Celebrating a Wedding Anniversary with Romantic Portraits in South Georgia
When Sara mentioned to me over coffee that she had always wanted to go back to her gorgeous wedding venue, The Crescent, to take romantic photos of her and her husband, Chris, I knew we had to make it happen! A few months later, and we are hopping in the car together for a fun girls road trip from Atlanta down to Valdosta, GA. The moment I saw the soaring live oaks draped in spanish moss and grand columns of the crescent-shaped porch that gives the venue it's name, I fell in love.
The drizzling rain slowly petered out while we sat chatting in the car and waiting for Chris to arrive after work. I couldn't have had more fun with these two! I loved hearing them recount memories from their wedding day as we walked through the property and Chris' dry sense of humor had me chuckling all afternoon!
