If you're a regular reader, you may notice that a couple of things look a little familiar about this post and you're right! You guys saw Lisa & Nathan's engagement photos a few months back - that's one thing.  And, our last wedding (with Nan and David) was at the same location. We shot two weddings in a row at Graystone Presbyterian Church, one on Saturday and one on Sunday... No, we didn't spend the night in the balcony but that probably wouldn't have been a bad idea!! :) Lol.

I feel like I'm saying this all the time about our clients, and I really feel this way -- Lisa & Nathan are just awesome!! I don't know why but I really think we have the best clients out there! I just love being around Lisa & Nathan. On top of being super nice and a lot of fun, they are totally hilarious together --- and the way that Nathan looks at Lisa is just...well...you'll see...;)

Nathan wrote Lisa a multi page letter on notebook paper (such a sweetheart guy thing to do!) the morning of the wedding. Here is (gorgeous) Lisa reading it.

I just love black & white wedding photos, don't you?

Lisa & Nathan's wedding was all about family. There were at least 6 kids in the wedding including Nathan's two sons below who are ADORABLE!! We were all standing outside taking pics and someone pulled up and said 'Hi' to the two boys. One of them was so excited he said, "Hey, look we're in tuxsoodies!!!" It was the cutest thing ever and I'm still smiling about it.

This is to set you up for the next picture. Here is Lisa coming down the aisle...

Dan caught a lot of really sweet moments in their ceremony, like this one of Lisa and Nathan taking communion and having a private moment together.

Nan and David's wedding was our first ever morning wedding and it was such a delight. Those are strong words coming from self-proclaimed night owls such as ourselves! And how could it not be totally our pleasure when you arrive to a smile such as this:

Nan & David's wedding & reception was planned to the 'T' by (the wonderful) Donna Jacobs. You know you are a good wedding planner when the father of the bride is thanking you in his welcome to the reception speech! We have worked with Donna before and she not only makes the wedding events run perfectly smooth, she has a calming presence on everyone around her -- she.is.just.fantastic.

Nan & David's ceremony took place at 11:30 AM followed by a brunch reception complete with a Jazz Band at Club LeConte. How sweet is that!? 

 Love this next picture of her sister fussing over her.

David was definitely all smiles too :). Nan and David are both dentists, well actually I believe David is an oral surgeon, and they truly seem to be a perfect match for one another! I could see in the way they looked at one another that they were truly best friends.

I fell madly and crazily in love with this next couple when we booked them last year and I'm just beside myself that their wedding is literally T minus 6 days! Meet Amanda & Ryan. Amanda is a gorgeous and totally down to earth and Ryan is a super cool pilot! AND he took her up in a tiny plane on their first date! Talk about first date jitters but HOW romantic is that!?! 

We have a crazy, awesome week and weekend ahead of us and I absolutely cannot wait for their wedding this Saturday!! 

Happy Monday!
