lesley & michael are engaged!

October 2, 2008 – 9:26 am

i got to know lesley while hanging out with her as she performed her maid of honor duties at anna and jason’s wedding. she kept everyone laughing while making sure everything was perfect for anna- now it’s her turn! lesley and michael will be married in april and no doubt anna will be there for lesley just as lesley was for anna. that’s what best friends are for!

last thursday, after scouring atlanta for gas, we took off for thomaston, ga for lesley and michael’s engagement session. we met at michael’s family’s home for a more personal and intimate shoot. as we explored the property we found out that michael is a probation officer and lesley is a high school teacher on her way to law school- the perfect combo for crazy stories! i can only imagine these two regaling one another with stories over dinner, every night, for the rest of their lives. there will be a lot of laughter in their house!

shilpa & toby are engaged!

August 15, 2008 – 12:52 pm

matt spent wednesday afternoon enjoying one of his new favorite things, sailing, while shooting an engagement session for an incredible couple from chicago. i haven’t been this jealous in a while; as i got dinner together, matt recounted his afternoon. i listened carefully knowing that we’d be shooting their wedding this weekend and wanting to get to know them as much as possible first. matt told me about how kind they are to one another and how relaxed and comfortable they are together. as doctors in the windy city, shilpa and toby are always learning, teaching and helping. while matt talked about how shilpa listened closely to toby as he gently taught her how to sail, i could see clearly why these two are so successful professionally and also personally, together. it will be beautiful to watch them pledge their lives to one another tomorrow.

later last night while we were watching the olympics matt looked up quickly and said there was one more thing he wanted me to know about them. ‘they like the office!’ ah, saturday will be a good day!

shilpa & toby, we’re looking forward to seeing you guys tonight and tomorrow. i can’t wait to spend time with you and your family and friends!

laura & jason are engaged!

August 13, 2008 – 10:52 am

i’d like you to meet two of our newest favorite people, laura & jason! as many of you who have contacted us know, we’re pretty busy so it’s not easy for us to schedule shoots with short notice unless you’re super hardcore (laura & jason) and willing to get up at 5am to get ready to shoot by sunrise. ridiculous, right?! i mean who in the world looks this rockin’ at 6:30 am?! to put it in perspective matt and i, literally, dressed in the dark- it wasn’t until we arrived that i realized matt had on a light blue vneck, brown plaid shorts and orange socks with his old green pumas and i wasn’t much better. let’s pretend we dressed like that on purpose to elicit smiles and giggles from laura and jason. bottom line, our clients never cease to amaze us; laura and jason, you did a fabulous job being in love in front of the camera- we had a great time with you two:

poor jason- soccer has destroyed his knees. i’m pretty sure this look is masked pain from getting into this position in the first place. i found out about all of the surgeries after this and felt so bad for asking him to take a seat on the ground! i have perfectly healthy knees and it’s not always easy to just drop to the ground- and then there’s getting back up! jason- you’re the man.

how perfect is it that jason holds both of laura’s hands in his one hand!? i love it.

this next black and white is one of my all-time favorite engagement pics we’ve taken. i think it’s just such so beautiful of them.

sherry & trammell are engaged!

June 25, 2008 – 2:31 pm

sherry and trammell are rockstars, not the literal singing sweating type, the ‘rock at life’ type. sherry is totally a city gal but she she grew up in rural oregon so she wanted some big city shots to share with her family. trammell is a teacher so he’s off for the summer right now and i’m hoping these pics convince him to take up modeling part time. ;) together these two are just dynamite and totally down to earth, we had a great time hanging out with them grabbing some city shots. so without further ado, sherry and trammell!

it took a little convincing from all of us but we finally talked trammell into leaving on his signature shades for a few shots. i really love these next few, totally ‘them’! sherry loves how tall trammell is and we wanted to take a few shots that really captured that! i love this black and white, sherry, you look amazing (per usual, hah).

soooo sweet, unbeatable:

sherry & trammell, you guys are so perfect together! it was great to meet you guys and hang out last friday, and trust me, as soon as luda’s food and wine hits the shelves i’ll be the first one to grab it! :) trammell, seriously : MODEL. :)

ashley & joel are engaged!

June 13, 2008 – 3:12 pm

this past sunday despite the oppressive humidity ashley and joel rocked their engagement shoot! we met up with them during our favorite time of day, the golden hours, at the savannah rapids pavilion in augusta, georgia. i noticed their connection right away; it can be difficult to feel comfortable with the camera right from the start but these two were so into each other they had very little trouble ignoring the lens. ;) they told us how they got engaged and the way they took turns telling parts of the story was so perfect and sweet, i only know them a little and it made me so happy that they are together! matt and i left the shoot more excited than ever about their wedding day and until then ashley and i will certainly keep in touch thanks to our parallel cooking obsessions! without further ado, here are a few of our favorite images!
