They met at a bowling league that Mackenzie's Mom signed her up for so that she could meet some new friends and they started hanging out after practice. His groomsmen are also from that bowling league mostly. He proposed in at a picnic by the water wheel near the entrance of the Univ of Georgia and they go back to picnic there often. They love sports and are UGA season pass ticket holders but he is holding on to being a TN fan. The rest is from the blog post of their photos we did as well.

We got to meet Brandon and Mackenzie back in Jan and learned about their beautiful story as well as more about this wedding day at the Wheeler House in Ball Ground, GA. They met when Mackenzie started trying her hand at bowling in a bowling league and he, as well as three of his groomsmen, were in said league and they started hanging out after practice which then eventually led to him proposing near the water wheel at the univ of North GA where they also go back to picnic at the same spot.

The wedding day started with saying hey as well as doing the details photos while I was getting a good feel for the space and doing venue photos/videos. We got to see fun dance moves from the bridesmaids, dress twirling flower girls and the guys getting ready then taking shots together with their custom shot glasses.  We also helped in the exchange of gifts and letters which was fun and is always an emotional moment to read something like that from your almost husband or wife. We then got the last few photos of Mackenzie getting dressed just before doing a first look with her Dad which was super emotional and she even shared a letter and gift with him as well as a first touch with Brandon just before the ceremony. That led straight into getting in place for the ceremony as more and more guests arrived. Once everyone made their way down the aisle, Mackenzie and her Dad were at the top of the aisle and Brandon held back tears a good bit and you could tell they were both so happy and ready for that moment. They shared beautiful vows, their families lit a unity candle and they closed out the ceremony with a kiss as they were pronounced Mr and Mrs Dye. That kicked off Cocktail hour and family formal photos as well as the rest of the wedding party photos and of course romantic photos of the newly weds that ended with having her dress bustled and ready for their first dance.

Once the huge barn doors were slid open and they entered the reception, everyone let out a huge cheer and they went straight into their first dance to Chris Stapleton’s “Starting Over” followed by the Father-Daughter and Mother-Son dances. Both of their Dads then gave a toast for the newlyweds that led into some delicious dinner by Events by Dezine. After dinner was done, we went to cut both cakes which was followed by some amazing toasts by the best man and matron of honor which ended by opening the dance floor which filled up pretty quickly. After a good bit of dancing, we snuck away with the couple to grab a few photos with the Rolls-Royce as well as a few by the ceremony area with the romantic streamed lights then they went back in for some more dancing. When it came time to leave, everyone lined up for a sparkler exit as Brandon and Mackenzie shared one last private dance inside then we all exited together for the sparkler exit leading to the exit car. The night ended with everyone chanting as they are all big fans of UGA and then they got into the Rolls-Royce and drove off into the night. We have already loved seeing some of the beautiful things happening in their lives as Mr. and Mrs. Dye like her teaching awards and fun honeymoon photos so, we can only expect more and are so excited for their future together and the Dye family!
