Brooke & Ryan ~ March 10, 2012

What a spectacular spring day for Brooke & Ryan's amazing wedding!
We started the day at the Westin hotel in Buckhead, where everyone was getting glammed up by Brushworx for the big event. The team at Magnolia Events & Planning  were there to keep things on schedule so that we could do all of the pre-ceremony pictures at the historic Swan House at the Atlanta History Center.

I loved these tote bags that Brooke gave each bridesmaid!

Brooke & Ryan exchanged gifts at the hotel before we all went to the Swan House. 
Gimmerman is their celebrity couple name (Brooke's last name starts with a G)!

We set Brooke up in the boxwood garden for she and Ryan to see each other and 
have a moment alone before all of the wedding madness set in!

After the photo session, we all went to Peachtree Rd. UMC for the wedding.

Brooke donned her mother's veil for the ceremony:

Brooke's dad is a pastor at Peachtree Rd. and they did a quick prayer in 
the bride's room before he walked her down the aisle.

Dad walked Brooke down the aisle, mom and Ryan met them at the end, then 
dad changed hats and officiated the wedding! Impressive!

Affairs To Remember Caterers's cuisine was, as always, top notch and they 
had stations all around the ballroom with all kinds of yummy deliciousness:
