Ashley Belle Landings | Eatonton, GA | April 23, 2016

The drive out to Ashley Belle Landings was a long one, but well worth the drive. The venue was simply gorgeous. I can tell why Kristian and Lance wanted to get married there! The day couldn’t have been more perfect! The outdoor ceremony and reception with the twinkle lights was amazing. And that evening light… can I tell you about how simply gorgeous is was!? Ben and I would look at the backs of our camera and just love how awesome it looked! We talked about how we wish we could have that light all day long. I have been constantly smiling the past three days as I edited the pictures for the blog post.

And can I tell y’all how much I just love Kristian and Lance?? These two found me on Facebook last year and drove all of the way from Jefferson to have a consult with Ben and me. We instantly clicked and I knew I would love getting to know these two! From their super sweet engagement session at the Marietta Square to getting to hang out with them during the process, I loved getting to become friends with them! I really do love these two so much and am so thankful that they found me last year!

Kristian and Lance had originally opted to not do a First Look, but after chatting with me at their pre-wedding consultation, they decided to do one and both told me on Saturday how much they completely loved it and were so thankful they did it! I am too! Their First Look pictures were the sweetest and we got some great pictures before the ceremony because they saw each other. We even had extra time after the ceremony for some AMAZING pictures because we got so many done beforehand. We had such a fun time throughout the whole day. I am just in love with every picture from their day and cannot wait to finish them all and deliver the whole gallery!

Congrats to Kristian and Lance! I hope y’all are having an amazing time in Mexico!

The feathers on the boutonniere was from a duck he killed. The tags on the flowers were from the legs of ducks from actual duck hunts.
