rebecca & harris are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 4 Comments

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!

sarah & wilson are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 2 Comments

when sarah & wilson mentioned having their engagement photos taken on wilson’s family’s property in north georgia we were excited. for us, it meant a trip out of our busy city and into the land of spacious farms, quiet ponds and sweet air- refreshment! we didn’t know quite what to expect but as we neared the property and turned onto a wooded, gravel road, we began to get excited about all of the possibilities. we’re used to shooting in atlanta and making the most of 8 square feet of grass between two buildings so walking through this property, green as far as we could see, felt so luxurious! we really enjoyed our afternoon with sarah & wilson- getting to know them as a couple and finding that we share a love of all things athens and all things outdoors (although we aren’t nearly as hardcore and in shape, they’re awesome!). our shoot ended with a beautiful sunset and we drove back toward the city lights with dust clinging to our shoes and a renewed thankfulness that we have such wonderful clients. :)

this next location was my favorite of the whole shoot! the trees are so huge and so dense that they let in only small beams of light, like little spotlights! i just loved the drama of it:

as the sun sank lower, the sun warmed to a gold and filtered through the green leaves, electrifying the color. it was as if sarah knew the exact shade to expect when she chose her outfit!

LOVE this next image! i think it perfectly portrays how peaceful and relaxing this whole shoot was as well as how comfortable and in love these two are:


sarah & wilson, thank you so much for getting us out into the country for such a great afternoon with you guys! looking forward to your wedding day!

yvonne & jesse are engaged!

love these two!

the first time we met yvonne & jesse, they were both sick. we felt SO bad- we could have rescheduled our meeting! but no, the night of our first introduction to yvonne & jesse, we found out right away that they are incredibly driven, excited & passionate- nothing slows them down- not even the lousy summer cold they were fighting! so that night we shared a delicious dinner and great conversation and as we left we made plans to grab another meal soon. a couple months later, over brunch, we discussed their engagement images- they love good food as much as we do and they chose to have their images made in and around two of their (and our!) most favorite restaurants, leon’s and sun in my belly! we spent a sunlit afternoon exploring and catching up on life, wedding planning and the atlanta food scene…and also taking pictures! ;) here are just a few of our faves:

yvonne seems to be always overflowing with happiness! her smile is so brilliant and jesse knows exactly how to trigger it. i really have no idea what he was whispering to her while we were shooting but just looking back over these images makes me smile, remembering just how adorable they are together:

LOVE this next photo. yvonne is just stunning:

yvonne & jesse have two awesome scooters to get around town and if they ever need a car they use a zipcar! i like their style. we grabbed a few images with the scooter they arrived on before following them (shooting from our car, haha) to the next location, fun!

we ended the evening underneath marta, so romantic! but really:


yvonne & jesse, we are so glad to know you! you’re such a special couple and capturing the deep connection you two so obviously share was a joy. cannot wait for the wedding!
