Luis & Chesney’s Quaint, Fall Middleburg Engagement Session | Middleburg Wedding Photographer

There’s nothing more all-American than walking brick sidewalks in a historic small town in the autumn. Middleburg, Virginia is straight out of a Hallmark movie. I was so hopeful when Luis and Chesney chose to do a fall Middleburg engagement session. You’ll see in the photos below that this quaint little town truly did not disappoint.

And neither did Luis and Chesney! For starters, their engagement outfits were perfection for a classic fall session. And their posing skills easily surfaced after only a few minutes of teaching. Even in the unseasonably warm weather, we made some fall engagement photo dreams come true.

Kevin and I especially enjoyed photographing this session because of how we met the happy couple. This past summer, we attended a “Newlyweds & Nearlyweds” game night at our church. Luis, Chesney, Kevin and I were the earliest arrivers. So we battled it out in Round-the-World style ping pong while the other couples arrived. This random meet must’ve destined us to be friends. Months later Chesney emailed me to inquire for their wedding, not realizing I was the girl she met at our game night! We eventually put two and two together, and both realized this was the perfect fit.

Since then, it’s been such a joy to get to know Luis and Chesney better – not only as an ENP Couple but also as friends. The commonalities kept popping up in conversations. Luis and Chesney each live in apartments within a short walking distance from our apartment! So I foresee plenty of brunch dates in our near future.

We love photographing weddings for friends, but there’s just something sweet about building a friendship while serving a couple as a new client. Kevin and I cannot wait to capture their special day in D.C. in March 2024. In the meantime, enjoy their stunning fall Middleburg engagement session!

P.S. a huge shoutout to my wedding photographer and friend Katelyn James for sharing the stunning sunset location in Middleburg for the latter half of their session! It made for the PERFECT spot to end their session.

Every detail of the Madelyn Tenney Events Spring Design Showcase 2025 was pure magic. As an Atlanta wedding photographer, I had the joy of being invited to capture not only the beautifully curated spaces but also the intimate behind-the-scenes moments that made this spring showcase possible. From lush florals to elegant table settings, the event was a treasure trove of spring wedding inspiration for brides dreaming up their perfect day.

Hosted at Nova Studio in the heart of Atlanta, this carefully crafted experience was designed to set the tone for the upcoming wedding season—and it did not disappoint.

Spring Wedding Inspiration for Modern Southern Brides

The design vision for the showcase–Prima Flora–embraced soft pastels, delicate textures, and fresh seasonal styling. Think romantic blush tones, textured linens, and floral-forward installations. Madelyn and her talented team created a setting that felt simultaneously elevated and welcoming. It was truly a perfect exhibition of what sophisticated spring weddings can be in Georgia.

As I arrived early to document the event setup, I was able to photograph the team in their element: adjusting linens, styling stationery, and rehearsing the layout one last time. These behind-the-scenes moments revealed just how much heart went into this event. It’s easy to see why so many brides trust Madelyn Tenney Events to bring their dream weddings to life.

Behind the Scenes with Madelyn Tenney Events

Before the doors opened, I had the privilege of capturing team headshots for the women behind Madelyn Tenney Events. Their energy, collaboration, and vision made it clear this wasn’t just a design showcase—it was a heartfelt celebration of creativity and community.

The environment was buzzing with excitement as florists arranged final stems and vendors fluffed the final cushions. The team’s chemistry was undeniable, and it translated directly into the seamless flow of the event itself.

The Madelyn Tenney Events Spring Design Showcase

At the heart of the showcase were the intentional design vignettes. Each space told a story, offering spring wedding inspiration tailored for modern Southern brides. One standout element was a centerpiece floral installation by Marigo Flowers, assisted by Pollen Floral Company. It floated above a table layered with blush-toned linens from BBJ La Tavola, catching the light beautifully throughout the afternoon.

An eye-catching ice sculpture by Ice Sculpture Inc. ATL added a playful, elevated touch to the scene, while live entertainment from Jewel the Ballerina captivated attendees with ethereal movement, bringing life to the experience. Glasswing Rentals curated tableware that sparkled under the natural light of Nova Studio, and JC Rental Collective and Party Bound contributed pieces that gave each setup personality and polish.

Why This Event Matters for Atlanta Brides

If you’re a bride planning a wedding in Atlanta, Savannah, or North Georgia looking for fresh spring wedding inspiration, events like this one are invaluable. They don’t just showcase trends—they display the talent of local, trustworthy vendors who are passionate about what they do.

Every vendor at this showcase brought their A-game. Seeing each one’s work in person—and getting to document it as a film-inspired wedding photographer—was such an honor.

What I Loved Most as an Atlanta Wedding Photographer

Photographing this spring wedding inspiration at Nova Studio was a dream. The soft filtered light made the colors pop in a way that felt timeless and true-to-color. My goal is always to deliver film-inspired wedding photos that feel both editorial and authentic. The setting created by Madelyn Tenney Events was ideal for that.

Being trusted to document the designs and the passion behind them—team portraits, set-up, genuine laughter—reminds me why I love this work. These are the moments that couples don’t always see. These are the images that reveal the effort, energy, and heart poured into a couple’s day long before they say I do.

Want more from this amazing showcase? The full gallery is available for your viewing and inspiration!

If you’re planning a spring wedding in Georgia, take this as your sign: romantic color palettes, thoughtful texture layering, intentional florals, and a dream team of vendors are always a winning combination. And if you’re looking for a light and airy wedding photographer, I’d be honored to capture it all.

Let’s create something beautiful together. Contact me to inquire for more information about pricing and packages!
