ashley & david are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 2 Comments

i start this post with just a little sadness. engagement session inundation ends here; we’re going miss the great one.on.one time we get to spend with our clients. we’ve learned a lot these last few months doing these shoots but most importantly we’ve decided that letting people be who they are as a couple yields awesome pictures. we love encouraging our couples to suggest a location that means something to them (like the first date spot or the proposal location), bring a fun prop (like an adorable puppy or guitar), and even plan an activity to do while we shoot (like a picnic!). we’ve had an excellent season of creative and fun couples and we couldn’t ask for a better kick off to wedding season!

today i’m really excited to share a few pics from ashley and david’s engagement session on wednesday. they took us to one of their favorite spots outside of atlanta, the ruins of an old paper mill that sherman burned on his march through atlanta. when we got down to the ruins and saw them overrun with ivy (and ants! but we tried to ignore that;)) and perched just beside a river we knew immediately why they love this place. it’s secluded and natural and beautiful, perfect for a couple in love, and perfect for a shoot! ashley and david laughed and kissed and hugged the entire session, it was so cute just to watch them enjoying one another. i love my job. here are a few of our favorite shots:

thanks you guys for a wonderful shoot, you picked a great location and it couldn’t have been more fun! we’re really looking forward to the wedding!

hollee & john are engaged!

hollee and john were just finishing up their meal in the virginia highlands when we showed up to photograph their engagement shoot. it was perfect timing since we wanted to start the shoot at the restaurant where they’d just paid their bill! everybody’s pizza is a favorite spot of theirs; one of their first date’s happened there and they’ve been hooked ever since! we could tell immediately that they were a very athletic couple and they proved it with some serious climbing and balancing skills! Check out a few of our favorite shots below:

this mirror was just leaning against the outside of a shop, it’s as if they knew we’d be coming along looking for interesting shots!

this is where the athleticism came into play, the ledge they are standing on oh so casually is really shallow and about shoulder height off the ground!

a closed restaurant let us sneak in for some shots, i loved the windows…

look at these beautiful people!

so sweet, these two are so playful!

thanks hollee and john for a great shoot, you should know that after the shoot we went and ate at everybody’s in your honor! :)

side note: how do you like the blog and website face lifts!? we’re pretty excited about them, i think they show more personality…whether that is good or bad?! ;) the new photos of us here on the blog are thanks to our awesome friend kate. check her out!

laura and matt were the first couple to hire us when altmix photography became official! we owe them so much; their strong faith in us and our new little business was so encouraging at a time when we really needed it! since then it’s been wonderful to get to know laura and her incredible love for others, especially matt. speaking of matt, i must say, his involvement in the wedding planning process is incredible! not only did he suggest the (oh.my.gosh.incredible!) location for our shoot on sunday, he also came up with some fun pictures for us to take while we were there! these two beautiful people make one dynamite couple, enjoy!

matt, you’re the man for holding this pose!

the always lovely laura!

thank you guys for a stellar afternoon and shoot! you’re truly beautiful inside and out!
