This is my last post on Nicole and Tyler's Wedding at The Taylor Grady House. I know I've mentioned the rain a lot, and hate to dwell on it, but it really was the theme of the party... well, the rain not winning was the theme! Too much water came into the tent, and the band had to stop playing for safety reasons (note to future brides, if you have a stage, the band can usually keep going...) but the party in no way stopped. With the sound system from the ceremony and an ipod, the dancing began!My favorite part of the dancing was this hat. Whoever put it on became a dancing machine!Nicole and Tyler's friends were awesome. Not only did they have a great time at the wedding, celebrating with the couple, they also were so helpful to me! During the garter toss, Tyler's friend Noah held an umbrella over me so I could get photos without the camera getting wet, and another friend held an umbrella for Nicole!Look at the height Nicole got on the bouquet toss!Congratulations Tyler and Nicole!www.CourtneyGoldman.com

Their baker Susan Hodges makes the perfect wedding cake - both phenomenally beautiful, and absolutely mouth-watering. This one was white cake with strawberry filling - or at least the layer I had a piece from was!There was a brief power outage within the tent, so I got this shot of the Japanese lantern and the rain outside the tent. One more post from this wedding to come... the dancing!
Nicole and Tyler's Wedding Ceremony at The Taylor Grady House in Athens
Nicole and Tyler had planned on an outside wedding, but the rain didn't allow for that. Luckily, the interior of The Taylor Grady House is beautiful, and a perfect backdrop for their lovely, romantic ceremony. The magnificent floral arrangements were created by European Floral Design.Tyler was a little "turned around" when he entered for the ceremony. He started off on the bride's side! Luckily, his best men were there to help him out.I love this moment between Tyler and his dad!The elegant bride walking down the aisle with her father.Are they a happy couple or what?Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Evans!
Nicole and Tyler's Wedding at The Taylor Grady House in Athens
What a crazy, fun, rainy wedding Nicole and Tyler had last Saturday! An outdoor wedding in the spring in Georgia can be beautiful. There are so many colorful trees and flowers blooming, and the weather can be just perfect. On the other hand, it could rain -- and rain it did! And the rain brought with it some other problems. But what didn't it do? It didn't make the wedding any less special. It didn't slow the party down. And it didn't stop us from getting outdoor photos - on the porch of The Taylor Grady House!I love these shoes that Nicole wore with her wedding dress. Not only are they beautiful, they had great padding inside! Nicole was definitely thinking ahead, and she didn't have to trade beauty for comfort - she found them both.Getting all the buttons done up on the dress is not a one person task.The gorgeous flowers were done by the amazing Maggie over at European Floral Design.Nicole and her MamaWe still got the photos with the flowering trees in the background! And is Nicole stunning, or what?!The men - looking great in their suits from Perno's Formal Wear.And Tyler - a handsome, and happy groom! More to come...
