Rachael and Matt
Matt and Rachael had an absolutely perfect April wedding.
Everything about their wedding was warm and beautiful. Matt and Rachael are two of the kindest, most humble people, which was evidently reflected in all of the family and friends who attended. It was an incredible privilege to be able to work in such a loving atmosphere.
The wedding and reception were held at Vecoma at the Yellow River. It’s a quaint little wooded oasis near the river tucked away from all the city life of Atlanta. Rachael’s gorgeous dress, as well as all of her bridesmaids dresses, are from a little family owned boutique in Atlanta called Formally Yours. And their cake is from another family owned company, Rhodes Family Bakery.
After the ceremony everyone gathered inside for feasting and dancing.
When the reception died down Rachael and Matt made their exit and we traveled to Stone Mountain park to grab a few shots of the stunning couple before they left. Rachael and Matt were a photographers dream. I asked them to climb on fences and into trees and over stone walls (which we found out later we weren’t really suppose to do…oops). As you can see, it was well worth it because they rocked these pictures.
I’ll be doing an after session with these two soon, which we know will be fantastic.
Thanks for a great day Matt and Rachael!
