It’s my favorite time of year!! MARRY Christmas to all my couples! <–see what I did there? hehehe

I know we are in the last stretch of the Christmas Countdown, but I thought everyone could use a break from all that Christmas Cheer! So, y’all remember Winola and Marcus, right?? Β They are such a fun couple, and I’m sooooooooo glad I was there to photograph them starting their life together! <3

A couple of things to mention for their wedding photos! The dΓ©cor in this wedding was amazing! Just the right amount of bling and sparkle! Feathers, glitter, gold…oh my! It was a Great Gatsby dream! Winola, that birdcage was on point!!Β Winola and Marcus decided on a first look, which I am always pro-first look….They also did an alternative to the typical sparkler exit with some streamer popper things. I will say that these were definitely easier clean up than sparklers and much safer because you don’t have a bunch of drunk people playing with fireworks. This is a pretty good alternative to sparklers if your venue is not cool with them. Hey, I’m all about giving couples options. Also, they had a second shooter with their package, and I think Katie was able to get some cool views of the ceremony from up in the balcony. πŸ™‚

But enough with the chit chat, let’s see the photos!

Their DJ had some pretty cool lights. Consider these cool swirly lights instead of those green dots. (Not a fan of the green dots. Like why is green even a color for a reception?? I guess I’m just partial to this pinky/purple color.) πŸ™‚
