vanessa & christos are married!

May 14, 2013 – 10:48 am

a long time ago, when it was perfectly acceptable for me to sip margaritas on sunny monday afternoons at holy taco, matt & i had the pleasure of meeting vanessa & christos. they were down to earth and their warm smiles and fascinating stories kept us happily in our seats as the sun fell lower. sometimes during a meeting i find myself wishing i was shooting right then- capturing the way they look at one another as the other talks, capturing the love and laughter as they relay their own story to us. such beautiful moments! but in those times i quickly realize that shooting their wedding day will be a wonderful treat and it makes us even more grateful to them for inviting us in to their celebration. vanessa & christos’ wedding day was so relaxed and full of sweet moments and laughter- we didn’t see any of the stress that can often sneak in- nothing could take away their smiles. they kept such a great perspective on the day, soaking up the smiles of their family and friends, dancing and catching up and still finding quiet moments to be together throughout it all. i really love these two. :)

christos’ quiet words kept vanessa grinning the whole day. it was so sweet to see the two of them so wrapped up in one another, so quick to laugh together and so obviously in love.

i know matt already tweeted this image but i could not leave it out of this post. i love quick moments like this during family portraits- some might consider this an outtake- i think it’s a beautiful image of a family that really loves one another and has a lot of fun. :)

stephanie & josh are married!

March 15, 2013 – 9:22 am

i hope everyone knows a couple as fun and happy as stephanie & josh- a couple who cares deeply about one another and everyone around them and realizes the beauty in every moment.  getting to know the two of them (and their families) was such a blessing for us and capturing their wedding day was such a joy. matt and i are used to observing conversations and hugs and celebration through our lenses but photographing stephanie & josh as they shared such a beautiful day with their friends and family held an extra something that really drew us to them. i think it could be described as intentionality- but it was more than that. no matter what was going on, no matter what they were in the middle of, stephanie & josh always took the time and energy to make every encounter with a guest (or even a vendor!) important and meaningful. stephanie & josh are two people very much in love who also make room to embrace and love others. and life! their adventures in their little village in germany (and europe beyond) are so full of happiness and inspiration as they embrace a variety of cultures different from what they knew stateside. what an inspiration! and what a blessing it was for us to capture their wedding celebration. :)

josh’s mom created this stunning chuppah using the lace from stephanie’s mom’s wedding dress- what a beautiful family heirloom!

early spring weddings in atlanta have the potential to be some of the most beautiful of the year- stephanie & josh’s day was just perfect. the air was cool but the sun added a touch of warmth- so refreshing and rejuvenating!

after the ceremony, stephanie & josh set aside a little time for some twilight portraits in the park. to me, these images are just so peaceful and sweet. just looking at them i can remember how quiet it was in the park and how stephanie & josh sweetly whispered to one another while we photographed them and how the tips of my fingers were tingling with numbness when we entered their warm and inviting reception. what an excellent night. :)

stephanie & josh, thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful day with us- it was a joy to capture it all! we wish you both the very best- please have a delicious german beer for us in the very near future. :)

mary nevin & thomas are married! the U.S. wedding.

January 15, 2013 – 9:36 am

there are lots and lots of things matt & i love about our job. we meet so many amazing people, capture the sweetest moments in the world and attend lovely celebrations full of rich emotion and lots of fun. but it’s just one night. we really do enjoy getting to know all of our couples and their families and, though our feet may be tired after a long day of shooting, it’s always a little sad when it’s all over. but with mary nevin and thomas, when we left their dreamy french celebration, we left with a smile- knowing we’d have the chance to do it all over again in the US! what fun!

mary nevin & thomas followed their warm june wedding with a chilly december wedding in decatur, one of our favorite little downtowns in all of atlanta. i love how these two planned a uniquely southern yet uniquely them celebration- including serving breakfast for dinner at their reception! you guys, there was a pancake bar! why have i never seen this before!? i immediately wanted to host a dinner party at my own house with a pancake bar- i’ve never met anyone who wouldn’t love that. anyway, back to mary nevin & thomas, it was so great to see them again and catch up on their lives- they always have so many awesome things going on! in fact, the day after these images were taken they were skiing in utah- and then a couple of days later they were swimming in a steaming crater. that’s their real life. these two are my heros!

mary nevin is so incredible with kids- we noticed it in france but when we finally got to meet naomi (the precious little one mary nevin used to nanny for) and saw her and mary nevin together it was just the sweetest. these two have such a beautiful bond.

it may have been chilly outside but inside the old decatur courthouse everything was warm and glow-y, i really do love what flickering candlelight can do to a room. so cozy. :)
