Robbie + Jeanine { chateau elan wedding }

Posted in weddings

Jeanine and Robbie had a short and very sweet ceremony at Chateau Elan a couple weeks ago. I was invited to capture the ceremony and a few portraits of the newlyweds! Jeanine and Robbie, congratulations on your wedding! Enjoy little sneak peek at the images we captured.

I am lovin’ how the yellow flowers compliment his uniform. Pray it almost rains on your wedding day. Not that it actually rains, just almost. Ordinarily 5:30 is not my favorite time to try and shoot in open sun in July. Too bright. Too hot. But not when you have awesome blue storm clouds rockin’ the sky. Nope, not when you have those. Check out Jeanine. Stunning? I think so!

Her handsome groom, Robbie. Gotta love a man in uniform!

After the portraits, everyone had dinner in the Cafe Elan. I did not stay for dinner but I did manage to grab a couple shots of the nice details put together by the staff. Again, lovin’ the yellow!

Willie + Kate | Trash the Dress {atlanta wedding photographer}

Posted in weddings

I will admit, I am unsure of how I feel about the trend of “trash the dress”. In my opinion “trash the dress” sessions can be dated, pointless and frankly, a little silly. But Kate and Willie were super excited about it and it was a tad contagious. Despite my hesitation, I dove right in. (No pun intended) We were a tad aimless, the usual “following the light”, showing some love, splashing in the waterfall and having fun with little thought to what we were creating. But at the end of the day I was near giddy, well… downright giddy… over what we captured. So… I decided, sometimes trash the dress can be cool. If you are shooting it with a couple like Kate and Willie. Because their coolness oozes into whatever they are doing, making the thing they are doing… cool.

So, we started out like this.

And we got a little braver…

ooh la la…

Then we just got plum crazy. At this point, I realized this was not my average photo shoot. I was going to risk my life (or at the very least, risk my livelihood). I was going to climb on big slippery boulders with gigantor camera ’round my neck. And I was going to love every minute of it.

my favorite part of the session, I stood off a bit to capture Kate and Willie “frolicking” in the last few minutes of sunlight.

And finally, saving the best for last. I can’t show this image without stating that I think its my personal all time favorite.

Willie + Kate {frogtown wedding, atlanta wedding photographer}

Posted in weddings

Kate and Willie’s wedding was held at Frogtown in Dahlonega, Georgia. It was perfection (I know,I know, I am redundant, but it WAS!!!) The weather was beautiful. Sunny. But not too hot. Only 87 degrees. (i know, that is hot, but not for Georgia. In July.) The staff at Frogtown was amazing. The family and friends were kind and everyone was such a pleasure! Kate and Willie. Where do I begin? Like many couples I work with, I feel as though we have forged a friendship that goes beyond the pictures and my being your “photographer”. I relished every moment of capturing your day, truly.

Imagine my joy when driving up to this sight? Oh be still, my beating heart.

yes, dear, you made me “gasp”

look at this guy. he is as cool as he looks.

this was like a scene out of a movie as Kate topped the hill with her father. *sigh*

Kate models dresses on the side… ok.. she doesn’t really but she should! (FYI- her dress is from the amazing bridal boutique in Roswell, Georgia called Wedding Angels)…

just one peak from their reception, you will have to watch the slideshow for more! I grabbed this shot during Kate and Willie’s Tango. Quite impressive, it was. Enjoy your slideshow

Matt + Allison {Chateau Elan Wedding}

Posted in weddings

Matt and Allison’s wedding was held in Braselton, Georgia the last Saturday in June. It was absolutely beautiful, what else can I say? From the stunning bride, the handsome groom, the flowers, to the dress, the outdoor ceremony against the backdrop of Chateau Elan, the amazing details of the reception, it was easily one of the most beautiful weddings! CLICK HERE FOR MATT & ALLISON’s SLIDESHOW! I will update the vendor list next week (out of town this week) but wanted to go ahead and give the newlyweds something to hold them over til the remaining images are complete. When they ARE complete (between July 14-16) you can check out their PROOFS (hint: the password is Allison’s maiden name)

The Infinity Show Band (just ask me for a GLOWING recommendation, bc I LOVED them! They are amazingly talented and they kept the party hopping all night!)

And Your Event Solutions did a spectacular job creating a gorgeous reception, they completely transformed the room into something out of a movie. Stunning!

If were a vendor at this wedding, shoot us an email and we will add you to the list!

Mike & Cindy | Wedding {Piedmont Room, Atlanta Wedding Photographer}

Posted in weddings

Mike and Cindy! I love me some Mike and Cindy! I absolutely adore them and after spending the day with their family and friends, it is easy to see how they both have that effect on people! Their beautiful wedding was held at the Piedmont Room in Atlanta, Georgia and as usual, I loved every minute of it. Seriously, these aren’t just words. It is always such a joy and blessing to be able to share in and document these amazing love stories.

I don’t usually blog wedding party images. Especially not “jumping” wedding party images. Let’s just say, some… ahem… professionals think its cheesy. BUT… I gotta admit, they always give me a little comic relief in the post production process. Always. Since this group made me laugh out loud in all their jumpy pictures, I thought I’d share one… just this once!
