Beautiful Jekyll Island, GA

I'm really slow at uploading photos but I've finally had the chance to upload even more from GA. I'd tell you that Jekyll Island is beautiful, but then again you can just see it for yourself. Walking around the island felt like walking through a fairy tale ... I've been dreaming of going back ever since.

All over the island are large old oaks covered in spanish moss, just 

as romantic as weeping willows but with that good ole' southern fair.

My car for the weekend.

Though Jekyll Island spans only five miles wide, we rented two of 

these little "Red Bugs" to drive around the island, and the Club Hotel.

And this ... is Jekyll Island Club Hotel, 

twas paradise for a weekend

Though this photo is being really stubborn {because it won't rotate} .. just like the rest of the south, Jekyll Island Club Hotel holds much history. It use to be the Southern Get-a-way for the rich. The Vanderbuilts and Rockefellers we're no strangers to the club and back then was a club with invitation only.

All over the club property palm trees line the street.

And as lovely and inviting as the hotel itself is, on the Club property are a few "cottages" which were essentially summer homes {mansions really} that were errected for some of the club members to come home to in the summer. The "Hwang - Yon" party rented out this cottage ...

The Cherokee Cottage.

The Cherokee had about 15 rooms total with full baths in each room,

a "lobby" and billards room and a King suite fit for ... a king really.

During the day we saw the rehersal dinner seating 

set up outside the front of the cottage, but at night...

... it was even more lovely!

Georgia morning are just as beautiful as Georgia nights.

And though the wedding day got rained on and we had to move everything inside, this was the river front location where the ceremony was suppost to happen.

Can you believe this was only two hours 

before it started raining cats and dogs?

Ok last shot .. while waiting for the wedding day events to commence, I got this awesome shot in the King Suite sunroom while airing out the wedding dress. There's plenty more photos to come!
