Lake Martin was the most perfect setting for Macon and Michael’s wedding day, not just because it’s beautiful, but because this place is such a big part of their story. They both spend tons of time at the lake, their families have homes there, and they even spent the morning getting ready at Michael’s family’s lakehouse. It made the entire day feel that much more personal and special.
And this one was extra special for me, too. I’ve known Macon for close to 10 years, which meant their wedding was filled with so many old friends and familiar faces. And let me tell you…this group knows how to have a GOOD time.
A Lake Martin Wedding All About Their People
One of my favorite things about Macon and Michael’s wedding was how intentional they were about the experience they wanted to create.
They chose to have a tiny wedding party, Macon’s sister and Michael’s dad, so they could spend more of their day actually socializing with their friends and family. Making sure everyone was taken care of, having fun, and enjoying themselves was so important to both of them.
And honestly, that’s just who Macon and Michael are. They are both incredibly hospitable and genuinely care about the people around them.
Through all the moving pieces of a wedding day, they also stayed so calm and grounded. There was never a sense that everything had to go perfectly. At the end of the day, they knew the most important thing was that they got to marry each other. Everything else was a bonus.
A Party at The Ridge Clubhouse
After officially becoming husband and wife, it was time to PARTY, and their reception at The Ridge Clubhouse did not disappoint.
Macon and Michael wanted their Lake Martin wedding to feel like one really fun celebration with all of their favorite people, and that’s exactly what it was. Good food, old friends, a packed dance floor, and plenty of people ready to throw down. My kind of wedding.
Macon and Michael, getting to photograph this day for you was such a treat. I loved getting to watch you celebrate in a place that already holds so many memories for you, and now gets to hold one pretty big one, too.
