We knew Adam and Joanna were a fun couple from the minute we Skyped with them. All the way out in LA, they were planning a backyard wedding on Lake Lanier, and we chatted about their vision for wedding photos while they kept an eye on their energetic pups. Adam had a sweet mustache, and Joanna was all things chill and fun. We liked them instantly.

The best kind of weddings are centered around the couple, their relationship, their friends, family, and the things that are most important to them. Adam and Joanna’s wedding day was just that. Adam ran around capturing the day with his video camera, Joanna walked down the aisle barefoot, and after a delicious dinner served from the Four41 South BBQ Food Truck, a wild dance party started in the woods under the glow of string lights. There was no formal or stiff atmosphere at this shindig. It was all laughter, celebration, hugs and giant group selfies, happy tears, and teamwork. Our faces hurt from smiling behind the camera all day, and every time we look at their photos we smile again, because it was just the coolest wedding celebration ever.

We know you’re dying to see the images now, so without further ado, check out some of our favorite images from Adam and Joanna’s wedding day.
