There’s such a beauty in the marriage of two people who are really and truly best friends – like Helen and Hunter are. And that beauty of love and friendship was radiant and lit up every part of the day as Helen & Hunter were wed. Their strength is evident in every interaction – both that I’ve had with them personally and that I got to witness at their wedding as they interacted with friends and family. The world needs more couples like these two! 
What an incredible day. Helen was exceptionally radiant on her father’s arm as she approached Hunter. Joy emanated from her face. Hunter’s eyes shone with love. It was one of those moments that thinking back even now gets me misty eyed! Another special touch was the fact that Helen & Hunter’s wedding was the first one to be held in the newly renovated chapel at Acworth United Methodist Church. It was the perfect backdrop to their reverent and beautiful ceremony. And after the ceremony, it was time to celebrate! Friends and family mingled and danced into the night at the Conservatory at Waterstone! 

Hunter and Helen, you two are such a joy! It has been such an incredible honor to get to know you & capture such an exciting time in your lives. I love that friendship is at the foundation of your love and marriage. Never forget that. Continue to be sweet and kind to each other and those you come into contact with. May you be a rock and support for others as you continue down this road called marriage. It has truly been an honor to serve you! Much love & appreciation – Carrie Joy

Hunter & the guys all wore bow ties – which are so classically southern. Adore it!

Helen’s entrance & Hunter’s adorable expression were enough to bring tears to my eyes! Helen & Hunter’s wedding was the first one in the AUMC Chapel since it’s renovation & everything looked amazing!

Helen & Hunter’s joy just jumps out of the photos & I love it! After the ceremony, we all moved to downtown Acworth for photos!

Aren’t Helen & Hunter adorable? I could have photographed them all evening!

Love, love LOVED all the sweet giggles and smiles between the newlyweds during portrait time! Aw! After portraits it was on to the Conservatory at Waterstone for the reception!
