Getting Married Barefoot in the "WOODS" at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens - Wedding Photos

If Melanie had her wish, she would have gotten married barefoot in the woods somewhere. She did achieve about half of that as she stayed barefoot the entire day and the Atlanta Botanical Gardens isn't quite the woods, but marriages and soon-to-be marriages run off compromise. Andy wanted a larger celebration so that they could really spend time with their friends and family and have it as a duel celebration for them and for he and Mel. Of all the weddings we've photographed, the love every single guest had for these two was truly incomparable. Multiple times I was at the point of tears during the ceremony, the toasts, and I think I caught Philip choked up as well. And their Atlanta Botanical Gardens wedding photos captures not only the beauty of the gardens, but the beauty of the love these two have for each other.

"A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.”
