Whew! I went nearly a full business week without power thanks to Hurricane Irma. We're safe and sound and back up and running, but I now have a slammed inbox. Please be patient as I work through messages from this week!

In the meantime, here's a shot of me and my hubby literally "tying the knot"!

“Go where you are celebrated, not tolerated.”

Words can't express how honored I am to be on this list. If you're planning a wedding or know someone who is, start here and be celebrated.

One part that really seemed to stand out last month according to the feedback was the story about none of the vendors posting photos of the black bride's wedding. Her story really drove home why I push the phrase, “Go where you are celebrated, not tolerated,” so much. It's very important tha

I love a wedding day that focuses on the actual WEDDING. Hanns + Alexis's intimate UC Berkeley nuptials did just that.

Every detail perfectly reflected them as a couple and they spent the day enjoying each other and their guests. There was no stressing over frivolous stuff, only joyous celebration - including a surprise performance by Cal's marching band!

Full feature is on the blog now! Link in the comments.

This family is easily one of my all time faves. I've been photographing Philip + Amanda since 2011, from their engagement session all the way through to their newest addition! Wade + Matthew sure hit the jackpot being born to such wonderful parents and people. Congratulations to the Hand family for 5 years of wedded bliss AND two beautiful children (plus 3 adorable "Outlaw" furbabies).

Mark + Katherine's clean and classic downtown Marietta engagement session is on the Blog! I can't get over Katherine's contagious smile and the fact we kept it simple but got such gorgeous results! This one is proof props aren't needed for a stunning engagement session.

Nihar + Pratibha's STUNNING engagement session is on Style Me Pretty today! An outfit change, jaw-dropping locations, and a couple so obviously smitten with each other...just the way I want to kick off 2017!

This engagement shoot in Atlanta (yes, this is in Georgia) has the most jaw-dropping and regal pictures you’ll see all day!

2016 is officially in the books for Elle Golden Photography!

I'm truly honored and grateful for all my lovely couples (and fab photographer friends) who asked me to document these beloved days. I finished the year with a grand total of 22 incredible weddings and elopements - from Savannah, GA to Berkeley, CA!

Last year I took a step back from social media so I could focus on growing as a photographer and savvy business woman. I also got engaged and began planning my own wedding! But for 2017 I've set a couple goals to share more of these inspirational real weddings on the blog, Facebook, and Instagram.

I hope you'll come along for the ride! Maybe you'll see YOUR wedding in next year's recaps?
