emily & matt are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | No Comments

every september i’m surprised by the power of a couple of cool days to drive me outside. the first day i get to wear long sleeves with my shorts i do a little dance- really, long sleeves and shorts really changes things around the altmix house. for the last couple of weeks, matt & i have eaten every meal on the porch and biked as many places as possible. getting outside and enjoying how beautiful atlanta is in the fall is my favorite. and now to the list of ‘things we do to enjoy georgia in the fall’ i will add, in permanent ink, relaxing in a sunset of yellow daises at stone mountain park. seriously, i’ve never been so blown away by georgia’s beauty than the afternoon we spent with emily & matt wandering through the daises and across the blue-shadowed expanses of stone in the warm setting sun. and actually, i think i’ll add that we’re going to take emily & matt with us- because they are so much fun! they’re adventurous and laid back and up for anything- and they love being outside, surrounded by beauty, just as much as we do. as the four of us walked up to the huge granite bald that is stone mountain, matt & i were both overwhelmed by our surroundings- we actually had to take turns reminding one another that we were going to eventually lose light and there were so many other spots we wanted to try and we needed to move on! we’d been to stone mountain once before- on a foggy, rainy afternoon last summer- and we somehow missed the beauty of it but this time, not one detail was lost. as much as we tried to shoot efficiently, we still shot well into sunset- not realizing we were in complete darkness until we turned to finish the walk back to our cars- what a wonderful problem to have! :) emily & matt were troopers throughout and when we parted in the parking lot i really felt like we were leaving old friends. here is just a small sampling of our very favorite shots:


emily & matt, we had so much fun at your shoot- thank you for taking time out of your limited time in the same city to take some images! we are so looking forward to your wedding!

sheri & brad are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 5 Comments

when sheri & brad met us for dinner a few months ago, we immediately realized there was something special about them. these two radiate life- i’m going to try to describe that more fully but i’m not sure i’ll succeed. their eyes sparkle, they speak passionately, they live intentionally- they’re inspiring. we talked with them about everything from gardening to pets to cooking and we found ourselves seeking their opinions on these things. they are so open and down to earth (and really knowledgable!), i had to check myself because i realized i kept asking questions about anything and everything not at all related to their wedding. ;)

i mean, who wouldn’t want to be this stunning, relaxed and blissfully happy!?

for their engagement images, sheri & brad decided to take us to a place very special to them- lake lanier. there, their sailboat is docked and the quiet water gleams. the afternoon we spent with them was perfect, ending in a beautiful sunset sail and a twilight dinner shared by all. we really are so blessed to have sweet clients like sheri & brad!


sheri & brad, thank you again for sharing such a beautiful evening with us! we really enjoyed getting to know you better and photographing you in this sweet spot. we can’t wait for your wedding! :)

crystal & daniel are married!

By | Weddings | 3 Comments

crystal & daniel are best friends. they’ve seen each other through so many of life’s twists and turns and, as friends, they encouraged one another through everything. they share a passion for intentional community and seeing them surrounded by so many close friends on their wedding day made obvious how important they are in the lives of so many. but crystal & daniel don’t just share a deep love for their friends and family, they also share a passion and determination to help the less fortunate all over the world. it was through serving and sharing this passion that they fell in love. currently, they are both working with nonprofits, impacting the world around them with an incredible amount of energy and love. together, they are a powerful force of good- bringing happiness and healing to whoever is blessed to meet them. crystal & daniel are two people who share one heart. for us, spending a day with them and listening to their friends and family speak about their selflessness and dedication to making our world a better place, was such a blessing and such a joy to capture. here are a few of our favorite images from their day:

crystal & daniel allotted plenty of time for portraits after their ceremony- we loved it! :) we drove to several locations and explored a variety of landscapes:

FAVORITE:

reception time!

while crystal’s dad gave his speech, daniel’s dad translated his words into english- it was a happy but emotional time for everyone and seeing the friendship between their two families was so sweet:


crystal & daniel, we feel so blessed to have been a part of such a beautiful celebration and the beginning of your new life together, thank you. we wish you the very best!
