well folks, the second print issue of SOUTHERN WEDDINGS MAGAZINE is out on the stands now! the magazine launch party was last friday + it was great to finally meet the new SW girls and give lara a big ole' southern congratulatory hug! here's a few spreads featuring some of our images....

thanks so much to our amazing couples: jennie + alec, micki + jason, carrie + rusty and meredith + danny! and to the SW team! xo, cristen + scott

liz + chad. love these two. love how we truly felt like longtime friends of theirs just after the initial phone chats. love their merriment about the photography for their wedding. love how when we met with chad [liz works out of town] that he brought his laptop loaded with photos of his beloved so we could 'meet' her, too. love that they wanted an adventure through north georgia in the fall for the session. love that they are getting married at serenbe. love to now share a few of our favorites...

liz + chad we can't wait until may 29th! thanks for being so amazing. xo, cristen + scott

happy friday everyone! what a great wedding we have to share today! kayte + david were married october 4th at king plow arts center. of course bold american was on hand for florals + catering [we love bold!] i've got more details to share along the way but let me get on to the images since this is a gigantic post!

kayte's dress was a custom melissa sweet gown and the best part is that she had them create pockets for her...anyone that knows me, knows i'm partial to dresses with pockets : ) and the kate spade shoes were this really pretty iridescent color!

kayte looked absolutely stunning!

all the girls had these wonderful handmade hair pieces from house of tesla

david is such a cool guy + if you ever need to know anything about good wine or champagne, he is your guy! you would not believe the selections that had flowing at the reception.

kayte commissioned courtney j. garrett to create a painting for david + he commissioned john tindle to create a piece for kayte. so sweet

kayte used oil painting tubes for the place cards for guests...love this idea since the venue is an art gallery

congrats again kayte + david! thanks for being so cool + completely appreciating our vision + for having such an awesome wedding infused with so much of your personalities! big thanks to adam, too! xo, cristen + scott

when adam + i first met with kim + rett a few months ago we knew they were going to be a fun couple to work with. kim actually is friends with one of our previous clients + you all know how we love to work with friends of our past wedding couples! adam headed out on a sunny october afternoon with the two of them for their engagement session + here's a few we're loving....

thanks again for a fantastic e-session kim + rett! we're excited about your wedding in april! xo, cristen + adam
