SARAH + NATHAN WEDDING DAY//THE 1420 ROOM DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY

I love how when you marry someone, you unite as one in so many ways… One of my favorite things is that you get to become friends with with your spouse's friends as well.  I love all of my wife's friends!  One of them is Sarah.  They have been knowing each other since college days… hm…. it seems that all of her good friends are from her college career.  Anyways, they've been knowing each other for awhile and for their friendship to be better now than before is just amazing.  When we heard that Sarah and Nathan got engaged, we were just stoked!  Then when she asked my wife to be the matron of honor, we were even more excited.  And then when they asked me to be their photographer, I was like, "what??!"  Needless to say, it was an honor for us to be a part of their wedding from the beginning.  My wife is really good with details and watching her work with Sarah with wedding planning made me realize how much goes into a wedding.  It made me reminisce our planning days!  Let me tell you…. Nathan and Sarah were so awesome to work with… From the start, they knew what they wanted, so the decisions were made easily, and they were SO organized!  I'm very into techie stuff, but I don't know much about Excel and so seeing the three of them do everything in Excel was just crazy to me!  Through the planning, I really saw the way Nathan loved Sarah.  He was very involved and his goal was simply to make Sarah happy.  He really cared about what she cared about… I loved the way they became a team in every little detail.  I appreciate all the work that went into this wedding because on the day, it really showed.  The wedding party was amazing, the bride and the groom were so relaxed, and things went smoothly and as planned; it was just so organized!  Sarah was gorgeous!  She was one of the sweetest bride I've ever met, and she just had a great time at her wedding.  She looked like a one in a billion!  This was a special wedding for me too because my wife was in the wedding party…. hehe  I know I'm biased, but she was the best matron of honor EVER!  :)  I loved her toast, and I've never seen her dance so much……. OH MY!  I wondered if she was ok at one point.  But really, this wedding was just REALLY fun!  I mean, EVERYBODY in the room danced and just had a blast!  Oh, I forgot to mention that I think 90% of the guests were somehow linked to GA Tech.  Hm… maybe that's why my wife danced so much?  There were so many graduates from there!  WOW!  I think everybody was an engineer of some sort.  GO YELLOW JACKETS!  Sarah and Nathan, as you've teamed up to plan such an incredible wedding, I know that you will team up to become a solid couple in marriage.  Thank you for making our job easy by looking amazing and being photogenic!  You guys are naturals…. Enjoy the pics for life!  Please come visit us next time you're in town!  When we're in Nashville, we'll be sure to stop by your place!  Can't wait to see what you guys have done to your home!  Have a blessed marriage!

MALLORY + CASEY ENGAGEMENT PORTRAITS/ FOX ATLANTA LOVE

So, being from Canada where there's not much spirit for sports(except hockey of course), it was quite a culture shock for me when I learned how much people love college football here and how much they love their teams.  My wife, who is not into sports at all; even she, when it comes to the team spirit, her team is the best no matter what.  Which team you ask?  GA Tech Yellow Jackets... She graduated from there, and so for all of you who know about their biggest rivalry, it's UGA Bulldogs.  Now, my wife literally gets offended if you say anything good about the Bulldogs or say something bad about Tech. So, when I met Mallory and Casey, I knew that love can conquer all things because she is from UGA and he is from GA Tech!  He comes from a family that is just die hard GA Tech fans.... It was so cool hearing about how his dad took him to the GA Tech campus THE DAY he was born.  WOW!  Having two kids of my own, how amazing was his father for even having the energy to do that on the day your child is born?  That's just awesome and is a very sweet, sentimental story.  I love that and now I wish I did something like that when my daughters were born.  Hm... Maybe there's still another chance with baby #3?  :)hehe  They come from different schools and teams, but one thing they both LOVE doing is to go to the Fox Theater to watch every show that they possibly can.  It's one of their favorite places to go.  That place really is beautiful!  I've been there a few times with my wife who is also a HUGE broadway fan!  She actually just asked me few days ago to buy her tickets to the "Les Miserables."  :)  But, above what they like, the biggest common thing that they have is how they love one another which is the way it should be.  Their pics below really show it, and I just treasure these times in a couple's life!  Even in the cold weather we were in this day, they worked through it together... In that way, I know their marriage will be amazing.  Mallory & Casey, thank you for such a wonderful time.  I really enjoyed getting to know you more, and I just can't wait for your beautiful wedding day.  It's going to be fabulous like the Fabulous Fox Theater!  ;)
