This church is one of the most beautiful churches in Atlanta area. Ping was a gorgeous bride and here are the bridal portraits at the church:
The couple also took some fun shots together:
Another fun thing we did (with suggestion and permission from Patches Mongeon, the coordinator at Inman Park United Methodist Church was to have bubbles inside the church when the couple walked down the aisle!! How cool is that!?
Of course, we wanted to have more bubbles on the way out too:
All the photos were captured by the amazing David Diener from Atlanta Artistic Weddings. Although this is my first time working with David, I know it will not be the last time because his work is great and working with David throughout the planning process has been a joy.
For reception, we looked at several venues in town but decided to go with Houston Mill House, an intimate historical venue near Emory University. Ping and Brian pretty much fell in love with the outdoor terrace when we did the site visit and we decided to plan an outdoor reception because of the terrace.
However, a week before the wedding, the weather forecast was actually showing 60% rain on the wedding day. Together we created an alternative seating plan for an indoor reception. At the same time, we started to pray for the rain to go away.
God listened to our prayers and it was actually a sunny and warm day on the first Saturday of October! In fact, the prayer was so powerful that we had to moved the reception program indoor after the lunch reception outdoor because it was too hot for the guests to be seated under the sun!
I must say that the Blair Simpson, the Catering Manager at Houston Mill House and her staff were really helpful in accommodating the last minute movement. She also came to the venue early in the morning to allow me to come in and set up before I went to the church for the ceremony coordination. If your wedding has 100 guests or less, you should definitely consider Houston Mill House as a reception venue!
Here are some photos at Houston Mill House:
Congratulations to Ping and Brian! I wish you both happiness and a wonderful marriage!
