Raleigh NC Wedding Photographer

Lauren was truly a gift from the Lord! She said she found me on Google – which was pretty amazing for me, as I have worked hard to be found on Google, in Athens… I guess I’ll start over now that we’re in Raleigh ;)! The moment I met her at Jittery Joe’s to discuss her wedding details for this September at Lake Hartwell I knew she would be a perfect Bride for the AHatley Bride Family! She is always smiling and full of genuine joy! She is relaxed and truly just happy to marry her one true love!

Lauren and I have a lot of things in common. Her Birthday is also June 29  (just one month away.. but I stop counting these days;)!). And unfortunately, she also lost her Dad to cancer and shares the heartache of not having him to walk her down the aisle but the joy of the special memories they did have together. I was so happy to share the ways I honored my Dad at my wedding with her when she asked that it inspired me to write a blog post about it HERE. It was really special for me to share my experience with someone who truly understood. She walked away feeling like I was meant to be her photographer which was so sweet, but what she didn’t know is that I walked away feeling so blessed to have just met someone with a similar experience. I am truly so honored to be capturing this special day for this adorable couple!

Jeremy is a fantastic golfer and can make Lauren giggle unlike anyone else, I’m sure of it after their engagement session. He was so supportive of engagement pictures and even gave me some ideas that he wanted — especially when it came to the golf course location ;)!

I met Lauren and Jeremy at the Georgia Club where they picked me up on a golf cart and we rode around to the best spots just at sunset. We definitely took advantage of the golden hour and loved every minute of it. I might have enjoyed riding a golf cart more than actually taking photos 😉 jk. But really.. this session, it was unique. My Dad loved golf and he was so good at it. It was so sweet to be on a golf course again, doing what I love, where my Dad did what he loved. Another gentle reminder of the precious grace I constantly receive.

Lauren and Jeremy – you are one of a kind. So sweet. So loving and full of joy! I am beyond excited for September!!

xoxo
