It all began at The Georgia Theatre, one of Athens‘ prime entertainment spots, where Luke and Cortney met for the first time. Some time thereafter this couple would cross paths again, sparking a love interest that would radiantly flourish into “forever and always” as they prepare for a wedding this spring at The Georgia Club.

These two began a love journey that would encompass memories of hiking and camping trips as well as adventurous trips to new places. Naturally, Luke proposed to Cortney at the Clock Tower in Rome, Georgia during one of their occasional travel adventures! She obviously said “yes” to his proposal and immediately began putting wedding plans into fruition.

I was tickled pink when Cortney asked me to come meet with her at her parents’ house to talk about wedding plans.  We came up with a fun engagement session idea to photograph the two of them on the North Campus grounds of the University of Georgia (UGA), where Luke has proudly earned the right to stand under the famous arches being a UGA grad student. We also made our way to The Georgia Theatre in remembrance of where it all began.

Cortney and Luke, you two are a beautiful couple and I cannot wait to see you exchange vows before your friends and family. Thank you for trusting me to be your wedding photographer and above all, thank you for your service as a United States military family. You are truly appreciated.
