Wedding at the lake in Atlanta, Georgia

Lakefront Wedding wrapped in Love

There was something beautifully grounding about Hazel and Drei’s wedding by the lake in Georgia. From the moment we arrived, it felt like the mountains, the quiet water, and the soft spring air were all working together to hold the day gently in place.

The morning started with laughter echoing through the cabins as everyone got ready, robes swaying, glasses clinking, and small details carefully placed for the day ahead. Their florals brought a soft, romantic touch to the natural landscape, blending effortlessly with the greens that surrounded the venue.

As guests began to arrive, the ceremony space looked timeless: chairs lined by the water, subtle décor guiding the way, and a setting planned with intention so Hazel and Drei could simply be present. Their vows were intimate, emotional, and met with the kind of support that only comes from a family truly invested in their happiness.

Watching them walk toward their ceremony was unforgettable. It wasn’t just a beautiful moment, it was a quiet celebration of love lived openly and proudly. You could feel the emotion in every hug, every tear, every smile. For many, it was a reminder that their love has been shaped not only by tenderness, but also by courage.

During the reception, handwritten details and personalized touches gave every table a sense of meaning. Their cake stood beautifully under the tent, and the energy picked up quickly, music spilling across the lawn, friends pulling them onto the dance floor, and the photobooth capturing moments that were equal parts funny and heartfelt.

What stayed with us the most was how held they were, by their families, by their friends, and by the love they have spent years building. It was quiet, joyful, deeply sincere… a day where documenting felt more like witnessing something precious.
