Kim & Gabe - An Uptown Wedding

Kim and Gabe's engagement session was at Piedmont Park last fall. They told us that one of their favorite pastimes was to have lunch in the park. Armed with a complete picnic setup and several clothing changes, we hit the park early. 

 

 On wedding day, Lisa met the bridal party at Dry Bar in Buckhead for the hair and makeup.

I met Gabe at The Historic Academy of Medicine in Midtown Atlanta, the venue for this exciting wedding.

When you enter the main doors your eyes are taken high to the chandelier which claims it's fame from it's role in the movie "Gone with the Wind."

I also made the rehearsal the night before to get my light readings and photo angles for the big day where Gabe graciously gave me a full tour of this great venue.

The paper flower bouquet was new to me. Just like the engagement session, Lisa and I saw how every detail had been carefully planned and we were very impressed.

The couple had also planned a "first look" meeting before the ceremony in order to allow more time for photos. The first look went just as planned in the courtyard.

 

And since they are both recent graduates of Georgia Tech, we all took a quick walk for a must-have photo.

 

 

Of course, there is always time for the "Abbey Road" shot.

 

 

 

 

A box contained puzzle pieces where each guest wrote a memorable note to the couple. The puzzle was assembled at the end of the night to reveal our engagement photo.

 

 

 

As they made their way through the sparkler parade, I was asked to follow them to a favorite hangout on Peachtree Road.

 

 

I had to make a few stops along the way.

 

A wonderful December wedding in Uptown Atlanta! We cannot say enough good things about the staff of The Academy of Medicine. It was our first experience here and we are looking forward to working here again soon!
