Congratulations, Frances & Tony!














The Ritz-Carlton, Reynolds Plantation on Lake Oconee was the beautiful setting for Frances and Tony's wedding on the lawn. We have been dreaming of this one for months now and it was better than we had expected. Sarah and her staff did an excellent job making it all work despite the week long rain forecast. Fortunately, all of the rain passed to the north of us leaving the nice clouds and sunshine.






































Frances was such a lovely bride with her radiant smile. It was hard to catch her without her smile. Tony was smiling also since the rehearsal on Friday...we knew this was going to be fun!




















The manicured lawn and courtyard of the resort set a beautiful stage for the ceremony.






















































Lisa has taught me that some of the most joyful photographs are just after the ceremony. A sigh of relief and excitement saying "We did it!" is captured.















Several meetings with Frances let us know that they loved being photographed as much as we love taking the photographs. We had visited the resort in February and had discussed many ideas with Frances for the newlywed photographs.






















































In the courtyard the guests enjoyed the reception dinner and dancing.



















With a sparkler send off, their new life as husband and wife begins.













Congratulations, Frances and Tony! And thank you for allowing us to be a part of your family!Randy
