Rachel and Darby's E-Session at Georgia Tech

I wanted to thank Darby and Rachel for taking me around Georgia Tech. I haven't visited there often, so it was nice to see it up close. Some parts of the campus reminded me of Rhode Island School of Design (where I ended up graduating from in 1999) It was also great that we were able to get into the stadium to shoot a few photos. I'm so excited to shoot their wedding in October at Oak Grove Baptist Church with a reception to follow at the Biltmore in Atlanta GA.

Here's a sneak peek at Katie and Josh's wedding

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of photographing Josh and Katie's wedding. We had planned on sunny, outdoor shots, but when the rain put a damper on that, we came up with an alternative plan. I really wanted to strive for a shot that would knock their socks off. A big thank you to Katie and Josh for trusting me when I asked them to go outdoors for a few minutes during the reception - even though it was still raining. Here is a sneak peak from their wedding:

Ella Wills at 9 months

Last week I was able to photograph sweet Ella for her 9 month portrait shoot. Ella's mother Shala ended up bring a high chair that her husband used when he was a child and her father's horse saddle as a prop. Even though it was a hot spring afternoon Ella did an awesome.

Dustin and Elizabeth's E-Session in Suwanee, GA

I don't believe I've ever visited Suwanee, GA, but it is lovely out there. If you can tolerate the allergies, springtime in the south is visually stunning. The neighborhood that Elizabeth's parents lived in was amazing. Many of the photos you see were taken at the neighborhood. We look forward to seeing them in June for the wedding.

Kevin and Jessica's E-Session at Stone Mountain Park, GA

We shot Kevin and Jessica's engagement photos at Stone Mountain, which is always so picturesque. Engagement sessions are great because I really get to know the couple and how they interact. I discover things I could never learn at a meeting and in turn, the bride and groom get to know me. It's a friendship in progress. We're looking forward to Sept for the big day!

Amy and Josh Brown wed at Flint Hill

I love the progression of a wedding day and seeing ordinary events become extraordinary. Every day we do hair, make-up; we get dressed. But on a wedding day, there is such attention to every detail. The normally mundane becomes an event we want to remember, always. Our day started at Lake Oconee; we had to take advantage of the water on such a perfect spring day. We alternated being silly and serious, switching from formal portraits to horsing around with an oar. From Lake Oconee we moved to Flint Hill where we met up with Josh. His father was his best man, which added a deeper dimension of meaning as he helped Josh get dressed. Amy and Josh's enthusiasm for each other and for this day reminds us of why we love our job. Thank you to Amy and Josh for a wonderful day; we wish you much happiness in your marriage.
