We had such an awesome day with these two! We have both known Callan for quite a few years – we actually all used to work together as photographers for a large event photography firm! So we were flattered and excited when Callan emailed us last year and said she had to have us for her wedding.
Callan was beyond laid back, and I really feel like that attitude shines through in the photos. She had a constant smile on her face all day, and you could tell she was just ready to marry her best friend! I loved getting to hear toasts from her dad and brother about how both of their families grew up spending time together – going to the movies (they all agreed they loved the super hero movies best) and having family night. So they have literally known each other since childhood! Such a sweet story.
We got to meet Tanya with Southern Charm Events and see her work her magic! Jacksonville is a much busier area so Club Continental had a wedding there that morning as well. Tanya and her team turned the room around in about 90 minutes to get it ready for Callan and Josh’s reception and barely broke a sweat. It was impressive. We love all of you and are so glad we got to work together on such a special day!

When you’re running on time and the weather is nice, you get lots of pretty portraits! Prepare for a ton…
I loved this impromptu stop in the middle of the aisle for another smooch!
DJ Carlton McGee provided the uplighting and it really made the room pop!
Homemade Chex mix as favors:
They had candlelight all throughout their reception and it made everything super romantic!
Glow sticks always make a reception more fun!
