lara & zack, the photobooth!

January 12, 2012 – 10:40 am

just another sneak peek into lara & zack’s new year’s eve celebration! it was a great evening and much fun was had by all- our photobooth was set up between the dance floor and the bar, so obviously, it was hoppin! let’s get this party started with this fine gentleman in bow tie, cummerbund and cowboy hat-naturally! ;)

the next five images are all of immediate family- just to give you a taste of how fun these families were to capture hanging out and celebrating!

kristen & ben are engaged!

December 29, 2011 – 10:34 am

matt & i just returned home from our annual tour of the southeast christmas adventure to a 49 degree house littered with wrapping paper remnants and tiny pieces of tape and ribbon. it’s good to be home! we’ve been excited to jump back into work so that we can share kristen & ben’s awesome engagement images with you. emails will just have to wait a teensy bit longer. ;) kristen & ben’s shoot fell on a beautifully sunny winter day that felt much more like summer than december ever should- but it was perfect for the shoot! we wandered around the neighborhood a bit, taking advantage of this beautiful landmark red trestle that matt has been wanting to shoot for so long now! next, we ventured into a natural field area just as the sun fell low enough to light up the dried grasses in the most magical way. we really could not believe how beautiful our surroundings were and kristen & ben were so wonderful to capture- always talking to one another and grinning with outbursts of laughter- a recipe for a wonderful relationship (and fantastic images!). we feel really lucky to have captured their relationship and spent such a wonderful afternoon getting to know them even better!

my favorite, so much love and comfort:

jaimie & jonathan are married!

December 20, 2011 – 7:58 pm

i am currently hugely distracted by christmas. we have strings and strings of interior and exterior lights. i’ve closed all the blinds in the house so i can enjoy the warm glow of the tree and mantle even during the day. i’ve had eggnog three times in the last two weeks [ugh!]. so it means a lot for me to say that i haven’t even taken the time to turn the tree on today because i’m happily sitting in the office working as quickly as i can because i just can’t wait to share these images with you! i talked about the amazingness of jaimie & jonathan in their photobooth post and i am really excited for you to scroll down and learn more about these two and their sweet families and friends. there is just nothing better than capturing the wedding day of two people that are so obviously meant to be together. there is such a peace that comes with a wedding like jaimie & jonathan’s, such a trust and understanding and comfort at the base of all of the excitement and celebration. spending the day with these two, matt & i really felt like we were witnessing something very special. there is no denying that these two are madly in love with their best friend and i feel such joy to have been a small part in their celebration.

ok ok, let’s get started with the images! the first time jaimie caught a glimpse of herself just before going to meet jonathan:

her sweet friends were quick with the tissues and comfort:

jonathan, just before seeing his bride for the first time on their wedding day. the excitement and love is so clear:

jonathan couldn’t take his eyes off his lady. it made for sweet pictures. :)

these two LOVE to laugh together, a trait that i really appreciate! we laughed a lot with them:

each of their parents gave a toast and charge to the couple and encouraged them in their new life together- it was such a sweet gesture- i love this image of jaimie’s dad’s toast as he took a moment to compose himself:

and jonathan kissing his mom after her toast:

jaimie & jonathan, thank you for including us in your wedding celebration! we felt blessed to capture it all- best wishes to you!

katie & nikhil are engaged!

November 17, 2011 – 9:57 am

we first met katie & nikhil at our favorite little taqueria down the street from our house. while we talked photography with nikhil, katie fought her way through atlanta’s famously terrible traffic- in a thunderstorm- respect! we sipped on margaritas and munched on chips while rain pounded the streets outside. it was great getting to know katie & nikhil and hearing about their travels around the globe! they’ve already shared so many incredible experiences together (they got engaged while hiking in new zealand! that is their real life, ohmygosh!)- no doubt they’ll have many more adventures in their future! when their engagement shoot rolled around, it was again: raining. but when their rescheduled shoot rolled around it was PERFECT! and about time. these two have such sunny personalities- a stunning fall day was just what they deserved!

i LOVE this next photo, something about the angle and the obvious love of katie & nikhil just makes it:

tiny little skinny alleys are awesome:

i love how this next photo represents atlanta- the huge expanse of brick, the faded coke advertisement, the fall leaves…and of course katie & nikhil making everything more awesome:

katie & nikhil, we had a great afternoon with you guys and we’re so excited about your wedding!

rebecca & harris are engaged!

November 14, 2011 – 2:41 pm

when the leaves begin to turn golden i have a really hard time concentrating. fall is my favorite- the crisp air, the colors, pulling out my boots and scarves, bonfires and rich risottos and of course, all things pumpkin spice. it’s enough to distract me completely. in fact, it took me 5 full minutes to write that last sentence because i started daydreaming at least twice. luckily, rebecca and harris are kindred spirits when it comes to fall love and they chose to have their engagement photos taken on a beautiful november afternoon in the mountains of north carolina. i love them for that! the drive up was stunning and our afternoon with rebecca and harris was perfect. they are just such fun people! easy to talk to, quick to laugh and make the most of every moment. in fact, they spent a full day exploring the little town of highlands, nc, scouting out different settings for their shoot, just to make it perfect! we could not have been happier as we drove through their proposed route before the shoot began- a bed and breakfast with an orchard and a pond? a skinny winding road covered in brilliant leaves and surrounded by towering maples? a quaint boutique hotel with beautiful stonework? rebecca & harris, thank you for setting up the perfect fall day!

after pulling over for a few shots on this beautiful street, we decided to climb down into the woods. thankfully rebecca & harris were up for a little adventure! how many times have we been driving and i’ve commented on how pretty the flowers or trees are on the side of the road?? i do that allll the time. and today was the day to finally pull over and explore- we just couldn’t resist!

we couldn’t resist including this next series of outtakes, getting back to the street was quite scary in slippery boots but luckily rebecca and i had our guys there to help us out- i love these outtakes:

rebecca & harris, thank you guys for such an amazing shoot- seriously, you guys are awesome! can’t wait for the wedding!
