreds of eyes looking at them it was as if they were the only two people in the world when they locked eyes. Meredith and Michael are thoughtful and genuine people and I know they are going to do amazing things together as they start their lives as husband and wife. I'm so grateful I was able to be a part of their day!
