UPSTAIRS ATLANTA WEDDING | PAIGE AND SPENCER

October 22, 2022

Paige & Spencer’s wedding weekend in Atlanta was infused with color, sunlight, and so much love.

We knew that not a single detail would be overlooked for their wedding celebration (Paige IS a Virgo, after all). The festivities kicked off with a welcome party for all their guests at Politan Row. We even managed to sneak away for some last-minute engagement photos around Midtown before their guests arrived.

From there, the party didn’t stop all weekend! When we arrived to document the girls together the morning-of, T-Swift’s freshly released “Midnights” was blasting & espresso martinis were flowing. All day long, Paige & Spencer truly went above and beyond to make all their friends & family feel the love. Spencer wrote each bridesmaid a note expressing his gratitude for their friendships with Paige (attn men: the bar has been raised). And during his speech, Paige’s dad printed some of his favorite photos of Paige & Spencer from childhoor for guests to flip through and follow along as he shared some really sweet stories and memories. Later in the evening, Paige’s extended fam surrounded her & Spencer on the dance floor to serenade them with a round of hilarious songs.

Enjoy our favorites from their wedding day!

about us

we're shelley AND portugal

Before we were wedding photographers, we were just two kids in love. We met on Instagram and fell in love over FaceTime. A shared interest in roadkill portraiture is what brought us together (it’s a funny story), but what ultimately compelled us to take a chance on long-distance is the fact that we weren’t looking for surface-level. We craved a shared life full of connection, vulnerability, and the kind of love that changes you. Now we bring that same energy to your wedding day to capture the real story, not a performance.
