Amy & Nate are married!!! {Georgia Wedding Photographer}

It's been about 2 weeks since Amy and Nate tied the knot! It was a GORGEOUS day for a wedding! It was a little warmer than anticipated, but truthfully we couldn't have asked for a nicer day.  I think I've said this before, but just to catch everyone up to speed, Amy is April's sister. If you follow my blog at all, you have seen April and her 2 cutie pie kids a time or 2. :)  As soon as Amy told her family she and Nate were engaged, I had a text from April telling me to block that day off! And I do mean as soon as...lol  If you know April, you know how serious that statement is! lol 
I was thrilled to capture this day for Amy and Nate! I had been introduced to this family at various birthday parties but hadn't had the chance to really spend one on one time with any of them, so I was excited to get to know them all. I mean, I love April so how could her family not rock!? Guess what? They do! Amy and Nate came to Saint Simons for their engagement session. If you  haven't seen those images, you should. They are breathtaking!! Knowing what awesome images we captured at that session, I knew their wedding would be the same. It was a small ceremony and reception held at Amy's home. She has the most beautiful home! I was mega envious!!  Nate's dad conducted the ceremony. It was so sweet and personal! Most of the family hadn't met before this so he made a point to explain each person as they performed their part in the ceremony. Might be overkill to some, but I thought it was perfect!  Nate's dad also gave them the sweetest wedding gift I've ever seen. It was so awesome, in fact, that both April and Ashleigh (sisters!!lol) had gotten to me to make sure I knew the significance of it. :)  He gave them a Bible. A Bible that had been his for forever! He had written all sorts of special events, notes, thoughts, etc in this Bible. Pretty much a journal of his life was contained in this Bible. Precious can't even explain this gift. Definitely a one of a kind gift from the heart....so sweet!
Amy and Nate, your special day was perfect!! Amy was calm and beautiful. Nate was happy and handsome. The families were so sweet and kind and really had a great time getting to know each other as they shared this day with Amy and Nate....so, without further ramblings from the photographer, enjoy this sneak peek into their day!
Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Church!
