The Big Fake Wedding | Athens, Georgia

The Big Fake Wedding is the best idea for people planning weddings. Engaged couples get to come and see a “fake wedding” that’s actually a vow renewal for a real couple. They can see all the vendors working as they would on a real wedding day and they actually get to meet them after the “ceremony”!

I had so much fun working with all the vendors and was absolutely honored to photograph an event that I’ve adored from afar for years – I’m so glad they finally came to Athens! For your reference, all vendors are listed after the photos at the bottom of this post!
