Lynnette & Greg, Legacy Test Kitchen Ceremony

Lynnette and Greg reached out to me in January to help plan their two day wedding celebration. They'd have an intimate ceremony on Friday evening and a larger celebratory party on Saturday (to come in a later post). When their guest count for Friday came in around 30 people, I was excited to show them a venue I had visited months earlier acquired by Legacy Ventures that was simply perfect for their needs. Lynnette and Greg were set on the Legacy Test Kitchen from their initial visit as it was truly the ideal setting for their intimate ceremony and dinner.  

The evening was truly a beautiful event filled with incredible love and friendship. When we opened the floor for impromptu toasts during dinner, I'm not exaggerating when I say that half of their guests stood up and shared beautiful stories and words of love and support. There was so much personal thought that went into planning from their customized ceremony in which they mixed traditional and Jewish elements to Lynnette dazzling us all with her beautiful vocal talents. 

See all the vendors and some of my favorite photos from the evening below.

Jennifer & David, Roswell River Landing

From my very first meeting with Jennifer and David, I knew they'd be a joy to work with. They both have such an easygoing, genuine way about them that really made it a pleasure getting to know them and helping to guide them through their wedding planning and design.  It's no surprise that they would also have incredible friends and family! 

One of my favorite parts of the wedding day was just before the ceremony when David and his groomsmen prayed together in a tight circle. Come to find out after scrolling through photos, Jennifer and her maids were praying together almost at the exact same time as the men! The love that these friends share for one another was so easy to see throughout the evening in their heartfelt speeches, loving embraces and endless smiles.

So many incredible people same together to ensure their day was just as they had dreamed of from Jennifer's father building their arbor they married under to numerous wedding guests insistent upon staying to help clean up at the end of the evening!
