Suzanne + Max :: A Fairytale Wedding for a Boy in the Marines + a Girl in the Navy :: Part 1
Well, we were going to try and fit both Max + Suzanne’s Wedding and Trash The Dress Session neatly into this one big and beautiful blog post… but let. me. tell. ya –> IMPOSSIBLE! There are just way too many gorgeous photos of these two to choose from, so we’re just going to have to go ahead and give you the wedding now and save the Trash The Dress session for later (part 2). :) Max + Suzanne are one incredible couple. They are both military, M is a Marine and S is in the Navy, and they have a love story that stretches from the US to Kuala Lumpur, and finally all the way to Dubai (and how much you wanna bet there’s more in there they didn’t even bother telling us?). Tracy did an incredible job photographing these two and their entire wedding day (gosh, hasn’t Tracy been killing it lately?!). We’re so blessed to have her as our oh so talented San Diego photog!! M + S wanted to have a small, intimate ceremony with their closest family and friends. For S, the Crystal Ballroom at the US Grant was her fairytale ceremony location (and you’ll see why – oh.the.chandeliers), and because they both have such a love of sea and water (obviously!) they decided to have the reception on the waterfront of San Diego at the Tom Ham’s Lighthouse. There are so many little beautiful & personal touches to this wedding, we loved every moment!!
Look out for their TTD (Trash The Dress) session coming soon! x’ & o’s

Natalie + Tucker::A Fateful ATL Engagement with Tyler
Alright folks – we are SUPER excited to bring you this engagement session today for two super important reasons. First off, this amazing Atlanta e-session was shot by the newest member of our Atlanta photography team – Tyler! We’ve had our eye on Tyler for awhile, and knew his eye and style would be a perfect match for the OLAS aesthetic our couples have come to know and love. Be looking out for more sessions from Tyler soon – he’s already booking up fast! We *do* have to brag on him a little bit though – we’re hearing from couple after couple who are contacting us right after their session going on and on about how much they love Tyler! Not sure what kind of love potion he’s passing out at his session, but he’s making some bff’s – fast!
The second reason that we’re so excited to showcase this session is just because of how much we adore this sweet bride and groom. Natalie and Tucker could be called star-crossed lovers (if people actually talked like that!). These two attended high school together, where their paths started crossing more and more frequently. They had one class together sophomore year, half of their classes together junior year, and all of their classes together senior year (it’s that fate thing!) They eventually started dating, but soon were separated when Tucker went to school at Northwestern and Natalie headed to UGA. They tried the long-distance thing again and again, but it never worked. They finally said their goodbyes, and Tucker assured her that if it was meant to be, he’d be back. Fast-forward two years later. Natalie gets an email from Tucker saying he’s headed back to Atlanta for a job, and the rest is history! Natalie and Tucker met Tyler in downtown Atlanta for one super amazing e-sesh. Check it out and leave us some love! Can’t wait for your wedding Natalie and Tucker!

Rebecca + Rob :: A San Diego “Engagement”
Hello OLAS fam! Today we’re bringing you an engagement session… for a married couple! Rebecca & Rob are this adorable couple who asked us to photograph their “proper wedding” (their words, not ours!) and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of it! They were actually married in August 2011 in front of Rob’s sister and two friends at the courthouse, but now want to have a big celebration with all their loved ones, just one year later. We love getting stories like this – every single couple is so different and we adore all the different types of love stories out there. They first met when Rebecca was planning to come to America all by herself, and the only person she knew here in the states just happened to be staying with Rob! Their mutual friend suggested she stay with him and his family until she could get all settled in (in a new country!), so she did! Talk. About. Destiny. They kept in touch with one another after she moved on and continued to travel, and then a few years later Rob came to visit Rebecca in Australia, and the rest is history! R + R have this natural, easy chemistry that Tracy (our crazy talented San Diego photog) captured in every shot. Tracy is so, so good at making our OLAS couples feel immediately at ease and it really shows through in R + R’s photos. They’re beautiful, charming, and just a little bit silly :)
Enjoy! x’s & o’s

Penny + Nicholas :: A Classic & Romantic San Diego Wedding
Hello loves! Today we have some really beautiful photos to show you from Penny + Nicholas’s wedding in sunny California. P + N are just one of those couples who obviously brim with love for each other, seemingly nonstop(!), and who doesn’t love witnessing something as beautiful as that? The two met through friends in late 2008 and have been inseparable ever since. He’s a southern gentlemen and a hopeless romantic (their proposal = straight from a storybook, helicopter and all!), and she’s a sweet & smart midwestern gal with a deep love of planning and structure. He taught her how to eat spicy chile peppers and she taught him how to properly eat good ‘ol Iowa sweet corn. She likes to say that he continually has her view life in a whole new light (gush – love that). Our uber talented San Diego Photographer, Tracy, did an amazing job capturing every sweet and sentimental moment from P + N’s wedding day. Their wedding was classic, romantic, and all about spending cherished time with their friends & family. They’re both Catholic and so had a traditional mass at the ceremony, but made sure to make it as warm, fun and upbeat as possible! We think the photos are proof that they succeeded :) Penny chose gorgeous long charcoal bridesmaids dresses and pink and white flowers for the bouquets and overall wedding decor, and we all think it came together so beautifully.
Best friends. In love. Husband and Wife. Doesn’t get much better than that :)
p.s. look out for a quick appearance by Sadie, their little & much loved Pomeranian! x’s & o’s you two!

Read MoreEunhye + Herbert – Posh Ft. Lauderdale Hyatt Regency Pier 66 Wedding
We love, love, love bringing you posh, modern weddings, and do we have a gorgeous one for you today! Graham, our over-the-top talented New England photographer, hopped on a plane and flew all the day down to Ft. Lauderdale to shoot Eunhye + Herbert’s big day. It’s a little hard for us Georgia girls to showcase some of these photos – Let’s just say that Herbert is a HUGE sports fan, and these two are University of Florida alums. Look close, and you’ll see some Gator chomps and some major Tebowing (ha!) Eunhye + Herbert chose to have both their wedding and reception at the Hyatt Regency Pier 66, and the venue could NOT have been more gorgeous. The soft light, the to-die for flowers, and the city views made for some pretty sweet ambiance…. Even with all of the glitz and the glam, Eunhye and Herbert had to include some elements of their alma mater and Southern roots, and they did so in blue and orange seating cards, and an amazing BBQ rub as a favor (the packaging was perfect!) These lovebirds have actually been together 12 years (!!) and this wedding was a celebration that was a long-time coming. We’re so glad that you guys chose Graham and (once like a spark) to be a part of it all! xoxo
