Today I’d like to tell you all about Grace and Cooper’s incredible wedding weekend celebration. On the first day, they had a very intimate wedding ceremony on the dock at the family farm. And then the next evening was their reception and dance celebration at Atlanta’s elegant and historic Terminus 330.
Terminus 330 was originally Atlanta’s Maddox Coffee Company, built in 1912. The exposed brick and stone walls are such a gorgeous backdrop for portraits. And the upstairs deck has a great view of Downtown Atlanta. The venue is just a short walk away from the Georgia World Congress Center, Centennial Olympic Park, and so many hotels, restaurants, and attractions. It’s a fantastic spot to have a wedding.
Getting to know Grace and Cooper over the past few months has been a lot of fun. Making their engagement photos in and around their Atlanta home was a blast. We have a lot of shared interests and our conversations wandered wildly from growing fig-trees to best methods for fighting squirrels away from bird feeders, 4wd adventures, and Buffy (check out the head table, Buffy fans). One of the things I find most wonderful about Grace and Cooper is how well they complement each other. They’re very different, but they work very well together.
Meeting their family and friends at their wedding celebration was equally wonderful. The toasts, in particular, were probably the most memorable wedding toasts I’ve ever witnessed. Grace’s dad took a moving moment to celebrate her grandmother, a Hiroshima survivor.
And then came The Trinity (as I am now thinking of them), three childhood friends of Grace who proceeded to bring the house down with hilarious, and possibly not suited for public, stories of Grace’s younger years.
Finally came a heart-felt and beautiful toast from Cooper’s childhood friend. So I hope you enjoy this set of photos because they were a blast to make. And congratulations to Grace and Cooper!
