Scott and Cristen from {W. Scott Chester Photography} bring us this gorgeous wedding today… two weeks in a row as the SW of the Week for the Chesters! We were immediately in love with the wedding as soon as we saw the bridal portraits. Beth looks absolutely stunning and so happy. In addition, Robert is so handsome in his tuxedo and fun green mum boutonniere. This wedding took place in the North Georgia mountains at the {Wolf Mountains Vineyards}. Read on to hear about how these two beautiful people met and about some very special elements in Beth’s bouquet…
How did the two of you meet? We met our freshman year at University of Georgia and began dating our sophomore year. My roommate, who had gone on a few dates with Robert, introduced us. Coincidentally she is now engaged to Robert’s college roommate.
What attracted me to my husband was: Robert has a contagious sense of adventure. He was always looking for new places to go and he was willing to do just about anything. He pushed me to set new goals and explore myself. Plus he’s really good looking.
What do you love most about your wife? Because she, more than anyone I know, has the courage and drive to make her and our dreams reality, and because she inspires me to never be content with life as it is, to relentlessly experiment with all of life’s opportunity.
A date we went on that we’ll always remember: On one of our first dates Robert took me out to an old rail road bridge to watch a meteor shower. The entire scene was perfect. Water below us and stars falling above. We had our first kiss that night.
Were there any special family traditions you included in the wedding? My mother passed when I was 16, before she died she gave me a cameo pendant that my father made. She asked me to wear it on my wedding day. I put it in the stem of my bouquet.
What was your most memorable moment about your wedding day? Robert: I’ll never forget you turning the corner and starting down the isle. Beth: It would be too hard to pick a favorite intimate moment between Robert and me. I think one of my favorite moments was dancing to the song Wagon Wheel with all of our friends.

Could someone please tell me who the designer of her beautiful dress is? I’ve fallen in love with it!
The flowers are incredibly beautiful. So loving the soft colors!
What a beautiful couple. The bride’s skin looks flawless.
great feature! i didn’t notice how cute the bridemaids’ dresses were the first time i saw this wedding on the chesters blog.
This wedding is basically perfect…wow.
Hi Emie- I’m so glad you liked the dress. It was perfect for a breezy summer wedding and not much fuss. It is a Waters and Waters dress. You can find it on their site but I’ll warn you that it looks a lot different in person than on the Web site. Thanks for the kind comment!
The groom is so good looking he is hard to look at directly.
I think I have seen him before in the April 2005 GQ Spring best looking men in the whole world section.
The wedding and bride look great, but that groom…unbelievably gorgeous. Southern Groom of the Century!
These pictures are beautiful. Who was the photographer? Do they have a website?
Yes, this wedding has amazing photography. The photographers are {W.Scott Chester} out of Atlanta. There is a link at the top to their website. They also have a wonderful blog to check out too on the second post. Check out more of their work on our blog by entering them in the search engine. We even featured one of their weddings in our print magazine, Liza + Tyler.
Is this Watters Style 6033B? This is probably a question for the bride, but she said it looked very different on the website, and indeed, it does! I just want to make sure I’m looking at the right one.
actually, the style number is 5034B! i’ll be wearing the same dress for my wedding next May and i adore it!
