natalie and chad

It was almost a year ago when we met up with Natalie and Chad in Athens, GA to shoot their engagement pictures. We had been corresponding for a few months and we couldn’t wait to spend some time with them, hanging out and walking around the UGA campus. Well, after about 30 minutes in the heat, we knew that these two were going to be SO MUCH FUN. It was uncomfortably warm and sticky for early September but it didn’t faze them. We walked everywhere – Natalie in these oh-so-cute tiny heels and looking like a million dollars and Chad hanging in there like a champ. Yep. True professionals at this picture thing. We LOVED it and knew we were in for an extra special treat on their wedding day.

Oh, we were so right! Natalie and Chad’s fabulous wedding day at Chateau Elan Vineyards and Winery was absolutely beautiful! Yes, it was HOT outside but Natalie and Chad and their entire wedding party were such great sports. Despite the mugginess (and those tiny little gnats that kept wanting to hide in the layers and layers of Natalie’s gorgeous wedding dress), no one complained. Champagne, blush, gold … and a ‘hint of bling’ … oh yes, we’re still smiling at these! xx

And of course, even their Signature Drink had a bit of sparkle and glam!

Glittery cake toppers, monogrammed glasses, a 30th birthday cupcake, look-alike wedding cookies (the cutest favor!) and Uncle Bill! Oh my goodness, everyone needs an Uncle Bill!
