laura & jason are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 8 Comments

i’d like you to meet two of our newest favorite people, laura & jason! as many of you who have contacted us know, we’re pretty busy so it’s not easy for us to schedule shoots with short notice unless you’re super hardcore (laura & jason) and willing to get up at 5am to get ready to shoot by sunrise. ridiculous, right?! i mean who in the world looks this rockin’ at 6:30 am?! to put it in perspective matt and i, literally, dressed in the dark- it wasn’t until we arrived that i realized matt had on a light blue vneck, brown plaid shorts and orange socks with his old green pumas and i wasn’t much better. let’s pretend we dressed like that on purpose to elicit smiles and giggles from laura and jason. bottom line, our clients never cease to amaze us; laura and jason, you did a fabulous job being in love in front of the camera- we had a great time with you two:

poor jason- soccer has destroyed his knees. i’m pretty sure this look is masked pain from getting into this position in the first place. i found out about all of the surgeries after this and felt so bad for asking him to take a seat on the ground! i have perfectly healthy knees and it’s not always easy to just drop to the ground- and then there’s getting back up! jason- you’re the man.

how perfect is it that jason holds both of laura’s hands in his one hand!? i love it.

this next black and white is one of my all-time favorite engagement pics we’ve taken. i think it’s just such so beautiful of them.

anna & jason are married!

By | Weddings | 6 Comments

saturday was a perfectly beautiful day for a wedding, really cool for august and sunny as can be. absolutely nothing could damper anyone’s spirits- not even the fact that many of us stayed up until the opening ceremonies ended and the groomsmen’s tee time was at 8:45- it was just that beautiful outside. while the men golfed (much to anna’s surprise, ‘jason doesn’t really golf?’) the ladies enjoyed some quality time and amazing southern cooking at sally’s, a cozy little house turned restaurant. the next stop for the girls was the salon to tell stories, laugh, drool over purses, and take turns with candie, their favorite stylist. i’ll quit talking for now and share a few of our fave images:

after everyone’s hair looked fabulous and a purse might have been purchased the ladies made their way to the church to finish getting ready, relax and grab a few little snacks before the ceremony:

we really really love taking time with a couple to grab some shots of the two of them together, soaking in that this is the day they’ve been anticipating for so long. it’s always so sweet to watch the couple forget the hustle and bustle and focus on each other…and it makes for such honest images!

the band started and the party began, and oh, so many happy people everywhere! there were glistening eyes all around as anna and jason, high school sweethearts and now husband and wife, were introduced. here are a few of our favorite moments:

anna & jason, congratulations! in all your years as a couple it seems you only fell further in love and learned better and better how to care for each other. watching your families celebrate your marriage was a beautiful thing and we thank you so much for asking us to be part of it. enjoy the caribbean and relax together, we wish you the best!

carly & chris are married!

By | Weddings | 5 Comments

carly and chris are totally laid-back, fun and completely in-love, so basically the clients of our dreams. :) hanging out with them at their beautiful wedding made for a rockin’ saturday! even though carly was fighting a sore throat, she spent the day smiling, making sure everyone else (especially chris) was having a great day and even forcing a few morsels of food into her butterfly-filled stomach. good move, girl! *brides, even though you don’t want to, please eat on your wedding day, you’ll need the energy!* sorry, small tangent. moving on. :) the ceremony was a beautiful, the first mass i’d ever been to! holy family catholic church was wonderful about including so many of their friends and family in the mass through readings and serving, it was quite a personalized ceremony. the reception was at the church’s beautiful and huge social hall and oooh yes, the food. atlanta’s own affairs to remember put together four elegant spreads of incredible food, check them out if you’re in the market! (or if you just like reading menus…um, like me.) ok, here are a few of our favorite images from saturday!

carly’s dress was stunning; we both agreed that the bottom was our favorite part!

matt took this next image through the handle of the florist’s box. the sneak peek of the beautiful bouquets is quite tantalizing, no?

chris and his dad, relaxing before the ceremony:

i included this next image because it cracks me up. i hope it’s not one of those ‘you had to be there’ funny things; i’d hate to do that to you! but really, these two kids were convinced that they could trigger our lights with awesome dancing- they spent quite a while testing different moves to persuade it to go off. what was funny to me was matt was sitting right behind them waiting and when they did something ridiculous enough he’d take a picture and the light would flash, i could not control my laughter!

carly’s mom had this smile going 100% of the day, even through her happy tears! she was so excited for carly and chris to be married and her smile was so contagious!

carly & chris, thank you guys for asking us to be part of your day, it was perfect! we so enjoyed watching you love each-other and your guests all day. i hope maine is incredible and the lobster and laughter is abundant, best wishes to you!! :)
