Hannah + Wes | A Chattooga Belle Farm Wedding

It was a day that so many had been anticipating.  The weather was beyond beautiful, everything was coming together just right, and Ben and I could not have been more thrilled to be there to celebrate and document this incredible day.

Hannah was stunningly beautiful… and as Wes’s sister was placing the flower crown on Hannah’s head, I almost felt like we were at her coronation.  She was absolutely regal in that moment.

As gorgeous as Hannah was, Wes was just as ruggedly handsome, and neither one could contain their excitement that this day was here!!  You’ll probably be able to easily tell from the photos, but I hardly had to pose them at all.  They were just ready for their adventure as husband and wife to begin!

Surrounded by their community, by friends and family that have played such huge parts in their lives individually and together, they pledged to put God first, live life together, and choose to love each other for the rest of their lives.

It was extremely difficult to narrow these down so this may be my longest wedding blog post ever.  Although, once you see how gorgeous their day was, I don’t think you’re going to mind!

Hannah & Wes… thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey and for choosing us to document your day!  God has done so much in and through both of you since I first met you when you guys were in high school and I can’t wait to see how He continues to use you.  Love you both!

I was in love with her dress the moment I saw it…

And the wrap!!  It just completed her entire look.

Hannah and Wes are adventurers. So it was only fitting she wore chacos under her dress :-)
