Amanda Jane Salon finished the girls early so they decided to head over to the reception for some pre-ceremony dance time. How awesome is that?!

How did you feel when you saw each other for the first time on the wedding day?

"I had butterflies! We were excited and filled with joy. All anxious feelings about the day fled at that moment. An overwhelming sense of peace came over us as we both knew and have always known that this was the day we were waiting for. The day that God would have us join as one."

"We would not change one thing!"

The Grand Magnolia House - Georgia Weddings

The Grand Magnolia House

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to photograph a styled type shoot for an awesome new venue in Marshallville, Georgia. It's about 10 minutes from the Georgia National Fairgrounds if that helps;) We wanted to do a shoot that shows the different areas of the house.

I'm really excited about this venue because it's gorgeous inside and out, the owners are super great and it's got this true southern charm to it that I just love.

Off to the side of the yard they have some really cool bamboo. I love it!

This swing is located in the back of the house. How awesome is that?!

One thing I love about photographing venues is capturing how different it looks at different times of day. I'm posting three so you can see how it changes.

Macon Georgia Photographer - Katie + Raynor

Katie + Raynor

Location: Macon, Georgia

How did y'all meet?

"We met through Facebook. Raynor had gotten his friends Mom to ask my Mom about me too. That prompted me to accept his friend request and almost immediately he sent me a message asking how it was possible we had never met. A week later we went on our first date and have been happily together ever since."

What is your favorite thing about your bride?

"How caring, thoughtful, and giving she is. She's the easiest person to love that I've ever met, which is why I fell for her on our first date. Her beautiful blue eyes helped with that too!"

What is your favorite thing about your groom?

"I love everything about Raynor. I think the thing I appreciate most about him is how caring he is. He reminds me daily how loved I am and is my listening ear at the end of the day. He has shown me what a true gentleman is. And he keeps me laughing, all the time. Sweet, handsome, romantic, and funny - what more could you ask for?!!"

What a great way to finish an engagement session! They had drinks at their favorite spot downtown Macon, the Rookery!
