a marriage just started
This was a day slated for rain. Unending downpours are what had been projected for the previous two weeks. But by the time Penny and Dylan were ready to walk down the aisle of their church and exchange vows, the clouds cleared out and the sun shone brightly over their intimate wedding at Faith Lutheran…
Read MoreAfter weeks of rain and drizzle, the skies cleared up and the sun shone over Ashley + Garrett’s wedding day at Primrose Cottage.

It was drizzly on and off throughout this wedding day, which forced the ceremony and reception inside of the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center. The locals in the art center already embraced the rain.
