kate and i love being regulars at restaurants. it’s a good feeling when you walk into a place, and someone knows your name. kinda like cheers. anyway, i say that because it’s how i ended up meeting derek. when i delivered coffee for a living, i’d go to taqueria del sol in decatur every tuesday, and sometimes the following friday. we struck up conversations and ended up becoming friends. i was so excited when he got engaged to bethany, and honored when they asked me to shoot their wedding. they got married at a private residence in lake rabun, ga. the weather was perfect, they both looked awesome, and it was a great day. they put every bit of themselves into this wedding. bethany made the bars and seating cards, and she collected plates from different estate sales for over a year. she even carved a d + b in a heart on their cake stand. they left the wedding in a vintage boat. it’s weddings like this that make me so happy to have this job. thank you to derek & bethany, and thanks to jared, as always, for shooting with me. enjoy.
