[ note: i thought of a famous actress the whole time we were shooting, i hope you see it too :) ]

anna and jason were engaged in the beautiful founder’s garden on campus at the university of georgia; seems like the perfect place to start their engagement shoot, right? well, matt and i arrived early (as usual) to scout out the location, and as we walked up the hill to the garden the top of a white tent appeared, then a bar complete with glasses and tender came into view, then round tables with extravagant flower arrangements, and finally the caterer who informed us the garden was reserved for a reception. right theme, wrong day, founder’s garden! when anna and jason arrived we grabbed a few shots around the perimeter of the garden before deciding to head to a nearby lake. on the way they stopped to change into more casual clothes and pick up lily, the fiesty little puppy jason gave anna two years ago. at first little lily was afraid of the camera, retreating behind anna or jason. next she decided to attack the camera and bark and lunge at the lens (and subsequently matt, haha)! finally she realized the camera must be nice because mommy and daddy are paying it a lot of attention and seem to be smiling a lot! so then she became a bit of a camera hog, but an adorable one! here are a few of our favorite pics from the day:

thank you anna and jason for being so fun and flexible! i’m so glad that it worked out for us to do your engagement pics, it was great getting to know you guys before the big day! we’re looking forward to the wedding!

we were really excited when (after lots of correspondence) anna sent us a message letting us know she wanted us to capture her big day! it was like trying out for an exclusive team, and we made it! yeay! we love it when clients really connect with our style and choose us because they really think we’ll capture the day the way they want to remember it (how it really happened!); anna and ray are certainly that couple! it was great to meet up with them wednesday at centennial olympic park for some fun shots full of color and sun and buildings(?)! anna and i discovered we share a slightly embarrassing addiction to the show america’s next top model; i have to say, she’s learned way more from that show than i have! check out these shots

look at the way she’s gazing up at him, so in love!

for all you photo junkies, notice how well-lit their smiles are and where the sun is? we have the insane glare off the city windows to thank for that, love it!

anna, this next shot is just for you, i know you love those shoes (even through the pain ;))!

anna and ray are pretty much expert frolickers:

and the sun started to set, this is my favorite shot, matt took it, he’s got an eye for dramatic lighting!

thanks anna and ray for an awesome afternoon! we really enjoyed laughing with you guys, can’t wait for the wedding!

leanne & ed are engaged!

when we first met with leanne and ed about shooting their wedding in may, they made one thing very clear: they strongly dislike having their pictures taken. to quote leanne, “we’ve been together almost 2 years and have a total of two pictures of us together to put on our wedding website!” that being said, invitations were going out saturday and it was time to bite the bullet and grab some good shots before guests start visiting their site! we met up with leanne and ed sunday evening at front page news. they enjoy meeting there for lunch during the week so we thought it’d be a sweet place to start their engagement shoot. to their own surprise, they quickly learned to ignore the cameras and we had a couple hours of laughter and fun (and only a slight run-in with semi law-enforcement ;))! we’re so proud of you guys!!

i’m so glad you could use these to pretty up your wedding website! we’re looking forward to may!
