“If it were just the two of us, we totally would have skydived and said our vows as we’re falling down!” Mary Beth said to me (Eileen) during her wedding photo premiere. She and Ben instead chose to honor their parents and families by having a local wedding at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia’s Day Chapel in Athens, Georgia. And while I’m sure it would have been an amazing adventure for the pair to say their wedding vows mid-air, I’m glad I got to witness their beautiful, southern elegant wedding! Still, that statement says a lot about her and Ben’s personalities. Their carefree spirits were evident throughout the whole planning process and during their entire wedding day as they made sure everyone was having a good time. Hands-down one of the most easygoing couples I’ve worked with! I feel blessed to have had their complete trust to capture their story and cannot wait to share these amazing details!
