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 […]

This one felt extra special because I have actually known Hannah for years! […]
