Juljia & Scott | Sanctuary Estate | Atlanta Wedding Photographer

In the heart of the North Georgia mountains, Juljia and Scott's timeless and elegant wedding unfolded. This sweet and stunning couple chose the enchanting Sanctuary Estates as the backdrop for their special day—a new venue that has utterly captured my heart! From the picturesque rolling pastures graced by two magnificent horses to the exquisitely furnished estate reflecting an elegant modern style, and the alluring black modern barn, every nook of this venue was an absolute delight. And to make the experience even more unforgettable, working with Alexandra, the venue owner and wedding coordinator, was an absolute pleasure to work with!

A very touching and special moment on Juljia and Scott’s wedding day was when they shared an intimate first look. As they set eyes on each other, the world seemed to stand still, and the emotions shared between them were palpable. I may or may not have been holding back tears. Against the backdrop of the estate's timeless elegance, their love radiated, creating breathtaking moments that I was privileged to capture through my lens. First looks are a perfect way to make sure you two as a couple have a private moment for just the two of you.

One thing I also loved about Juljia and Scott's wedding was that it was a true celebration of them as a couple. Opting for an intimate affair, they chose not to have a traditional bridal party. Instead, they wanted their friends and family to enjoy every moment of the day without any obligations or stress that may come with being bridesmaids or groomsmen. This decision truly reflected their warm and considerate nature, allowing for a deeper sense of togetherness and joy throughout the celebration.

The priority to celebrate and ensure everyone had a fantastic time was evident, as they had the brilliant idea to hire a live wedding band to play during their reception. Live music is undeniably a game changer when it comes to setting the perfect atmosphere. The Atlanta Wedding Band was nothing short of amazing and truly elevated the energy of the evening. With their enchanting melodies and captivating performances, they had the whole crowd dancing and reveling in the love surrounding Juljia and Scott.

As the night grew, there was one more delightful surprise in store—a late-night pizza party! This thoughtful touch brought smiles to everyone's faces and provided the perfect end to a magical celebration. I mean who doesn’t like pizza and especially after drinking?!

Juljia and Scott’s wedding day was PERFECTION! It was visually stunning - timeless and elegant, stress free, and a true celebration of them and their love. As their photographer, I was deeply moved by the sheer joy and love that filled the day, and I am grateful to have been a part of this enchanting celebration.
