This wedding was chock full of southern charm & beautiful connections. It reminded me why I do what I do. Its all about the moments & these two had so many heartfelt moments, it was hard to narrow down favorites for this preview! I had never met Cole before we arrived at the gardens, but was not surprised to be greeted with a big hug when I introduced myself. Kari gave me the scoop on Cole during her bridal session, so I knew he was going to be an extraordinary guy. The two of them make such a sweet pair….. I know they have many years of love & laughter ahead. Take a peek at a few of my favorite images from their day…. Congrats Kari & Cole!
