Oh, Marie and Nick. Where to even start with these two. Marie and Nick are precious, precious friends of OLAS co-owner Ashley, and we were naturally so excited to shoot their engagement and wedding as well. Nick and Marie are two of the most fun, genuine, authentic, laid-back people that we know. They just have good vibes as individuals, and when you put them together, there is so much light and love and just plain good that comes from the two of them, it’s hard not to be happy in their presence. Nick and Marie both went to the University of Georgia, and hold the amazing city of Athens close to their hearts. They chose to get married at the chapel on campus, and we spent a lot of their portrait time on historic North Campus. Let’s begin….

Marie and all of her ladies (and she had TONS of them – lots of people love her!) got ready at the Gameday Suites. It was a bustle of activity and primping and all things feminine in the midst of a Georgia football themed conference room. We loved it.

Marie and Nick had tons of bridesmaids and groomsmen, so their group portrait sessions were a ton of fun. Traipsing around your gorgeous alma mater with your best friends is always a great way to kick off your wedding day…..Marie and Nick chose to see each other before the ceremony. Their first glance was so sweet and emotional. We love their faces as they are together for the first time on their wedding day. Some B&W’s that we loved….The ceremony begins. A couple snapshots: Nick’s face right as he can glance Marie beginning her walk down the aisle, gorgeous dried rose petals (from all of the flowers that Nick gave Marie while they were dating – squeal!), Marie’s flowers as she waits, and Marie and her father beginning her walk to Nick.This is probably one of our favorite pictures from the wedding. The anticipation on Nick’s face as Marie begins her walk down the aisle….

And another favorite.  The emotion from a bride as she walks down the aisle is always such a powerful thing. It’s the culmination of so much planning and dreaming and worrying and thinking, and then her sweet groom is standing waiting for her at the end. Swoon. We love this sweet shot of Marie as she is walking towards Nick. 

Marie and Nick had a gorgeous ceremony, and you could feel the love in the room from all of their friends and family.

More ceremony shots…..

It’s a tradition at UGA to ring the victory bell after a win or any other momentous event – we certainly think this qualifies! We love these couples portraits at the bell – some of our favorites from the day!More fun on campus…..Congrats Drs. Nick and Marie Capito! We love you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness!
