From the first time I met Jennifer & her family at the consultation, there was an instant connection! I just loved them so much and have looked forward to helping them capture the beauty of her wedding day & Jennifer’s love for Brian. We had such a great engagement session (they got INTO a body of water– how awesome are they?!) that I already knew the wedding would be fabulous! We had so much fun with their portraits & everything just fell into place so naturally.
This pretty wedding took place at Alvaton Banquet Hall in August, and with an outdoor ceremony, you never know what the weather is going to look like! Luckily it was not scorching hot like every other day leading up to it! Brian & Jennifer did a first look before the ceremony, so we were able to get all the group portraits early in the day, and we focused on just the couple’s portraits following the ceremony while the guests enjoyed cocktail hour. I’m so glad we could do this, because the light was just beautiful at that time of day!!
Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Elliotte! I know you have a blessed future ahead of you! Enjoy some my favorites from the wedding…

I LOVE Catholic ceremonies! …Partly because you can be guaranteed a nice air-conditioned spot during the ceremony… but let’s face it, I really love ALL weddings, including those hot-outdoor-ones-in-the-perfect-late-afternoon-light, so it’s all good! You’ll always find me shooting with a big smile on my face! This pretty June wedding ceremony & reception was held at the gorgeous St. George Catholic Church in Newnan, GA. My favorite feature was the beautiful ivy-laden walkway, which we utilized for many of the bright afternoon portraits. AND, it was an extra lucky day! It poured down rain, but only for a few minutes during the (indoor) ceremony! I think that’s the best time to have rain on your wedding day!
Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs. Morris! You are SUCH a sweet couple, and I hope you have many, many, many years of happiness!

Hi Everyone! I think June is officially wedding month, so of course I have another beautiful wedding to blog! This is a family I have known & loved for several years, now! I had the pleasure of meeting the McCords four years ago when photographing one of Debbie’s daughter’s weddings at Wendell Coffee Golf & Event Center. It was a beautiful place to get married, but Debbie said her daughters had very different personalities. That was evident in every rustic-chic detail of Amanda & Drew’s rustic/vintage/burlap inspired wedding day– from the gorgeously decorated outdoor ceremony with church pews & curtains to the indoor barn reception at Sunny D Farms (and may I add– it was air conditioned! That’s a big woohoo! for those warm June weddings)! It was such a beautiful setting and there were so many pretty details, so I just had to share them with you. I hope you enjoy looking through some of my favorite portraits from the day. Congratulations and many blessings to the new Mr. & Mrs. Young! xo- Chey

I’m so excited to share this beautiful outdoor barn wedding that took place in October. The weather was perfect that day, which you always hope for when having an outdoor wedding! The whole event took place on private property out in Brooks, GA, with the fabulous help of The Funky Shack & The Fancy Type Company. I have never seen so many tiny (& large) details put together for a wedding, and it really made the venue! Lauren & Ryan are another wonderful couple I get to say I had the pleasure to photograph, and it was so much fun helping them capture their big day! Lauren’s mom Sharon has also been my hairdresser since I started dating my husband almost 10 year ago, and she did all the fabulous dos for the bridal party. Check out the all the details & some of my favorite portraits below!
Adam & Beth were married on what you would think would be a brisk February day, but luckily in Georgia, it was pretty nice weather for a wedding! Because it was a beautiful sunny day, we were able to get a lot of outdoor shots, which is a must at Flat Creek Country Club in Peachtree City! The beautiful ceremony was set up indoors in the main ballroom, and I loved how they utilized the reception seating for the ceremony seating as well. The bride wore a Casablanca gown from one of my favorite shops J. Andrew’s, and the veil was handmade by Adam’s mom! Hope you enjoy the images! Check Smug Mug in the next couple days for ALL the images!
Talk about beautiful weddings… this was one of the most gorgeous ones I’ve had the opportunity to shoot! Desiree & Nick were married on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in October, surrounded by so many of their loving family & friends in the perfect setting. I loved working with the ladies of Victoria Belle, and could really tell they had wedding coordination down to a science. They made the day flow so smoothly! Another thing that makes the day flow well is a talented makeup artist who can get the girls all looking beautiful on time! Jaime Marsau certainly did that! The flowers were done by another one of my favorite vendors– Details of the Garden, and were beautiful as always. The wedding cake & even the groom’s Auburn cake was nice, which is saying a lot since I am an UGA alum! (See bridesmaid/cake shot, haha)
Kidding aside, this couple is absolutely fabulous, & I wish Nick & Desiree the best & brightest future! Congratulations to you two, & thank you so much for entrusting these special moments with me!

Jesse and Ashley… what can I say? They are just too cute (even for Tech fans, haha). They got married in my favorite month of the year– June– which happens to be my birthday month! It could have been a little cooler, but that’s what happens in the Summer months in Georgia! We got through the outdoor wedding with no one passing out (woohoo!), and were able to get some really great portraits before going inside to enjoy the fun reception in the air conditioning! Enjoy a little preview of the wedding images to come! Congratulations Ashley & Jesse!

Oh, I am SO excited to share some of my favorite images with you from Justin & Lindsey’s breath-taking May wedding! Lindsey was a gorgeous bride in a J. Andrew’s gown, and everyone at the wedding was so much fun! I especially loved working with the coordinator Terri Dumas throughout the day, as she had a lot of running around to do and remained upbeat and ever so helpful! Their wedding ceremony was held outdoors in the amphitheatre of Dolce in Peachtree City, and the reception was in the Grand Ballroom next to the ceremony. There were so many great portraits, but I had to narrow it down to these! Enjoy!
