A weekend at the Ritz-Carlton in Buckhead is always a great weekend! So when Amanda and Drew found us shortly after getting engaged and told us where that’s where they would tie the knot, we were thrilled! The Ritz Carlton always does and immaculate job for their bride and grooms, always expecting their next need, so it’s a pleasure to work with them! Leading up to the wedding we photographed Drew and Amanda’s engagement photos, designs a custom guest book, and also photographed their rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Needless to say, Drew and Amanda were beginning to feel more like fast friends, then your everyday wedding client. At the rehearsal Amanda’s grandfather ran the show, as he would the next day. It was an emotional run-through and absolutely precious, it made us even more excited about the wedding day. Fast forward through a gorgeous dinner at the Capitol City Club accompanied by a spectacular groom’s cake and details proclaiming their love Amanda and Drew were ready to get married!

Their wedding day brought perfect weather for pictures outside. Timeline was perfect for a stress-free environment and smooth-running wedding day. Amanda and Drew chose the traditional route, to wait to see each other until the ceremony, and it was so worth it. As Amanda walked into the gorgeously address ballroom, with the reddest of rose petals, Drew couldn’t take his eyes off his almost-bride. The ceremony was beautiful as Amanda’s grandfather bound the two in Holy Matrimony. The rings, and a kiss later, we celebrated the new Mr. and Mrs. Cirilli! After awesome wind blowing veil images outside, we snuck Amanda and Drew into the lavishly decorated ballroom for a sneak peek. Everything had come together beautifully with the most tasteful inspiration from Beauty and the Beast. Family and friends were welcomed to “Be Our Guest” and find their seats. When the new Mr. and Mrs. were introduced the crowd was electric! They moved into their first dance and it was nothing short of perfect! With her full ballgown dress and a choreographed dance, I couldn’t keep my eyes off them! After seeing their first dance, I’m convinced everyone should take lessons and get swept around the floor! Afterwards guests would all take home memories of a seriously exceptional dance party, and a little token of Drew and Amanda’s appreciation: A glass covered chocolate rose just like in the movie! Their love is a fairy tale and we wish them all the best! Congratulations to Drew and Amanda, thank you for letting us capture your romantic, fairy-tale, wedding day!
