Christina & Sunil | Hotel Georgia Wedding

Christina & Sunil are one of those couples that you are so glad to know. In fact, I know I am a better person just for having met them. They are just SO NICE and so wonderful to be around.

They were married last month at the always stunning Rosewood Hotel Georgia, planned beautifully by Filosophi.  It's an honor to be part of each and every wedding I photograph, but there was something extra special about this day... this couple... this group of family and friends.

Christina & Sunil, I feel so lucky to have gotten to know you this past year. May the rest of your years together be filled with joy and love and laughter! xoxo

Libby & Cory | Rosewood Hotel Georgia

11.11.11  What a beautiful wedding to officially end my wedding season! Taking place at the recently opened Rosewood Hotel Georgia, the wedding was simple and yet classy, with details in all the right places. I've always said that what matters most on your wedding day is the people that surround you. Libby and Cory's wedding was the perfect example. I heard some of the most touching speeches, and by far the most hilarious. I love the numerous references to Cory's attempts in winning Libby over... and I think everyone would agree, not only was it worth the effort in the end, but they truly are the perfect match. Watching this incredible couple over the course of the day was so touching.

Thank you Cory and Libby! You are both so wonderful! Much love... xoxo

Jared & Raj | Stunning Wedding @ Rosewood Hotel Georgia

You would never know it by all the incredible details, but this was a rather last minute wedding. With only 3 months to plan it in order to time it with a visit from Raj's family from London, everything had to fall into place perfectly... which it did. From the stunning new Rosewood Hotel Georgia venue opening its doors just in time, to finding the perfect ring, the ideal dress, and an amazing cake artist... it was meant to be.

I fell in love with Jared and Raj instantly. Raj has such a blinding beauty made even moreso by her easy laugh and loving demeanor. Jared has this amazing quality of making everyone feel welcome, and under his laid back attitude is a man that gets the job done without missing a beat... all with a sparkle in his eye. They are incredible people apart... but it is blatantly obvious, they are so much better together.

Jared and Raj, I can't tell you what an honor it was to share in your day, to help capture memories that marks the beginning of a new life together. And what a wonderful life it will be...  xoxo

Beautiful earrings by one of my favorite designers, Elsa Corsi!

One of the most unique custom designed rings I've seen. Stunning!

Ummmm.... speechless.

Rosewood Hotel Georgia had so many great vignettes to photograph in...

Unfortunately, Raj's father fell sick only the week before, and in turn, her parents couldn't attend the wedding. Instead, her brother and sister walked her down the aisle.

Raj, Jared and Sianne performed a sand ceremony symbolizing the joining of two families into one.

Hands down, one of my favorites...

Now this is a gorgeous couple. Wow.

I love this bathtub series. How could we not, right?

The new Ballroom is beyond gorgeous.

And now to one of my favorite parts of the evening. The dancing! This was an especially terrific dancing group, starting off with the Hora. I could have watched this all night!
