Wedding Inspiration: Romantic Southern Wedding

I am swooning over the photos of this beautiful Georgia wedding on A Crimson Kiss.  The photography was done by Ali Harper Photography.  I am in love with her style.   She really captured some amazing shots of the bride and groom.  I am hoping that Joel and I can recreate some of these shots for our own wedding.  The whole look and feel of this romantic wedding is perfect, exactly the concept that I am looking for ours.
