“Ten years in the making” was the theme for the romantic Savannah wedding of Nikki Johnson and Tyrone Walker. Ten years of dating, of discovering each other, of planning their lives together and of breaking familiar patterns within relationships that would have otherwise certainly have come between them. They worked it out, step by step, day by day, year by year and on May 27th they became husband and wife. The cycle has been broken, Nikki. Congratulations are definitely in order.
Their beautiful invitations were nestled into spanish moss in a custom designed box and delivered to each guest as an indication of what was to come. Papered Wonders creates incredible stationary and The Mansion at Forsyth was the perfect place for the event with it’s swanky decor and Southern charm.
Nikki was filmed for the show, “Say Yes to the Dress” which will air July 8th on TLC. Three Ring Media also did a stellar job. This was the first time I worked with them and I was totally impressed to see that they offer same-day-edit. Guests were able to watch a beautiful story line of the couple including segments of the wedding day itself. The segment was shown on a monitor next to my slideshow during the cocktail hour/reception, which I thought was a fabulous addition.
Nikki and Tyrone’s story is a testimony to the conquering power of love and commitment. It was intoxicating just to be around them. The entire planning process leading up to the day was meticulously attended to by Michelle and her team at Lemiga Events. She brought calm precision to every detail and the entire day was flawless.
The Ceremony was located at Orleans Square with Spanish Moss stretching to listen all around. The rain fell for almost 2 hours before the wedding and graciously stopped 5 minutes before the Ceremony started.
The lighting in the ballroom was beautifully created by JLK Events and table linens were custom designed by I Do Linens. Florals by Aesthetic Floral & Event Artistry. The bride was brought to tears when she saw the completed room.
I loved every minute of this wedding. As always, the bulk of the details and all my favorite images can be found in the slideshow below.
Shawna we are just blown away! These are by far the greatest pictures I’ve ever been a part of and I can’t stop staring at my fiance! She’s smokin’.
I mean I was excited for the DR but now I can’t contain myself.
Hats off to you for bringing out the best in us.
