Nostalgic Wedding Photo & Video in Dahlonega, GA

Some weddings feel like they’re pulled straight from a memory — soft, sentimental, and laced with cinematic beauty. Elana and Dalton’s wedding at Juliette Chapel in Dahlonega, Georgia was a perfect blend of old-soul romance and personal storytelling. From Elana’s Spanish-inspired bridal look to the intimate forest setting of the chapel, every detail felt like it could have been lifted from a Lana Del Rey music video or a frame in Priscilla.

As a Georgia wedding photography company, we are always searching for weddings that feel uniquely personal — and this one was unforgettable. Elana and Dalton held their formal ceremony at Juliette Chapel with their closest loved ones, followed by a second celebration with friends in New York City.

Getting Ready in the Quiet North Georgia Woods

The morning began slow and intentional — the kind of calm that feels rare on a wedding day. Nestled in the woods of North Georgia, Juliette Chapel creates such a peaceful setting. Surrounded by trees, the chapel’s modern glass architecture lets the natural light pour in, which made for dreamy, glowing portraits.

Elana got ready with her closest friends and family in a tucked-away cabin nearby. Her look was nothing short of timeless — a lace gown with Spanish-inspired details and soft finger waves that added the perfect vintage touch. Her style felt like a love letter to the past, and it set the tone for the whole day.

A Romantic Ceremony at Juliette Chapel

The ceremony itself took place inside Juliette Chapel, which is truly one of Georgia’s hidden gems for smaller weddings. With its floor-to-ceiling windows and minimalist design, it doesn’t need much to feel magical. Dalton waited at the front as Elana walked down the aisle — the light hit just right, and the entire space was glowing with her.

Their vows were personal and full of emotion. There was a stillness in the room that gave everything weight and intimacy — like the world had paused for just a moment so these two could promise their forever.

A Cherry-Topped Wedding Cake & Retro Details

After the ceremony, Elana and Dalton’s celebration continued with a cozy, styled reception that stayed true to their vision. Their cake was one of our favorite details — a simple, white design topped with bright red cherries, giving it that vintage, slightly whimsical feel that fit them perfectly.

Touches of red popped throughout the day, from Elana’s lip to the floral choices, and those hints of color gave everything a nostalgic, mid-century meets modern mood. It wasn’t a traditional wedding in the usual sense — it was styled like a beautiful piece of art that told their story with texture, color, and light.

Custom Movie Poster Portraits

For this couple, we created a set of “movie poster” style portraits for Elana and Dalton after the wedding — and we're honestly obsessed with how they turned out. These images are stylized and dramatic, with a rich, grainy finish that feels like a film still. It was a creative way to reflect the vibe of their wedding day: cinematic, bold, and full of heart.

These posters are something we now offer as an add-on for couples who want a more editorial or nostalgic visual take on their wedding portraits. If you're planning a vintage-inspired wedding and love the idea of making your photos feel like art, this might be the perfect touch.

A Georgia Wedding With New York City Roots

Even though we only captured their Georgia ceremony, knowing that Elana and Dalton continued the celebration in New York City adds such a beautiful duality to their love story. There’s something really poetic about starting your married life in the quiet Georgia woods, and then continuing the party in one of the loudest, brightest cities in the world.

For our team, it felt like a merging of past and present — of Southern stillness and New York intensity. Having lived in NYC herself, there was an emotional layer to this wedding for our CEO, Rachel, as she worked with this couple.
