We had a blast taking pictures at Michael and Emily’s fantastic wedding! Right from the beginning, they were up for anything and had a great time. It felt like an amazing adventure with lots of laughs from the beginning to the end, and we were so happy that our faces hurt from smiling so much by the end of the day. Being there with them on their special day and capturing their genuine happiness made us super-duper happy. These fantastic people were a mix of being spontaneous, laughing a ton, and loving life and each other a whole bunch.
The tale of Emily and Michael is a heartwarming journey that will fill your heart with joy. It all started online when Michael moved to Atlanta for a new job. After just a few dates, they realized they were a perfect match. Michael found himself charmed by Emily’s unique sense of humor, while Emily embraced Michael’s enjoyable personality and his smart approach to finances.
They can’t help but relive this story, over and over! They remember the time when Emily said, “I love you” out of the blue, and something surprising happened. Emily got sick, and at that moment, Michael said he loved her too. They now find it funny how their love story had a surprising twist, and they tell their friends and family about it to show that love can happen in unexpected ways.
Their engagement story is like a beautiful love story. Michael promised to propose to Emily before her nursing school graduation. He wanted to surprise her, so he came up with a clever plan. He told Emily about an “education seminar” in California, complete with fake schedules and even a video call from a pretend hotel lobby.
At the same time, Emily had planned a trip to Asheville, North Carolina with her friends. With the help of those friends, Michael secretly arranged a surprise proposal and caught Emily off guard in front of her wonderful friends. Emily had no idea, and they celebrated their engagement in the scenic setting of Asheville.
Michael and Emily wanted their wedding to have a rustic and industrial look because they are simple and down-to-earth people. They picked the Gibson Social place because it matched their vision for the wedding really well, so it was an easy choice for their big day.
