Rob and Chaney met in Lexington, Kentucky where they both had spent a great bit of their lives before moving to Atlanta, Georgia together in 2016.
Lexington had been “home” for so long, it was an extremely tough decision for us to move. We decided it would be best for our family and careers to take the plunge and move to Atlanta. Rob proposed a few months later (November 5, 2016) in Piedmont Park at sunrise, on my late Grandmothers birthday.
For us, it was never a question as to ‘if’ we would get married in Lexington, KY, it was just ‘where?’. Rob was pretty adamant that we not have a country club wedding, it just didn’t feel like “us”. So, we searched for an unconventional reception space that could hold both us and Rob’s massive family, and wasn’t saturated with wedding receptions. Through multiple connections we found ourselves at Kroger Field and we knew it was our spot. Rob and I both went to Kentucky, and having our reception at a football stadium in a room sponsored by Woodford Reserve is about as happy as I could make Rob Riddell!

“We exchanged numbers and decided to get ice cream the following day… we’ve been together ever since & as corny as it sounds, it was love at first sight.” -Chaney
We met Rob and Chaney in Savannah to photograph their engagement pictures… these two are beautiful and fun and Rob lived up to his “high on life 24/7” description that Chaney warned us of! “He’s one of a kind and I love every bit of him!” I think you can see that in their photos. We were honored to capture their love and will be photographing their wedding in Lexington this November where I’m sure we’ll have just as much fun together!
