Raven + James' Spring Wedding at The McClure House in Rydal, Georgia



From the first phone call with Raven and James to discuss wedding photos- I knew I was going to love working with them and I sure was correct!


These two fell in love at the University of North Georgia, and I loved learning more about them during our planning meetings and pre-wedding photos. I was especially happy to be back at The McClure House again which is such a wonderful venue!


Nestled on several acres, the McClure house features a stately white house and gardens around the property. They chose to have their ceremony facing the house and the reception is in their reception space on the property as well. The owners are so sweet and so helpful and make sure everything runs smoothly during their events.


Raven had a precious first look with her dad and bridesmaids to start the day, and James shared funny moments with his groomsmen as well. The ceremony was a great testament to their love for Jesus and dedication to each other.


I loved using the grounds, greenery, porches, and windows at the venue for some great photos throughout the day of the couple and their friends and family.


Congratulations to Raven and James and here's to a lifetime of love and adventures!
