This week’s wedding takes place at my favorite venue in Atlanta, Naylor Hall. Naylor is in the Roswell historic district, north of metro Atlanta. The beauty of this venue is only matched by the incredible staff.

AC and Jeremy picked Naylor for their wedding venue. They loved the location, the venue, and most of all Abbey. Abbey is the manager of the venue and does a fabulous job. She brings years of experience and has been mentored by one of the best in the business.
It was a gorgeous day. AC and Jeremy did not want a first look, so they arrived separately. AC arrived first and went upstairs to the bridal room. The bridal room at Naylor is the perfect get away from the hustle and bustle of the wedding so the bride and bridesmaids can get ready uninterrupted. There is a separate bathroom and plenty of mirrors and space for the wedding party.
When Jeremy arrived, he went upstairs to the groom’s room with his guys. They got dressed and isolated themselves from the guests.
When the ladies were ready, I took them downstairs where they were greeted by the bride’s family. Everyone was so excited to see her in her wedding dress for the first time. It was a fanback or fishtail cut dress with a medium length train. I am a fan of these dresses because they look great going down the aisle with the train and can easily be bustled for the reception. This particular dress required one button to be bustled.

During the photos with the family the bridesmaids patiently waited. Once done with the family, AC did a few photos with the bridesmaids and then went outside to the front of Naylor Hall for some fun casual shots with the ladies. They were so much fun and were offering support for AC throughout the shoot. It was getting close to the wedding time, so I took them inside and took a few more photos with the guys.

The ceremony was held in front of Naylor Hall. The weather cooperated and we had great weather, not too cold and not too hot. The guests were seated facing the front porch where the minister stood. The wedding party came out from the side of the venue and walked down the side entrance to the sidewalk. They lined up behind the large tree in the yard so the guests could not see them. The bride’s grandmother went first then the parents. The bridesmaids were escorted by the groomsmen and made a half circle around the steps of the porch. AC’s dad came back and escorted her to the ceremony. This was the first time Jeremy saw her in her dress. He became a little emotional seeing her coming towards him.
It was a very short ceremony with prayers and exchanging of rings. Once they were announced bride and groom the guests cheered and greeted them as husband and wife. They even stopped during their exit from the ceremony for an extra married kiss.

We did a few photos with the guests and the rest of the family on the porch. Once done I took the couple out to the front of the house to the sidewalk along Canton Street. I have never done that before and now I ask myself why? They were a lot of fun and very casual. I also took some photos of the couple in the hedges out front to break up the usual shots that I do. It was a lot of fun and gave them some unique photos.

The reception was held in the ballroom where the wedding party was announced. The couple came in last and went straight into the first dance as husband and wife. There was the blessing, and they had a delicious dinner served by Naylor’s best caterer. Once dinner was done, they did the parents’ dances and then toasts. Then it was party time! Hal the DJ cranked up the music and the guests got to the ballroom floor and started to cut a rug. Everyone had a great time. Then like always every party must end. The guests went outside to line up for the exit. While they did that AC and Jeremy stayed back and did a private dance with just them. It was a nice private moment that they could share just between them after a busy wedding day. Then they went outside where the guests cheered them on as husband and wife. A perfect ending to a great wedding.
