Taffy and Andrew Married at Hopeland Gardens in Aiken, South Carolina

I knew I would like Andrew when we met at Starbucks and he got the largest frappuccino they offer! Little did I know how much I would come to love this couple! We had the best time at their Harlem, Georgia engagement session and have been really looking forward to this wedding! Taffy and Andrew are both teachers and decided to plan their wedding for summer break (this way they get to spend all summer together)! The location was set for the gorgeous Hopeland Gardens in Aiken, South Carolina and the reception was planned for next door at the Rye Patch. This past Saturday was gorgeous and not too hot! I had the best time hanging out with Taffy and her wonderful bridesmaids most of the early afternoon. My second shooter, Mandy, was able to hang out with the guys and make sure they were at the altar on time! Here are a few images that I got from the day! I can't wait to show everyone all the others! Please leave a comment for Andrew and Taffy and let them know what you think!

The girl that did Taffy's make-up, did an awesome job!

I love shoes....see my website Kimberly S. Busby Photography!

This dress was so gorgeous!

Taffy was beautiful and Megan did a great job.

Some of the bridesmaid putting on finishing touches

Taffy had her 3 sisters, 3 friends from college, and 1 friend from high school to stand by her side

Taffy wore her Grandmother's pearls

Taffy was one fierce bride!!

I love this image of everyone walking to the ceremony

Andrew waiting for his beautiful bride. One time during the reception I overheard Andrew talking to another gentleman at the wedding. I don't think Andrew knew I heard, but what I heard made my heart so happy and brought tears to my eyes. He sure does love his bride and does not have a problem telling anyone!

So happy I was able to photograph at such a beautiful location

Mr. and Mrs.

The guys having some fun with the bride!

The wedding party was so much fun!! Check out the ring bearer in the back!

Lovely first dance as husband and wife

The ring bearer and flower girl were too cute! Both of their momma's are expecting babies pretty soon and we wish them the best!

The girls sang "Total Eclipse of the Heart" to Andrew... it was great!

Tracey and Brent Married! Decatur, Georgia Wedding First Christian Church of Decatur and the Solarium

Tracey and Brent got married this past weekend (New Years Eve) in Decatur, Georgia. I have known Tracey for a few years, through college friends. This was such a fun filled weekend with tons of family and friends.

Tracey and Brent chose the First Christian Church of Decatur as their ceremony location. Brent's family has lots of history with the church and his parents and grandparents were married there. Tracey and Brent also share their wedding date with Tracey's mother and father.

Ok, now on to some pictures! This is their sneak peek and I will be working to get the rest ready for them to see!

Tracey and her bridesmaids at a luncheon the day before the wedding.

Tracey getting ready for the big day!

The bridesmaids were a big help, making sure Tracey was ready for the big day.

Sweet mother and daughter moment!

This bridal party was so much fun!

This is what happens when I say on the count of 3 do something crazy...

The men were very well behaved! They were a great group of guys to work with!

This is what happens when I say on the count of 3 do something crazy... I think

they were crazier than the girls!

I love this sweet moment before the ceremony. They did not want to see each other

at all, but were able to say hi and give a sweet hand squeeze.

Beautiful ceremony. The top picture is showing one of the best men, acting like he

couldn't find the rings!

Tracey had a lady bug on her veil (good luck), a little girl that was playing at a nearby park

wanted to

come see the princess, and Tracey had their wedding day engraved in Brent's ring

as a surprise!

Wonderful bridal party

Gorgeous church in Decatur, Georgia

They had some fun with their "cake cutting"

I thought there may be a fight for the bouquet!

I love this picture!! His face and then the 3 girls in the background!

Sweet moments as husband and wife

Everyone sent the couple off in New Years Eve style with sparklers and well wishes!

Don't mess with Texas, Cowboys, or Christopher!

Man love...too funny!

Brotherly love...even funnier

It was so sweet. Chris did not want to even see a glimpse of Ashley until she was headed down the aisle, so he stayed turned around until she was headed down the aisle. This is why I do what I do! I love the emotion, when the groom sees his bride for the first time.
