Introducing River Run

We teamed up with the truly talented ladies of Once Wed, along with one of our favorite photographers, Buffy Dekmar, for this gorgeous wedding shoot at a brand new venue just north of Atlanta. Only a hop, skip and a jump away in Sandy Springs, River Run is one of the best finds we have ever imagined, we were immediately in love. Tucked away on the banks of the Chattahoochee, River Run is a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the city. Serene and dreamy, this venue is ideal for couples looking for a more secluded ceremony and celebration.

Joy Thigpen exhibited her vast talents during this shoot, serving as the creative director, stylist, hair and makeup artist and floral designer. And our ingenious Alison Lueker-Ritter created menu items that complimented all the artistic elements Joy dreamed up. From the deep purple of beet, topped with smoked trout and creme fraiche, to the arugula salad with rich red pancetta crisps and bright butternut squash, this palate was just perfect, and allowed us to showcase the remarkable beauty of fresh food. And of course, Buffy Dekmar, one of our skilled Studio1658 vendors, caught every ounce of boho-chic beauty that was created by Joy, Alison, and Mara, an amazing calligrapher and brilliant mind behind Neither Snow, to give future brides inspiration for their River Run wedding.

Once again, we are humbled to discover the amazing things that a handful of talented people can create together, and thankful to have the opportunity to join in any effort with these lovely ladies. To see more from this photo shoot, visit Once Wed and be sure to book your appointment to see River Run today!
