Natalie + Tyler at The Five Star Lodge & Stables : Atlanta Wedding Photographer

Natalie and Tyler’s romance started under the fluorescent lights in the heat of July at a Waffle House. They grew up living very close to each other, but had never met. They grew up in the same church and had many of the same friends, so it was inevitable that they would one day meet! In that night at Waffle House they clicked immediately, and ended up going on their first date a week later! Soon after, Natalie ended up having to go into the hospital for an inpatient hip surgery and was there for about a week. He visited her nearly every day even though he worked in Duluth and the hospital was in downtown Atlanta. She decided then that he was a keeper.

Their wedding took place at the Five Star Lodge and Stables in Morganton, GA. It’s a beautiful lodge nestled up in the North GA Mountains. It ended up being a really rainy day, but Natalie and Tyler were just happy to be getting married. It turned out to be such a fun night of dancing and I am so happy that these two found each other!

“Our favorite memory was our ceremony and the stories our pastors shared, the vows, and the whole feel of the event altogether. We were happy that it rained, because it made the ceremony so special and cozy, with our family and friends closely surrounding us. I loved being able to see them smiling and crying as they watched us finally get married! We had been waiting a very long time to finally say those words to one another, and it was so amazing to finally be able to live through that moment instead of just envisioning it in our minds. We even practiced our kiss so it would be perfect!”

Seriously gorgeous bouquet! One of the prettiest ones I have gotten to photograph. And it was made by Natalie’s friend who just does florals as a hobby. She should definitely go into business because she has talent!
