{Featured}: Southern Weddings V4 – Natalia & Levi

Rewind back to April…it was a beautiful spring day in Georgia. Natalia & Levi were tying the knot at the beautiful Tucker Plantation in Colbert, Georgia. I often ask my clients to send me a list of important details to capture during the wedding day, and Natalia was no different…she sent me a LONG list of special details that she wanted captured. It really wasn’t until I arrived that I realized how much love and attention went into each and every detail. Upon entering the old, brick barn and looking around…only one thought came to mind…THE LADIES AT SOUTHERN WEDDINGS WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS WEDDING! It was almost like I was physically “in” the new issue of Southern Weddings already. This was THE most “Southern” wedding I had ever photographed, and I just had to immediately send it to SW.

So, it was no surprise when the gals at SW happily and enthusiastically accepted the wedding! I did the happy dance, and scream in my car…I think people thought I was crazy. I also immediately emailed Natalia to give her the good news and she was beyond thrilled…maybe even more excited than I was!

Natalia and Levi and their families created a very special wedding day and every detail, every moment was a labor of love. Signs and banners and votive holders were all handmade with care and reflected Natalia & Levi’s style perfectly. You’ll just have to take a look at the images to see all the yummy eye-candy. Full posts of their entire wedding will be coming soon to the Southern Weddings website, so stay tuned!
