The guests at the reception gather around to watch the couple's first dance.
I've had the distinct pleasure of documenting the weddings of several friends I made while working on a Master's of Divinity at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University in Atlanta.
Many of those weddings had one thing in common—a majority of the members of the wedding party were already ministers or on the path to becoming one. Candace and J’s wedding was no exception. More than 75 percent of...
The blended family of Anne and David, her three daughters, and his daughter sing a hymn together.
The Little Chapel, designed by a renowned Atlanta architect, is a replica of the interior of an Anglican church in London considered to be one of Sir Christopher Wren’s most beautiful architectural designs. Is it any wonder that David and Anne chose the beautiful space in Glenn Memorial Methodist Church, where they are members, as the...
Immersed in their love for one another and in the magic of the moment, Ralph and Terry dance together at the reception inside their home.
Ralph and Terry's love story unfolded at the office and culminated with an intimate wedding inside their home with their closest family members, friends, and coworkers present.

Erin and Emily react to a toast from a friend.
Erin and Emily’s plan for a March wedding with more than 100 guests went out the window when the pandemic hit the US early that month. They postponed their wedding until October thinking that all would be back to normal.

The couple’s nuptials took place at...
Friends and family cheer on the couple as they cut their cake.
Dana and Derek’s October wedding took place at The Lost World Adventures Travel Agency in Decatur, Georgia. The couple designed a ceremony that blended Jewish, Unitarian Universalist, and Pagan elements. The ceremony, led by their UU minister, was short and simple and included family members, but no wedding party.
A cocktail party and meal followed the...
Heidi and Tracy make their entrance at their reception. This same-sex couple is now legally married after 16 years.
Together since 1999, Heidi and Tracy had known for years that they were the perfect match and had even made the traditional ‘through good and bad, sickness and health, richer or poorer’ commitment to each other. Despite all of this, when the SCOTUS ruling came down at the end of June, the couple was excited to turn their commitment into a legal marriage.

Cath and Laura celebrate after being legally married.
When Cath met Laura, she was ready to give up on online dating services. Thank goodness she didn't, because the next match was the one they had both been waiting for.
Their first date was a 9 a.m. yoga class on a Sunday morning. After class, they had lunch together and talked for two or three hours.
The wedding was totally spontaneous. Laura was listening to the radio and heard about the Supreme Court decision legalizing...
Josh sees Daria for the first time in her wedding dress, as she walks down the aisle to meet him at the altar under the trees.
Daria and Josh, who met on a dating app like many couples these days, bonded over Xbox One games, University of Georgia football games, and dinner-and-a-movie dates. It didn't take either one very long to realize they were meant to be together.
Their plans were to marry at an old courthouse in Decatur, Georgia. But alas, COVID came along and those plans...
The couple celebrate along with guests after their ceremony.
Lorie and Keena met through a dating app in 2015 after Lorie moved to Texas from Georgia.
Their love story began with a wonderful first date. Keena says that “Even though it was our first meet up, the connection we made with each other was enough for us to know it was the start of something special.”
Their first year together involved lots of driving, because they lived more than 70 miles apart. Despite the...
