We are soooo excited to share this blog post about Whitney & Aaron’s wedding at Kingsland First Baptist Church. It was such an emotional day full of complete joy and love. There were many happy tears and smiles even before the ceremony began. Whitney & Aaron had a sweet first look, which I posted last night.

The ceremony took place in the church’s new sanctuary, decorated with twinkling lights. One of my favorite moments was when Whitney took Aaron’s hands and gave them a little kiss while everyone was praying. Matt’s favorite part was shortly after when their parents prayed over them. The whole ceremony was so beautiful and touching. After they were announced husband and wife, Whitney gave a little fist pump while they walked down the aisle. It was too cute!

The reception was full of fun times, but some very heartfelt moments as well. The speeches ensured that there wasn’t a dry eye in the place, giving testimony to the character of these two amazing people and how much they are loved by family and friends. They truly are blessed!

I’ll end with a message from Matt:

Whitney and Aaron, I can honestly say that the two of you are one of the sweetest, kindest couples I’ve ever met. You hold such joy and love in your hearts and I know those qualities will help you persevere as you start your new journey. Best wishes!

After the reception we headed to the waterfront in downtown St Marys, GA for a few more romantic evening shots. It was chilly, Whitney put on Aaron’s jacket and snuggled up to him. We enjoyed these final sweet moments to reflect on an incredibly special day!

We have oodles of wedding goodness to share with you from Jamie & Matthew’s wedding at Crosswater Hall in Nocatee! There were so many personal and unique elements that made this day extra special for these two! They started the day with a first look, but it was a way we’ve never done before. Using the mirror in the bride’s room, Matthew was able to see Jamie’s face and the awesome detail in the back of her gown! Such a cool idea for a first look!

For the ceremony, Jamie & Matthew utilized the dual staircases and processed down each side and met in the middle. It was like Beauty and the Beast (except that they are both gorgeous). The ceremony began with the officiant ringing a crystal bell, which was the first time we had seen something like that at a wedding. But my favorite part was the hand fasting. They had different couples come forward and place a colored ribbon over their hands, each ribbon with a different meaning. At the end their hands were tied with the ribbons. It was such a beautiful touch!

The reception was nothing short of awesome! Everyone was cutting up on the dance floor and having a good time! Such a great crowd! It’s obvious that Jamie & Matthew have so much fun together, and we hope that they always laugh together the way that they did on their wedding day! Congratulations!

I didn’t think it was possible to adore Whitney & Aaron more than we already do, but after their wedding at the Kingsland First Baptist Church they have a special place in our hearts! I’m pretty sure I set a new record for times I’ve cried at a wedding last Saturday. I’d be surprised if anyone made it through their wedding day without crying at least once! It was a beautiful day filled with so much love! We’ll be sharing more from their special day after they return from their honeymoon, but here are a couple sneak peeks until then!

After the reception ended we headed to downtown St. Marys for a couple photos down by the water. Whitney looks so cute wrapped up in Aaron’s jacket (and his arms)! : )

We just returned from the east coast after shooting two very beautiful and fun weddings! First was Jamie & Matthew’s wedding at Nocatee’s Crosswater Hall! I’m so excited to share their unique wedding ceremony and gorgeous details, but first here’s one of my favorite shots and one that I think really captures Jamie & Matthew’s fun and outgoing personalities! : )
