It's hard for me to even begin to describe Taylor & Chase's wedding day. Usually it is fairly easy for me to pull favorite image from a day, but this one is so close to my heart that it has taken me months to even choose. Taylor & Chase put so much purpose behind planning their wedding. After becoming engaged, Taylor and Chase knew they both wanted an intimate celebration with their closet friends and family. Santa Rosa Beach was a natural choice, since both their families love to vacation there. Taylor loves meaningful details and infused that love into so many aspects of their day. Taylor’s Mom and family created the stunning family style table set up on the lawn adjacent to the beach. They filled the tables with Taylor’s favorite muted colored oysters (a nod to the seaside theme), a plethora of candles and handmade arrangements. Guest signed two boat oars that they will keep in their home. Even the officiant was Taylor and Chase’s good friend and Taylor’s old soccer coach.

Mallory & Kevin wed on a beautiful New Year's Eve in one of the most romantic of destinations, Charleston South Carolina. Everything about their details suited them to a T. Their engagement was photographed at the elegant Swan House Mansion in Atlanta, so it made perfect sense for them to have an equally stunning location for their nuptials. They couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day in the South. It was relatively warm for Winter and perfectly sunny. After enjoying time with their friends and bridal party, they had an intimate first look in Charleston's iconic Battery Park. They chose a palate of grays and neutrals with soft pink to compliment the classic black-tie affair. Lauren from A Fox Event designed luscious peony bouquets that looked stunning with the bridesmaids peplum-waited gowns. Of course Mallory looked effortlessly classic in her lace wedding gown and fur capelet. Of course, what better backdrop than Charleston's quaint corners and cobblestone streets? After beautiful afternoon trapping along the historic roads, they said their vows in an old, stately church downtown and celebrated until the New Year in a gorgeous ballroom. Leaving in an old 1957 Bentley was the perfect ending to their grand celebration.

There is just something magical about the sweet little in-between moments on a wedding day...

With Winter in full swing, I can't help but dream of warm Summer days. I love every season, but my heart is always drawn back to the tones of the brightest season.
