when we scheduled a meeting to meet janna and go over some wedding details, we found ourselves as guests at her parents’ house where the ceremony was to be held. we were immediately welcomed in as friends, given a tour of the (amazing) property, and treated to dinner out on the deck under the perfect summer sky. you never would have known that we were 5 minutes from one of the major highways in atlanta! it was such a perfect place for a wedding – huge backyard, a beautiful lake, and even dramatic lighting! but it wasn’t just the scenery we were in awe of, it was the family that we fell in love with. the vanderyts are truly amazing – AND they’re dutch! bonus! after attending the wedding, we found out we weren’t the only ones who felt the same way.

a few details:

janna gets ready:

we met adam the night before at the rehearsal dinner. we could tell right away why janna was head over heels for him.

a little brotherly love!


i love that janna had her mom as a bridesmaid!

adam had a note delivered to janna right before the ceremony – so sweet.


adam gets emotional watching his bride walking towards him


their back yard was the perfect place for a wedding – and sentimental.

adam was way too sweet!

janna and her dad. i’m not sure if it’s similar personalities or because they’re dutch, but chris and mr. vanderyt hit it off immediately. they were one in the same.

cute!



janna and adam had dinner on the balcony overlooking the reception before they went down to mingle.

it was such a beautiful night for a wedding!

and it was definitely a party!

last but not least, a look at the amazing vanderyt property. they had lots of candles floating out on the lake. see what i mean about the dramatic lighting? it was perfect.

thanks to camille for helping us get some beautiful detail shots!
janna + adam: we hope you two have an awesome life together, congratulations! thank you for allowing us to spend this beautiful day with you. :)
