kristen & ben are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 2 Comments

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:


kristen & ben, thank you guys for sharing such a sweet time in your relationship with us. we can’t wait for the wedding!

ashton & michael are engaged!

a few weeks ago one of our sweet clients, amy, introduced us to the beautiful neighborhood park where she got engaged. we spent some time with her shooting some bridal portraits there and couldn’t wait to return with an adventurous couple! that couple was, undoubtedly, ashton & michael. matt & i arrived early to scope out the location some more and when it was time to meet up with ashton & michael we found them happily chatting on the swings in the playground. we caught up for a while and heard about what an incredible week it had been for them- so many good things are going on in their lives! as we talked, we took a few playground pics, just for fun, and then climbed down into the river. we really love it when clients are relaxed and happy and also trusting of our vision because we are really able to stretch ourselves and try new things. so, HUGE thanks to ashton & michael for being awesome and having fun together no matter what precarious rock we had you perched upon! ;)

we found a small area of densely packed, bare, skinny trees and we kiiiinda got stuck there we liked it so much! and i kiiiinda want to go back here to take our christmas card photo…

i love this next series, such a perfect capture of the fun and love ashton & michael share:

as ashton & michael’s shoot drew to a close, we found ourselves in a dusky blue light. the warm tones of the leaves looked so beautiful in the cool light that we decided to end the shoot with a few reclining images to capture the environment and the serene, calm feeling of the almost empty park. i love these:


ashton & michael, thank you guys for trusting us every step of the way! we really loved our afternoon with you and we cannot wait for your beautiful spring wedding!

katie & nikhil are engaged!

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!
