Tayiba & Javier :: The Solarium, Decatur Wedding

Tayiba & Javier's wedding at the Solarium in Decatur was pure fun while also showing off lots of thoughtful, elegant touches. Every direction I turned I felt like Tayiba had carefully considered each detail.

Here she is looking thoughtful and elegant herself...



Out of the corner of my eye I noticed the bright urban colors along the street and set my sights on groups portraits there. Part of my process is to question why I do what I do, and I've recognized lately that I tailor my style just a bit according to my clients. The weddings Mandy and I shoot range from classic to trendy, and while I believe it's important (crucial) to produce consistent results, the images shouldn't be shot the same way every time.




Stellar shot by Mandy below. I'm a little jealous of it. During these portraits Tayiba's bridesmaids were telling her how she looked like a princess. Agreed!



The floral design by Cathy Brim at Bloom was simple, vibrant, and most importantly, unique.







Then this happened (not really, but that is groomsman Ben's sense of humor).

One of my favorite images- it wouldn't be the same without the open truck door and boots for authenticity.




Succulents were incorporated into the centerpieces at Tayiba's request.




Harvard groom's cake. Enough Said.




Delicious, fresh food by Baddabing Catering.






Javier has a very quirky sense of humor, and he seems to divide people into two categories- those who think he is funny and those whom he will eventually convince that he is funny. I happily fall into the former category.






By Mandy- she loves this image!






Congrats Tayiba & Javier!
