Michael and Quinn: An Atlanta Wedding

Remember these two cuties from their engagement session last year?

Well, these two dapper grooms just exchanged vows and said “I do” at The Wimbish House in midtown Atlanta! This glamorous historic venue was decked out in burgundy and navy for the celebration, and DIY details throughout the house added a personal touch to the decor that really reflected Michael and Quinn’s personalities.

After a wholly unsuccessful trek to the Midtown letters (which I’d hyped up at their engagement session, unaware that they’d been removed), we ended up taking a few photos at Colony Square before deciding to return to the classic white sandstone beauty of the Wimbish House for more portraits.

As far as venues go, The Wimbish House is special. She has such a beautiful, quiet elegance amid the hustle and bustle of Atlanta. And she’s in fantastic shape for being 116!

In any case, her stately 1920s ballroom was the perfect place for Michael and Quinn to celebrate their union, and I’m thrilled I got to share in their big day! Congratulations again to you both!

Love is love

This week, the wedding community witnessed yet another hurtful, hateful encounter between a loving LGBTQ+ couple and a vendor who decided not to take them on as clients due to their sexual orientation.

Suffice it to say that discriminatory actions have consequences, and a screenshot of this vendor’s e-mail (and subsequent “apology”) has been shared and re-shared on social media.

But this post is not about them.

I want to make it abundantly clear that Starglass Photography will always, always support LGBTQ+ couples. Love is love, and there is simply no room for hate in the wedding industry.

So to all the couples who have encountered this kind of hatred while planning your wedding, I am so, so deeply sorry that you’ve had to experience that while planning what should be a happy event.

Know that there are many of us in the wedding industry that support you and love you. We’ve got your back, and we would be proud to serve you on the happiest day of your life, lending our skills and talents to make sure your wedding is a beautiful celebration of your love.

Love and hugs,
