Rankin Gardens Wedding – David & Michelle

This was my first experience at Rankin Gardens, but wow! What a lovely venue. I love the character that downtown Columbus, GA has. It’s such a historic riverfront city, and it was the perfect location for David & Michelle to say “I Do!”This is just the perfect image to start off the blog post.. there were so many happy tears shed that day!

I loved her personalized hanger! And the detailing on her dress was wonderful!

For all the glamorous details, Michelle and her bridal party were decked out in Converse shoes! Her and David’s were even personalized!

Michelle had so many lovely ladies there to help her get ready. The Rankin Gardens bridal suite was a great location to get dressed!

The best part of David’s outfit were his Dr. Who Tardis cufflinks! What an awesome way to personalize his day.

Michelle requested a first look on the balcony…

And I’m so glad she did! There were some many great photo opportunities.

I kid you not, during the few moments they had alone together on the balcony, I was taking photos through the window. I was *willing* them to kiss at this moment, and they did! That’s what I call perfection.Shout out to my AWESOME second shooter, Jessica, who captured a TON of special moments, including this one!Check out their sweet kicks! I loved it.The light entering the ceremony spot was so perfect! Check out those adorable ring bearers!My favorite place to look during the father/daughter and the mother/son dance are at the MOB and the bride! They always have a sweet expression.

David & Michelle both had pretty feisty grandpas! These were two of my favorite photos of Michelle’s grandfather.Here’s another awesome Dr. Who touch! It was a delicious caramel cake! Yum.

The evening finished with a fun glowstick wedding exit! David & Michelle’s wedding was such a sweet celebration of their love and commitment to each other. They had lots of Disney touches throughout the day, and not only did they get engaged at Magic Kingdom, they’re spending their honeymoon there right now! Have fun! :)
