Summer Wedding Day at Brasstown Valley Resort

What a truly unforgettable day celebrating Amanda and Michael at Brasstown Valley Resort in the North Georgia mountains! If you’ve ever had a summer wedding in Georgia, you know how hot it can be, but this June day felt more like spring—mild, breezy, and absolutely perfect for a mountain wedding. The stunning backdrop of the resort, with its rolling hills and breathtaking views, set the stage for a day full of love and joy.

Amanda and Michael have one of the sweetest “friends to lovers” stories, and getting to know them throughout the wedding planning process. was such a highlight. They are both so intentional in everything they do, and it showed in every detail of their wedding. From the heartfelt vows to the way they surrounded themselves with close friends and family, their day was a true reflection of who they are as a couple—genuine, warm, and full of laughter.

Brasstown Valley Resort was the perfect setting for their luxury destination wedding. The peaceful mountain surroundings made it feel intimate and personal, while still offering the elegance of a high-end venue. Every moment, from their emotional first look to Amanda’s dad playing sax for their first dance, felt like a special memory in the making.

I’m so grateful to have been a part of Amanda and Michael’s wedding day. I know they’ll have many more incredible years ahead of them, and I’m honored to have captured their beautiful day. Cheers to the Halvorsons and to many more adventures together!
