We have the perfect wedding to get you in a holiday mood! We are completely loving Suzanne & Scott’s gorgeous winter wedding at The Hilliard Mansion! This wedding is packed with sweet southern charm (complete with mason jars, burlap, lace, and a barn reception). Mix that with purple and green wintery elements (including a hot chocolate bar!! Love!!) and you have one of the cutest weddings imaginable! And really, who cannot fall in love with a wedding where the couple brought a tree stump to sit the programs on? Pure awesomeness!

From the moment we heard Suzanne & Scott’s love story, we became huge fans of theirs! Like we were literally cheering them on! And it’s clear that their family and friends are all cheering them on, too! From all the tears and smiles on their wedding day, it’s clear that they are very much loved by everyone and family and friends are of the highest importance to them. And while all the cute decorations and pretty lights make this wedding visually inspiring, it’s the couple that truly makes this wedding beautiful!

We had such a great time shooting this wedding and getting to know such a wonderful couple! We hope that you’ll always remember all the little moments that made this day perfect! Congratulations Suzanne & Scott!

Sometimes, the best way to get to know a couple is to hear all the stories of them from those who are closest to them. When Phil’s best woman, Donna, gave her speech, she shared how Andrea and Phil first met while teaching at the same school. When Andrea confided in Donna that she had a crush on Phil, Donna decided to play matchmaker and we’re really glad she did because Andrea and Phil are absolutely perfect for each other!

Andrea and Phil had a gorgeous fall wedding at the East Lake Woodlands Country Club. They chose to do a first look before their ceremony, with Andrea walking to out to a waiting Phil on the veranda outside the club. You could see by the look in Phil’s eyes that he considered himself the luckiest guy on the planet. It was a real struggle for them to hold off from kissing each other until the ceremony!

The ceremony took place underneath beautiful old oak trees by a lake. It was an elegant ceremony and included some great personal touches, like asking for blessings from both sets of parents and including a sand ceremony where the parents and Andrea and Phil poured sand into a framed photo of themselves.

The wedding had such incredible details, including a pair of boots that Andrea wore under her dress, custom jewelry that included a pendant that belonged to Andrea’s grandmother, sharp brown tuxedos worn by the guys, and the custom-designed florals by Andrea’s mom. Andrea and Phil also had a cupcake tower, a chocolate fountain, and a “Yo Phi” signature cocktail at the reception.

As for the reception, all we can say is that it was one heck of a party! It was non-stop dancing and laughter. From classic rock and disco, to the latest hip hop, Andrea and Phil rocked out until it was time for their grand exit through a tunnel of sparklers!

We had so much fun at Andrea and Phil’s wedding. We’re so happy that we made friends with Andrea’s parents, Kristi and Kirk, and are so honored that they thought highly enough of us to ask us to photograph the wedding! And it was a real pleasure getting to know the Dietz family as well! It’s always so amazing to see two families join together!

We welcome Andrea & Phil back from an incredible honeymoon in Ireland!! We know everyone has been anxious to see the photos, so we’re thrilled to finally share them along with a special slideshow! Congratulations again Andrea & Phil! : )
