Associate photographer Emily had the honor of photographing Kate + Stephen’s epic wedding last weekend. Why was it so epic, you ask? Well, for starters, they threw one of the largest weddings we’ve ever photographed with roughly 350 guests AND they had the largest bridal party we’ve ever photographed… 14 bridesmaids + 21 groomsmen!!! On top of that, they had Quiana Parler perform at their reception and she’s just the best of the best. I’m actually quite jealous that Emily got to cover this wedding instead of me because I LOOOOOOVE Quiana!!!
Their day started with a sweet First Look at Christ Church, followed by bridal party + family photos before their traditional ceremony. Everyone traveled from the church to The Cedar Room at the Cigar Factory, where they celebration went strong well into the night. The dance floor was so packed that Emily had to shoot most of the reception from the stage with the band!! The bride + groom crowd surfed, everyone had a blast, and at the end of the night, Kate + Stephen exited through a tunnel of sparklers before hopping into a pedi-cab. It was a truly EPIC wedding day!! Here are some of my favorites from Kate + Stephen’s wedding day…

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. She spoke about getting married in her hometown of Beaufort SC – first, a sweet ceremony at her local church, followed by a tented waterfront celebration filled with bright colors and palm accents. Elizabeth wanted […]
