Atlanta is known for Coca-cola, the Georgia Bulldogs, and Falcons so the color scheme was easy – red & white! Here in Georgia, we also love the outdoors, running barefoot and our little sundresses. The inspiration for this shoot was to take the vintage concept of carnival kissing booths and old coke bottles and recreate them with a bit of whimsy in one of my favorite fields. We started with straight letters on the booth but a gust of wind knocked the letters crooked and I thought it just really added character. The lighting was perfect and the couple was so natural. Very little posing or direction was given. Samantha was the one who took her shoes off and hopped up on the picnic table. Jared with his five o’clock shadow, button down with the rolled sleeves, and big smile just screams southern boy. The whole session took less than 45 minutes to shoot because they made it so easy – laughing and having a great time!

From My Simply Perfect Weddings and Events…

Jordan & Sharly were married at the Old Fourth Ward Park in Atlanta, GA.
This is actually their second wedding.  They got married in a traditional Indian ceremony in July when most of Sharly’s family was in from out of town visiting.
For this wedding, they wanted the ceremony to really reflect their personalities.  No frills but a little funky with style.  When discussing the reception food, the picnic idea was thrown around a bit.  The suggestion was to make the food inside the baskets somewhat fancy in order to fit the feel of a wedding.  They had gourmet sandwiches with chips and fruit, and bottled sodas.  It was an absolute HIT with the guests.
Jordan & Sharly opted out of having a traditional wedding cake and felt that cupcakes would be the way to go.  While the guests were dancing, they were able to enjoy gourmet Popsicles from the King of Pops
Congratulations to Jordan & Sharly!
