WEDDING VENUE HIGHLIGHT | 255 MILLEDGE HARDEMAN-SAMS HOUSE | ATHENS, GEORGIA Every photographer has a place that makes their creativity light up and 255 Milledge is mine! One of my favorite things is seeing a business owner that CAN do the bare minimum & “make it”, but CHOOSES to go above and beyond instead. When I first got to shoot at 255 Milledge Hardeman-Sams House, it had recently been renovated by Kim Moss and back on the wedding market with a whole new design. Over the past few years, I’ve gotten to watch this venue slowly take a whole new feel with something new every time I visit! 255 Milledge brings the Charleston classic chic vibe to Athens! (If you know me, you know Charleston is one of my FAVORITE places to visit, so it feels like a destination wedding right on Milledge Avenue!) I’m excited to share these top FIVE reasons why 255 Milledge is one of my favorite venues!  01. THE GUARANTEE OF GORGEOUS PHOTOS In a previous blog post, I shared tips on how to guarantee gorgeous wedding photos. (You can read it here) Every tip has to do with your choice of VENUE and 255 Milledge checks every single box. The white walls and numerous windows provide excellent light and clean backgrounds that can be used regardless of the weather.  02. A CLASSIC CITY FAVORITE Not only is 255 Milledge a wedding venue, but they provide space for other Athens events, making their location a hub of entertainment in the Classic City! This venue isn’t just a “pretty building”, it’s piece of history in Athens and an iconic location to anyone who has ever called Athens home.
03. BLANK SLATE FOR CUSTOMIZATION Although I have photographed several weddings at 255 Milledge, each one has looked entirely different. They offer multiple options for reception and cocktail hour locations and design! One of my favorite reception styles includes a tent covering their spacious reception area behind the house. (Note: white tents take the BEST reception photos because the light can bounce!) 04. UNIQUE VENUE DETAILS There are trends within the wedding industry that will often be repeated from location to location. One of my favorite things about 255 Milledge is that their style is their own. It’s classic, chic and welcoming with unique details you won’t find anywhere else!   05. KIM MOSS – THE OWNER AND OPERATOR
Lastly (but most importantly), Kim Moss and her team are unbeatable in client care. Every wedding I’ve photographed at her venue, I’ve watched Kim go above and beyond what is “expected” of a venue owner. She cares for her clients like she would a dear friend and her team shares her attitude. More about 255 Milledge: Visit the website Contact the venue

Recently, the dining room inside served as the luncheon location for the Panhellenic Committee's House Mother's Luncheon. We wanted them to feel comfortable, yet honored as special guests, and we also wanted it to be fun! With the amazing team at LRG, serving up always delicious bites, and Kim's team of hosts, we joined forces with Brett at European Floral, Off The Wall Photo Booth, and Anna Shackleford Photography to set the tone and create a luncheon to be remembered.Recently, the dining room inside served as the luncheon location for the Panhellenic Committee's

Chelsea + Padraic
These two are the definition of sweethearts. Their genuine love for each other was so apparent and made for such a magical day. Chelsea was a beautiful bride who incorporated so many thoughtful and unique elements in her day, including a gorgeous bouquet that she made herself filled with vintage brooches. We are also loving the Captain America details (pay close attention to the cake topper.) There are even some pretty incredible details for all the dog lovers out there
| When you're wedding season begins with these two and a weekend as amazing a this past, you're hugely grateful. Not only are Allie & Blake and their family and friends such kind and thoughtful souls, but spring definitely was showing off for their big day! A big congrats & cheers to the Hudson's! | Venue: 255 Milledge Hardeman-Sams House | Wedding Coordinator & Florals: Sheila Rivera Weddings | Cake: Cecilia Villaveces Cakes | Catering: Mama's Boy | DJ: Rob Clark | Makeup Artist: Bombshell Creations | Hair Artist: Kim Finley | Bridesmaid's Dresses: Azazie | Men's Attire: Men's Warehouse | Rentals: Goodwin Events | Second Shooter: Ivey Gibb Photography |
