Against the backdrop of dinosaurs and dazzling architecture, Kaela and Hanna tied the knot at the Farnbank Museum of Natural History in Atlanta, in a bold, loving and joyous celebration.
The couple began their wedding day with their closest and most loved ones in the trendy Clermont hotel. Once they were ready they explored the interior of the hotel with photographs. It was a great place to soak in a quiet moment together before the festival began. Dressed in classic and modern outfits, they complemented each other very well, and the pair unleashed style and connection.
When Kaela and Hannah ask if future couples have any tips on how to prepare their wedding photos:
Hannah: If possible, coordinate your engagement shoot with the wedding photographer before the big day. Great photographers get the opportunity to get to know you under less stressful circumstances, so when the day comes, they can suggest that you know you like what you didn’t think about now.
Kaela: Have fun and don’t worry about the camera. Also, don’t be afraid to go outside the box and make sure you’re really showing your personality. There’s no need to do anything just because it’s “traditional.”
Their ceremony took place inside the museum’s star gallery. “The Star Gallery is a very gorgeous space, with the ceiling being made to mimic different moments of starlight. It’s an intimate space that somehow feels still vast, and it was perfect for the ceremony with these two, said Raven Shuttley Studios.
After the ceremony, the guests received a lively reception. There, music, dance and heartfelt toast were center stage in the Grand Hall, with giant dinosaurs watching everyone. Portraits of the couple, located inside museum exhibits and sculptures, were made for an unforgettable memorial. It combines history, culture and love for each other in a wonderful visual way.
Kaela and Hannah’s wedding was a celebration of credibility, community and love not just their union, but in all forms. The joy is obvious, the unforgettable setting, and love? Timeless.
