Our last wedding of the year was at the beautiful Meadows at Mossy Creek! For December, it was a surprisingly warm day. We loved spending the day with Hannah and Chace and meeting the staff at Meadows at Mossy Creek. Check out a few photos from their day!
Have you ever met someone for the first time and you instantly feel like you are friends? That is what is was like meeting Gina and JP.
The combination of grassy fields, a sweet couple, and a setting sun is a perfect evening for engagement photos. We may have spent a little more time talking after the shoot about anything from enneagrams to house renovations to visiting Montana. I left their photo shoot feeling so fulfilled with my career. I love capturing peoples love and how they interact. I love helping share their story.
Hannah & Brandon’s wedding day had a special warmth to it. There was thoughtful detail throughout and lots of love and time put into so many parts. It was truly a girls dream wedding.
The day started out with the bride, Hannah, and her closest friends and family getting ready in her childhood bedroom. Their home could have been in a Southern Homes Magazine. Just outside their home is the stunning reception barn that her Dad had built for her and her Momma designed.
You could feel the love, see the excitement, and adore all of the details of their wedding day.
Oh, and the vendor’s were fantastic!

Ainsley & Jacob, and their family, beautifully executed a dreamy open-field wedding. They had the location just off a gravel road in the middle of tall wheat colored grass with a humble mountain in the background. This was a dreamy setting for an Georgia October wedding. It was classy and inviting. They had church pews, window arches, and the most perfect white puffy clouds in the sky. If you can’t tell already, this wedding made my heart happy!
Oh, the excitement! You said "Yes" and the two of you are starting to make plans to get married. This is such a fun and exciting time that can quickly become overwhelming. Here are a few helpful tips from Kristin Faye Photography on how to get started on planning after you get engaged:
Before we begin, grab a cup of coffee and take a break! :)
12+ Months:
1. Announce your engagement // Let everyone know!
2. Chose your wedding style // Do you want a black tie classic wedding, or a wedding that has lots of elegant southern style. Neither of these may be for you, but know the options are endless. Pinterest can help or be more overwhelming.
3. Consider budget // Who is paying for what and truly consider the cost. Begin research on venues, photographers, florist, caterers, and bakers for you cake. Also, put those things in order for what is most important. Consider what is going to be worth paying more for and whats not as important.
4. Book your venue(s) // You need a place that can host all of your guest, has space for both the ceremony and reception. If they don't have a place for both, can the staff at the venue quickly and smoothly "flip" the space?
*You may have a specific date in mind, so be sure the check with the venue before making further plans.
5. Book your photographer // Photographers are usually the second vendor to be booked, the venue is the first. It is important to book a photographer that fits your style. Also, find one that has a good portfolio and is willing to share more of their work, full galleries, send referrals from previous clients, and someone who is willing to work with you.
*We take our jobs very seriously. We truly LOVE what we do and know that it's an honor to capture a couples wedding day. We work hard to further our education in all aspects of wedding photography. We also make an effort to get to know our couples. *
6. Go dress shopping // Wahoo! This is an exciting part. Invite a few of your closest friends and family that you'd want to take with you. Take photos! Enjoy this day.
7. Don't forget to truly enjoy this process. My wish for any couple is that they learn to slow down, don't stress the small stuff, and to remember the whole purpose of this planning. It's about you
and your fiance. It's about the two of you and your love.
For several months the groom's mother and I had been preparing for Victoria + Cole's wedding on July 16th at the elegant Ritz Carlton Sandy Creek Barn located on Lake Oconee, Georgia. This lovely historic barn housed their wedding and guests with a true southern elegance. Beyond the details and gorgeous decor, their wedding day was so special because friends and family came from all over the United States to celebrate this couple, & I could definitely feel the love in the air! What a privilege to capture such beautiful moments!
