Bride on the steps of the Swan House at the Atlanta History Center

Katie’s Bridal Session at the Swan House at the Atlanta History Center in Atlanta, GA was the perfect way to end 2020. We met on what was one of the nicest December days I’ve ever experienced – with temperatures in the high sixties, it was incredibly warm & pleasant, even for a city that has […]

Richard & Hannah’s wedding – what an amazing & fun day! You’ll begin to see more as you scroll through the images below, but I seriously felt like I just giggled all day. Hannah, your laugh is adorable & infectious! So many emotions present – there were tears (happy ones, of course), we laughed a lot (as mentioned), the tangible love everyone felt between the new Mr. & Mrs. as well as the love and care between Richard & Hannah & their family members. And the 5 Seasons Westside was the perfect backdrop for a delightful outdoor ceremony & jazzy party under the stars!

Richard & Hannah – I adored being a part of your day. Thank you so much for enjoying the day, being yourselves & inviting me into one of the most fun celebrations I’ve ever been a part of! I am so grateful to have met you both & gotten to know you. Enjoy the photos, y’all! Love – Carrie Joy

The authentic emotional moments started early! There were “misty eyes” everywhere when Hannah came out in her dress. Awww…

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as hard through family photos as I did with Hannah & her family. Her brothers were cracking me up the entire day! So much fun!

After getting ready & taking some photos at the Georgian Terrace, we moved on to the Five Seasons Westside for the ceremony & reception!

It was an emotional walk down the aisle for Hannah & her dad making it hard for all of us to hold the emotions back!

Richard’s smiles at Hannah during the ceremony were so full of love & joy. Adore!

Mid-ceremony, Hannah & Richard shared promises they had written to each other & placed them for safe-keeping in a gorgeous wooden promise box. It was one of my favorite moments of their ceremony!

Nothing beats that giddy “we’re officially married” feeling! 🙂

After some portraits of the adorable couple, it was back to the tent for toasts & the start of the reception!

Richard surprised Hannah with a special solo performance of “From this Moment On” accompanied by music by the amazing Bonaventure Quartet. It was followed by their first dance as husband & wife!

Without a doubt, the parent dances are when I get the most emotional at weddings, and Richard, Hannah and their parents didn’t disappoint! As the sun set on the gorgeous fete, the string lights began to twinkle & the ambiance just sparkled…

Instead of wedding cake, Richard & Hannah shared wedding pie! Definitely a hit with everyone! 🙂

love. Love. LOVED the Bonaventure Quartet. I share a love of jazz with Richard & Hannah, so when they told me they’d hired a jazz quartet for their wedding, I knew it’d be an amazing party! They were so sweet to share their CD with me, and I’ve been listening to it non-stop since the wedding! 🙂

Congratulations, Richard & Hannah!
