This year was full of many amazing sessions! This model session was at the top of the list. Featuring models Michaela (instagram.com/makeup.by_mc), Alejandra (instagram.com/itsnallelytyler) & Victor (instagram.com/viciswho), and Sage (instagram.com/sageephillipss!). Howe Farms (instagram.com/howe_farms) was and always is amazing to work with, so accommodating and kind! Howe Farms is my #1 recommendation for a wedding venue! They have so many options. My favorites are the Highlands Chapel, the Loft, and the Woodlands. Dresses were provided by the best bridal shop in town Whimsy on Main located in Dalton Ga. I bought my wedding dress from Whimsy on Main in 2020, this past summer my stepmom actually had the opportunity to buy the shop from the previous owner. This was one of those "what a small world" moments.

We began our session at the Vineyard with some beautiful portraits. We started at the Vineyard with some beautiful getting-ready photos and then moved outside for some beautiful portraits.
After we finished at the Vineyard we went over to the Apple Barn. We had two models as bridesmaids, a male guest, and a solo bride.

This next part was my FAVORITE in the whole shoot. We had Alejandra and Victor in an ADORABLE row boat! I love these photos and I am so glad they were up for this! We did some on-land portraits with the two as well and they killed it! Michaela also killed it with some solo shots by water and these are some of my favorites of hers!
Lastly, we ended at the Woodlands. The Woodlands is just stunning. Everyone killed it here! Sage looked so gorgeous by the large fireplace and I loved it! Alejandra and Victor were amazing in this little corner and the lighting was perfect!

Thank you to all 4 models, Howe Farms, and Whimsy on Main in Dalton Ga for collaborating for this amazing shoot!
