Grace and Robert are getting married this weekend!  I'm looking forward to working with them - we had such fun at the engagement session.  I photographed their engagement session at The State Botanical Garden of Georgia in April.  The weather was just gorgeous!  Here are a few of my favorites from the day.I love red Japanese Maples, so I had to start with some photos in front of this one.  It was just a bonus that Grace has the most beautiful red hair, making the tree an even better background!We went into the shade garden, one of the quietest parts of the garden.Grace looked great in her sundress.After a quick change of clothes we headed into the main part of the Garden.  Look at all that lush greenery!Congratulations Grace and Robert!  See you two on Saturday.

Keri Beth and Jonathan are getting married this summer at Watkinsville First Baptist Church, with their reception at The Georgian in downtown Athens. Keri Beth and Jonathan, like many couples I work with, met online.  They are actually getting married on their second anniversary of their first date! They wanted an outdoorsy, country setting for their engagement session, so we started at The State Botanical Garden of Georgia then headed down Milledge Rd.  Below are some of my favorite photos of the day.I'm looking forward to the wedding, these two are such a fun couple!! www.CourtneyGoldman.com

I'm getting so excited about this weekend's wedding with Victoria and John!  It is going to be at The State Botanical Garden of Georgia, which is a favorite venue of mine.  The weather is supposed to be perfect -- sunny with a high of 70!  I realized that I hadn't blogged their engagement photos yet, and thought this would be a great time.  These photos were also taken at The Garden, but instead of the spring blooms we'll be seeing this weekend, there were gorgeous fall leaves.  Here are some of my favorites.
