Fairy tale charm meets southern beauty at Whitestone Reserve in Austell, Georgia. As Atlanta wedding photographers, we love how this venue feels private and peaceful while still being close to the city. Ten acres of gardens and vineyards wrap around the property, giving every guest a sense of calm the moment they arrive.

At the heart of Whitestone Reserve stands a stately white craftsman style building. Inside, a generous ballroom shines with opulent chandeliers and plenty of natural light. Soft neutral tones keep the space bright and elegant, so your colors and decor can really stand out.

Outside, a wide ceremony lawn is dressed with romantic lighting for sunset vows. A cozy lanai overlooks the lawn and makes a relaxed spot for cocktail hour. There is also a bridal suite and a grooms room for getting ready on site. The venue seats up to 160 guests, which feels just right for a warm, personal celebration.

Candice and Joseph’s Story

Candice and Joseph have one of the sweetest stories we have heard. Candice asked Joseph out on a dating app to a brewery, and they had a wonderful first date. She then went on many other first dates over the next couple of weeks, but Joseph was the only one she truly enjoyed. So she asked him out again! Their wedding fell on their four year anniversary.

The proposal is just as fun. Candice once spotted a little cat ring in an antique shop, and Joseph secretly bought it. After he got the real ring, he hid the cat ring on the collar of their cat, Kiwi. It took Candice ten days to notice it, even with hints from her brother! The couple describes themselves as very nerdy and obsessed with their pets. Their colors were blue toned grey and dusty rose pink, a sweet nod to Candice’s grey blue moissanite ring on rose gold.

Our team is based in Atlanta, and we serve couples across the entire state of Georgia. Every wedding photographer on our team loves capturing personality, and this couple had plenty of it. We guide you when you want help and let your true selves shine the rest of the time.

We believe the best wedding photos show who you really are. That is why we love couples who bring their personalities into the day, from pet themed touches to fun color choices. Before the wedding, we talk about the details that matter to you, so we know exactly what to look for. On the day, we stay flexible and ready for surprises. We also plan time for portraits at golden hour, when the light is soft and warm. Those quiet minutes away from the crowd often become some of the most loved images in the gallery. Our team also loves capturing the small details that show your personalities, so your gallery feels like a true picture of the two of you.
