Ashley and Zack’s wedding at the Ritz-Carlton Lodge at Reynolds Plantation at Lake Oconee was a wedding we had looked forward to for many months.   Tiffany and I have felt like members of their family after photographing their engagement shoot, designing Save the Date cards for them, designing their formal wedding invitations and a creating a custom guest book with their favorite engagement images.  We love our wedding clients very much because we spend so much time with them before their wedding date,  every one of the weddings we photograph is very special to us. I met Ashley, Zack and her father a month earlier to do a walk though at The Ritz lodge, and as soon as I started talking about pictures the day of the wedding,  Ashley and her father both started crying so I knew if they were this emotional the month before the wedding then the day of the wedding we were going to get not only beautiful wedding images at this amazing wedding, but lots of emotion that we love to capture. So we set up a very special moment for Mr Ardd to see his daughter, Ashley, for the first time all dressed up and in her wedding dress on the Big Day. Then you can see in the fun images of Ashley and the bridesmaids laughing and jumping on the bed below that they were also going to have a great time.  Yes the day of the wedding rained a large amount of the time, but we used the windows of no rain to take them outside and capture the outdoor images we needed, so mother nature was on our side when we needed her to help us out.   The reception was stunning from the decor to the flowers, but the best part was how much fun everybody had.  I want to also do a big shout out to the incredible vendors at their wedding.
