{Susanna + Justin} – I adore this couple.  Gandy Photographers really captured their warmth and youthful spirit in these images.  How fun is her dress?  Some might think it’s a modern look, but t-length gowns were very common in Southern wedding history.  My grandmother wore a beautiful t-length dress just like Susanna’s.  Another fun tidbit:  They had a Kentucky Derby-theme rehearsal dinner the night before and asked guests to wear big beautiful hats.
