Spring Wedding Season 2016 (Part 2)

Here are just a handful of my Spring 2016 Brides. 

April 23, 2016
Venue- The Ruins at Vellum Valley Farm ~ Cleveland, Ga
Photographer- Ben & Colleen

April 24, 2016
Venue- Neverland Farms ~ Cleveland, Ga
Photographer~ Carrie Joy Photography

May 4, 2016
Venue- Private Residence Woodstock, Ga
Photographer- Martine Beher Photography 

This next bride is extra special to me. Maybe because she made my Freshman year of high school in a new town so much fun. I was honored when my old friend asked me to do her hair and makeup for her wedding. Rich and Noelle are such a cute and fun couple. They even had a little visitor at their ceremony. 
 

May 14, 2016
Venue- 5 Star Lodge~ Morganton, Ga
Photographer- Solution Photographie 

Caitlin was a former bridesmaid in a previous bridal party that I had a few years ago. I was so honored that she asked for me to do her bridal party for her wedding day! 

Her wedding was deep in the North Ga Mountains just outside of Blairesville in a place called 5 Star Lodge. Luckily, I have been to this venue several times for other weddings, but if its your first time, it is definitely a haul! It is worth every moment though because when you come up the hill and see the clearing and the Lodge, the view is magnificent. 

 

May 21, 2016
Venue- Wolf Mountain Vineyards~ Dahlonega, Ga
Photographer- Melissa Prosser Photography

To say Emily was sweet is an vast understatement. She was so pleasant and kind to work with, making her trial so much fun. Here are some images I shot of her trial- 
 

Melissa Processor, her photographer is a frequent visitor in Dahlonega. Especially at Wolf Mountain Vineyards. Her photos never disappoint! 

Spring Wedding Season 2016 (Part 1)

I constantly get asked "When is Wedding Season"? 
To me, "Wedding Season" never really ends, except for maybe the dead of winter, but even then, there are a few brides who brave the cold for a January or February wedding (I myself was one of those brides). I classify the seasons into two categories, Spring and Fall. Now that I finally have a couple weeks of downtime, I can share with you some highlights of my 2016 Spring Brides. 

This year, Spring weddings started up with a bang at the end of March and a double wedding. I don't always have the space for two weddings in one day, but when "the stars align", or rather, the timeline aligns, I am able to squeeze in a second wedding.

First Wedding-
Bride- Abby
Venue-Neverland Farms
Photographer-  5 Petal Productions
Hair & Makeup (Airbrush)- Amberly at Structure HS

Abby was so much fun to work with. She is a beautiful young bride, a figure skater (MY CHILDHOOD DREAM) and sweet soul. After her trial, which we were able to coordinate with her bridal portraits, we scheduled an appointment for her first color session. We both were so excited to add a few balayage pieces in her hair to really add vibrancy and dimension to her wedding hairstyle. Even after her wedding, both she and her mom are regular clients at the salon. I am always thrilled to keep relationships with my brides and their families after their weddings.

Abby's Lazaro gown is from the Atlanta bridal boutique, Bridals by Lori and is every girls DREAM.

Second Wedding (March 26, 2016)

Bride- Leslie
Venue- White Oaks Barn, Dahlonega GA
Photographer- Barbara B. Covington Photography 
Hair & Makeup (Airbrush)- Amberly at Structure HS

Leslie is a long time client of mine. I started doing her hair when she was in High School. I did her hair for proms, military balls and high school events, and I now have had the pleasure of doing her bridal hair and makeup. Her venue, one of my personal favorites in Dahlonega (they also have amazing owners and staff), White Oaks Barn is the picture perfect North Ga wedding spot for a rustic, barn wedding. 

 One of  the things that has always impressed me the most about Leslie, is her relationship with her Mother. Much like my own, they are truly best friends and I think Barb really caught that in this photo below. 

Her wedding day was perfect, despite the overcast and threat of rain. It's so important to remember that you can't control the weather, but you can control your outlook on the situation. And in the end, its all about the celebration of love and commitment and doing so with all of your closest family and friends.
