It’s Wednesday!! Which means it’s also another WINS-day. Here are my wins from this week:
I got my favorite couple hundred photos edited and blogged from Brad & Kristen’s wedding! See them here. It was such a beautiful day and I can’t wait to finish up their entire gallery.
Also in the “editing” vein, I’m exploring opportunities to become a part time editor for some fellow photographers. Y’all know I keep hinting that some big goals for next year are pushing me to rake in a little extra cash, and this is one way I am trying to boost my efforts. If you are a photographer and need to outsource your editing to get your life back, let’s chat!!!
I got to second shoot with Julia Summers on Saturday, and it was a BEAUTIFUL day! Also, Julia is AMAZING!! We’re already basically besties, with a coffee date on the books for next week to look at our photos together and chat all things weddings, photography, and business.
I finally forced myself to cook dinner for the first time in…. I can’t even say. Kevin has been so great about picking up most of the cooking for us at night when we spend time together. Otherwise, Chick-Fil-A has become too familiar a friend. But tonight I made a low-calorie recipe from my new healthful foods cookbook – chicken thighs over homemade onion dressing. And it was SO GOOD.
This is only week 2 of my regular WINS-day posts. So if you’re just hopping in, read week 1 to hear what these little posts are all about! Until next time, friends! Keep counting your blessings.
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.
