Luxurious Wedding at the Historic Dekalb Courthouse
kyara + CJ
Wedding at the historic dekalb courthouse
Love stories often begin in unexpected places, and for Kyara and CJ, their journey started at The Marietta Local on a Thursday afternoon in March 2022. Following her hike up Kennesaw Mountain and his court appearance in Cobb County, their paths crossed over brunch when CJ was drawn to approach Kyara's table. That chance meeting would lead them to their magnificent wedding day at the Historic DeKalb Courthouse in Atlanta, Georgia.
The Historic DeKalb Courthouse Transformation
The celebration began at the Thompson Hotel in Buckhead, where the couple prepared separately, sharing emotional letters instead of a first look. Their choice of the Historic DeKalb Courthouse as their venue perfectly balanced CJ's career as a lawyer with their vision for a luxurious celebration. The historic venue was transformed with their modern touch – featuring flower-lined staircases, silver accents, a custom floor design with their logo, and a breathtaking floral arch that framed their ceremony beneath the courthouse's iconic arched windows and marble walls.
Personal Touches and Cherished Moments
Their wedding day was filled with personal touches that made it uniquely their own. The couple exchanged heartfelt vows before their loved ones, and traditional elements were reimagined with special meaning – Kyara shared a dance with both her brothers and honored her mother with her bouquet. As the evening came to a close, guests departed with custom pizza box favors, and the newlyweds made their grand exit in a Rolls Royce, sharing a slice of pizza together as they began their new chapter. Photography and videography by Nova Film Co. captured every meaningful moment at this stunning Atlanta wedding venue.
