Last weekend, Chris and I had the incredible pleasure of traveling out to Jekyll Island, GA to photograph Ariella and Kevin's beautiful wedding! Ariella went to the same college as Chris and I did, and so it was fun to see old friends who were guests and in their bridal party! Ariella and Kevin had their wedding at the Jekyll Island Club, which was absolutely stunning - I had never been to Georgia before and the Club was a beautiful first visit! Chris and I actually rented bikes the day before the wedding and rode around the island and just loved how peaceful it was - the island is very quiet and just gorgeous. The Jekyll Island Club has an amazing history and the grounds there are absolutely beautiful. Plus, I'm not used to being offered grits for breakfast, so that in itself was quite an experience :)
Here's a sneak peek of a few images, but for friends and family who want to be notified when all of their images are online (soon!) click here!
The first day we were there, we walked around the grounds and it was an absolutely beautiful day!
Ariella was absolutely stunning and I loved this picture as she was getting her dress on -
Chris and I had actually never met Kevin prior to their wedding day, but he was a pro in front of the camera from the moment we started shooting! :)
A few minutes before the ceremony started, Ariella waited in the back of the Church before the with her dad before they went down the aisle. Photographing a bride with her dad right before the ceremony is always one of my favorite parts of the day, and was particularly special with Ariella and her dad. They have such an obvious bond and it was a very sweet, quiet few moments before the ceremony started.
Look how happy the two of them are as they came back up the aisle!
I love their sweet expressions in this picture that we captured right after they came out of the Church-
After the ceremony, we headed back over to the Jekyll Island Club and did some pictures with them on the grounds there -
I love how Kevin is looking at his beautiful bride!
Ariella and Kevin's reception was in a garden area, right next to Crane Cottage, one of the beautiful buildings at the Jekyll Island Club. A HUGE word of thanks goes to Ashley from Events By Caroline - she coordinated the entire day, and everything from the ceremony to the reception details was absolutely perfect. Ashley helped make our job easy because everything went so smoothly, so a huge thank you goes to her! :)
We loved the simple elegance of the decor they did-
The view from the balcony during Ariella and Kevin's first dance-
There was a fantastic band at the reception and I loved some of the images we caught of everybody dancing!
This was such a fun cake cutting picture - I love all of her bridesmaids cheering for them in the background!
And finally, leaving the reception, covered in flower petals!
Ariella and Kevin, we are so excited for you two to start your life together and we were honored to be a part of your day!! Thanks for showing us such a gorgeous part of Georgia! :)
