Wayde & Kayla’s Enchanting Barn at Timber Creek Wedding | Virginia Wedding Photographer

Until Wayde and Kayla’s wedding day, I never thought I’d be cheered on by a cow. Minor side story before diving in. When I arrived to Wayde’s AirBnB down the road from their Barn at Timber Creek wedding venue, the cows came right up to the fence mooing so loud at me! I snapped a photo of them, then moved inside. When I came back out with Wayde’s groom details to photograph them on the porch, the mooing continued. Regardless, I’ll just believe I had a few unconventional cheerleaders that day.

Aside from this cute interruption, this sweet wedding was the perfect way to end the 2022 wedding season. It was my last wedding of the year, and I’m so glad I got to second shoot it for Stacie of Marshall Arts Photography.

Kayla and Wayde turned their Barn at Timber Creek wedding venue into a whimsical cabin feel despite its very Virginia country setting. Because of their careful planning, everwhere we looked felt like a woodland, winter wonderland! Their all black bridal party look looked so classic and clean against the red pine needles that graced the ground at their ceremony. And their winter florals were stunning and so unique!

But most striking of all was the couple’s laid back, anything goes attitude and excitement for getting married. Wayde was such an easy going groom. And his bride Kayla looked like a supermodel in her glittering, sleek wedding gown. Their friends and family were so warm and welcoming, I often felt like a guest not a vendor.

The day went so smoothly, we had over an hour before the ceremony to capture details and more portraits! And by the end of the night, Kayla had one last request: magical night photos with twinkling lights surrounding them. So we grabbed the little battery-operated wire lights that were decorating the buffet table! But each strand was only about 2 feet in length. So Stacie and I each took a strand and held them in front of our lens to create glowy orbs that looked like they were floating among the stars. Scroll to the end to see the magical results!!

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.
