Alyssa + Conor’s wedding day at Magnolia Plantation was absolutely amazing. I knew that Alyssa + her mother had put a lot of thought and effort into the design and logistics of the day, but when I saw it all come to life it was better than I ever could’ve imagined. Luckily, Tropical Storm Bonnie moved out of the area earlier that morning and it actually didn’t rain at all once things got going. Alyssa + Conor shared a beautiful First Look in Flowerdale garden, followed by some portraits together before meeting up with their bridal party. Guests started to arrive and excitement started to build… before we knew it, Alyssa + Conor were saying their vows to each other under an amazing huppah that was covered in flowers and featured her grandfather’s tallit draped overhead. This was an extremely special element of the day, as this specific tallit was smuggled out of Austria as her grandfather escaped the Nazis and it was also used when Alyssa + her brother were bar and bat mitzvahed. So sweet.
One of my favorite details from the day came in the form of dessert. Not only did they have beautiful hand-painted macaroons customized with their initials + their wedding parties names… but they also had cookies made in the image of their 3 beloved cats! SO CUTE!!!
Following cocktail hour, Alyssa + Conor shared their First Dance in front of the main house at Magnolia Plantation as their guests held sparklers around them. I LOVED this unique idea to incorporate sparklers earlier in the day! Guests enjoyed delicious southern fare before the party really got started with the Hora! I love this fun tradition because it really gets everyone out on the dance floor. All in all, it was a spectacular day and I couldn’t be more excited for Alyssa + Conor. Here are some of my favorites from their beautiful wedding at the Veranda at Magnolia Plantation…

I love it when my couples opt to do an engagement session with me before their wedding day. While it’s by no means necessary, I always really love getting to know my couples before the wedding day – and I also love being able to take some epic photos of them during this special time […]
From the very first time I spoke with Caroline, I knew that her wedding day was going to be so special. With just their immediate families in attendance, Caroline + Kevin’s day was centered around family – and they wanted to begin their life together surrounded by the people who love them the most in […]
Lauren + Matt are the embodiment of pure, unfiltered JOY. The way these two look at each other. The way they smile from ear to ear when they are next to each other. Absolute, contagious, electric joy. I truly feel so lucky to have been in the presence of their love. It’s a love that […]
In May, I headed to Atlanta for Lynsey + Tyler’s romantic wedding at Summerour Studio. I knew their wedding weekend was going to be special and it absolutely was! Their celebration started with a beautiful rehearsal dinner at the Peachtree Club, overlooking the city. It was so great to meet all of their VIP’s the […]
I first met Tori back in 2016 when I photographed her older sister Kiersten’s wedding.

Legacy clients are so special and the Stolen family means so much to me. They […]
When I first spoke to Elizabeth last June, I knew that her wedding day was going to be something special.

Elizabeth wanted […]
