Rekha & Kartik ~ October 25, 2009

I can't imagine a more perfect day for Rekha & Kartik's fantastic wedding at the Atlanta History Center. We loved photographing all of the details and photographer Kristen Alexander also made a special guest appearance - bonus!




The girl does not take a bad picture - supermodel!!:




Everyone got into the henna and had a blast showing it off:



The day began with a fabulous Indian brunch at 103 West:




Rekha's bling was gorgeous!!









Everyone was getting psyched up for the big ceremony:



Kartik getting some instructions from the priest:




Rekha talked to her grandmother in India right before the ceremony began:



The traditional ceremony had many different customs and blessings. This event was so awesome, it was streamed live to India and also videotaped by Evolution Video:















After they were officially married, the guests enjoyed cocktails and snacks while the wedding party changed into reception garb:



Wardrobe change! We took pics around the Swan House right before the reception:










The ballroom was done up with lots of color and flowers:



Dad giving a toast (which was very funny, I might add):



Sisters toasting and then hugging:











And the dance party began!! Non-stop singing, dancing and overall craziness throughout the evening:









They took a break to share cupcakes from the Atlanta Cupcake Factory:








Cheers, guys! Here's to a big wedding day that was a huge success!

Anja & Zach ~ October 25, 2009

Patrick photographed Anja & Zach's gorgeous wedding at the historic Georgian Terrace Hotel - one of the best photo spots in town!



Beautiful German bride Anja getting ready in her suite:









The ballrooms were recently renovated and the ceremony took place in the majestic Grand Ballroom:





After the ceremony, Patrick took them all around the hotel for pictures:













Anja & Zach had to cut their way through this heart to make their grand entrance into the reception:











A delicious dinner was enjoyed by all:









Then the party began - featuring log sawing (a German wedding tradition - I had to Google it):









...and they ended the evening in style - congrats, guys!
