Can I tell you guys a secret? *Whispers* You don’t have to be an ENP Bride and Groom to be an ENP Couple 😉 Rebecca and Matthew are officially living proof. Rebecca found me online through a quick Google search, but I think I was a little luckier than just that. These two got married a little more than a year and a half ago in New York. They’re now living in NoVa rocking their law careers. We met at Bon Air Memorial Rose Garden to celebrate their two-year anniversary with a garden-themed portrait session!
If I have ever regretted not knowing an ENP Couple sooner, it’s Rebecca and Matthew. They told me about their beautiful wedding day, and it only made their anniversary session location feel all too perfect. Since their session was the end of May, the garden was in FULL bloom for these two. It felt full circle after learning their wedding flowers were roses!! How perfect was that happy accident?! Rebecca even wore the same shoes she wore when she walked down the aisle (Badgley Mischka, too!!! One of my faves). When she told me that, I just had to borrow them for a detail shot.
To put the cherry on top, we’re both rose gold lovers. I got to photograph her beautiful rose gold wedding rings while showing off my own rose gold bling and exchanging proposal stories.
Needless to say, we hit it off well and got some gorgeous portraits in the meantime. I just love when sessions become more like hanging out with friends than just pointing a camera at people. The connection between me and my clients is that secret ingredient that turns a pretty session into a beautiful one. And it sure can’t hurt to have such photogenic clients as well.
Rebecca and Matthew, I hope you enjoy these portraits for years to come. I can’t wait for the next opportunity to hang out again, and I’m excited for what year two of marriage has in store for you two!
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.
