“Because loving you comes as naturally as breathing. I don’t have to think about it. I just do it.”
-Russell

Driving up I could hardly believe I was look the Biltmore Ballroom’s for Russell and Jasmin’s big day. I’ve shot there quite a few times, but I’ve never seen it look as majestic on the outside as it does on the inside. What was so different about it? It’s rare that Georgia even gets a dusting of snow, but we found ourselves in a winter wonderland!

I couldn’t help but think that the heavens had given the bride and groom a gift. After all, if anyone was hoping for a fairytale wedding, it would be Jasmin! A lover of Disney, and talented fashion blogger, Jasmin has one of the sweetest hearts we’ve ever encountered. She’s FIERCE, but also soft spoken. She’s strong willed, but willing to let Russell take the lead. It was easy to see why Russell fell for her. You could see it in his eyes from the first look to the last dance, Russell had found his princess.

It was at Jasmin’s 23rd birthday party that she and Russell met. Five and half years later their love story brought them to the beautiful Biltmore Ballrooms where they promised each other forever in front of family and friends. After a quick wardrobe change, (Jasmin into a stunning sparkly number, and Russell into a dapper black tuxedo and glitter clad Louboutin loafers!) the couple enjoyed a beautiful dinner and toasts from their adoring friends and family. The dance floor was not taken for granted by their amazing guests! But the award for best moves goes to Russell and his groomsmen! They surprised Jasmin with a choreographed dance during the garter toss. It was amazing! Everyone loved it!

Snow in the city, a ballroom for a princess and prince charming made this an unforgettable wedding! It was loved so much, Modern Luxury Weddings decided to feature it in their print magazine. (Check it out on page 174 here.)

Russell and Jasmin, you slayed that wedding and I’m honored to have been a part of it!

The evening ended like all the best ones do, with warm embraces from those you love.
