Aerin & Adam: Go Durkins. . . & Go Dawgs!
August 5, 2011 |
Aerin and Adam’s bright and beautiful wedding took place on a bright and beautiful day in Savannah – one of my favorite cities! I just looooove this couple and their group of friends! Aerin was a bridesmaid 2 years ago in my bride, Amy’s wedding! I had such a blast getting to know her over the past months as she has prepared for her day, and it was so much fun to catch up with Amy. Another one of both Aerin and Amy’s bridesmaids is Jami and she is getting married at the end of this month! And I’ll have the privilege of shooting her wedding too! I just love when I get to be part of such a sweet group of friends’ lives! Back to Aerin and Adam though! It was an amazing day so onto the preview!
The girls got ready at the lovely Mansion on Forsyth Park. Don’t you love this bed? Fit for a princess! 
Aerin’s bling! Aerin had a very special “something old:” Adam’s grandmother’s wedding band. Her “somethings new” were her earrings and bracelet. She borrowed the blue embroidered hankie from her grandmother.
Aerin’s lovely Priscilla of Boston gown
I love the crystal buttons down the back!
I just loved Aerin’s handmade shoes that she ordered from Spain! So swanky!
I love getting daddy’s reaction the first time he see his little girl as a bride!
Aerin’s MOH (& sister) helped to make her shoes perfect by adding these adorable “I do” decals to the soles. 
We started out with a few bridals in the Mansion.
Aerin and all her beautiful bridesmaids.
Aerin’s eyes are to die for! Gorgeous!
Aerin’s lovely bridal bouquet was created by Anna Speir.
Since the girls got ready at The Mansion, we had to get a few beautiful bridals there. It is such a fabulous place to shoot!
Then we took a little walk over to Forsyth Park. I love this shot of Aerin and her sister sharing in the excitement of the day!
I just love all these bright summery happy colors!
Such a stunning bride!
These girls are so chic! And I just love all that Spanish moss dripping in the background!
The handsome groom, check out those dimples! 
The gentlemen. Don’t let their serious faces fool you – these guys were so much fun! They were cracking me up all day!
It was the perfect sunny day for Aerin and Adam to say “I Do” at St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Savannah.
Check out all this stained glass! Totally fit in with the bright colors of the day!
I love the excitement on Adam’s face as he waits for Aerin to walk down the aisle.

Kissing the bride
2 generations of wedded bliss! It is always inspiring to see both sets of parents who are still married after all these years. Aerin and Adam said it best when they wrote to their parents, “Your examples of faith, hope, love and respect will forever guide us in the way we appreciate and cherish one another.”
Gorg! I can’t wait to see these in her wedding art book! 
Love this!
The whole wedding party, taking a stroll in Forsyth Park.
The fountains in Forsyth Park are so beautiful and romantic.
I just love this shot… it just makes me happy!
I love when Koutsunis gets a fun action shot of moi!
Then it was off to the reception at the Charles H. Morris Center. Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Adam Durkin!!
First Dance to Sister Hazel’s “This Kind of Love”
Such a sweet first dance!
Adam and Aerin were the envy of the Bulldawg Nation when they shot their engagement in Sanford Stadium. So of course they had to show a little love to the Dawgs at their wedding too! Adam’s groom’s cake was Uga. So when they cut the cake, of course they had to call the Dawgs! They even toasted with champagne glasses emblazoned with a G for Georgia! And Adam’s mom added a sweet touch with the UGA cookies, complete with a sweet note.
The delicious cakes were made by Savannah Custom Cakes. And how great are these cakes? The bride’s cake was made to mimic the Aerin’s gown, and it even had an elegant monogram. And the groom’s cake was such a great representation of Uga! 
It’s a pretty close match!
Aerin and Adam’s yummy food was prepared by Creative Catering. I LOVED their wedding food, complete with fried chicken fingers, and cheese grits bar, and my fav fried green tomatoes! 
I love sneaking out for a few extra romantics at the reception!
The band, The Company, was so fun! And they kept the crowd on their feet all night.
D is for Durkin
After a sendoff through the sparklers, Aerin and Adam headed off for the honeymoon. I had so much fun on your special day! Thanks for letting me be a part of it!
And I just had to snap a quick pic of Jami and Brian. Jami was a bridesmaid, but she’s also one of my brides. So Jami, you’re next!! Can’t wait for the big day!
Can’t wait to show you all of your images! And can’t wait to see all of you at the next wedding! wooo hooo!
