Garden Wedding at Atlanta Botanical Garden by Vue Photography
Kemper and Kevin were married on a gorgeous summer day and then threw a truly fabulous Southern garden party for their guests at the dreamy Atlanta Botanical Gardens. The decor was romantic and classic, including a beautiful monogram by Hi Note, bridesmaids in slate-colored Amsale gowns and soft white cotton for the bouquets and boutonnières, hand-picked by the bride's Grandfather at his nearby farm. Vue Photography captured elegant images of the prettiness, emotion and all the dancing!
