Katie & Steve | Ritz Carlton Lodge Wedding Photography

This could be the sappiest blog post ever... but I'll refrain myself. It is just that Steve and Katie are so much in love and their families and friends were so supportive and loving that no matter what or where they had gotten married, it would have been ridiculously fabulous.

It feels always like such a blessing to be witness to such a time in my client's lives.

But enough blurb... we all know that is not my strong suit :)

And let's see some of their images.

Just one shot of the rehearsal dinner which took place at The Landing at Reynolds Plantation. Beautiful setting, don't you think?

The reception and ceremony took place at The Ritz-Carlton Lodge at Reynolds Plantation. The girls got ready in one of the suites.

The guys were getting ready on a suite on the opposite side of the building.
I love how they are all trying to figure out how to tie their bow-ties.

Katie & Steve decided to meet before the ceremony. This was the most emotional and intimate moment ever. They were both so excited, happy and anxious to see each other.

Steve gave Katie a card and they stopped and read it right there, together... with tears in their eyes (and mine).

Then we took some photos of just the two of them...

Right before the ceremony Katie got her veil on...

The ceremony was by the lake, on the lawn of the Lodge.

Nothing like the precision with which service comes out.

And they had Moxie as their band for lots of entertainment.

Thanks Katie & Steve for letting us be a part of this time in your lives.
I loved working with you, your families and friends and look forward to seeing more of you soon.
