Allison and Dean: Married in Rising Fawn
I have now nicknamed Rising Fawn, ‘Georgia’s Bermuda Triangle.’ As a Georgia Native myself and one who loves to drive all over, I really thought I had seen all of my state, I was so wrong! When Allison first contacted me I had to run to Google, to find out where such a place could be. Nothing says Bermuda Triangle, than only being able to access this area by either driving up into Chattanooga, TN and back down or driving west into Alabama and turning back into Georgia. WEIRD!
Despite the logisitics of the location, WOW what a location! General Woods Inn does not disappoint with it’s military decor touches throughout the house and the most incredible views! Killer! Despite having both the bride and groom graduating just a few days prior to the wedding, both were cool, calm and excited to get the day started.
A&D, I wish you two the absolute best as you prepare to pack and move with your assignment. Many wishes and best of lucks in your future!

Ashley and Jeremy: Married in Douglasville
Always quick with a smile, Ashley radiated from head to toe that day. Heels were killer, hair was fabulous, makeup superb, gorgeous in general. The moment she stepped into the dress, everyone in the room was spellbound. As Ashley and her father walked down the aisle I’m pretty sure that Jeremy’s reaction wasn’t far from her bridesmaids.
So much laughter, dancing and fun filled the day. Mrs. Aura, oh my goodness, I’m coming to you for dance lessons! That was a rocking reception!
Ashley, I wish you much success as you start a new chapter at MCG. A&J, I wish you nothing but the absolute best!

Christine and Mike: Married at Villa Christina
The forecast was spotted with torrential downpours days leading up to the wedding. Rehearsal was met with sheets of rain and the morning of started out overcast. Checking my iphone for the doppler just before meeting up there was not a green blob to be found on the screen. Prayers had been answered and as we drove over to Villa Christina, I had to dig for my long lost sunglasses. It was going to be a bright, bright, sun shiny day.
Christine and Mike, you are truly blessed in having found each other, having such a wonderful group of family and friends that traveled great distances to be with you on your special day, and the bright future that lays ahead.
Best wishes!

Ashley’s Bridal Portrait: Georgian Terrace Hotel
Ashley and Jeremy are married!!
Images soon to come so in the meantime I have been dying to share with everyone Ashley’s bridal portraits from a few weeks ago. Trail runs for hair and makeup plus a photo shoot were scheduled weeks in advance with no clue that the heavens would be opening up that Saturday. Scrambling last minute we found the Georgian Terrace as a back up plan. Some back up plan! This Atlanta landmark is beyond words. I received a mini tour from the concierge and couldn’t stop drooling. I wish I owned a semi truck, I just wanted to throw all of their furniture I found in the lounge, restaurant, bar, dining room, everywhere in my car and run away. Fabulaous with a capital F! Insert gorgeous bride and a few hours to explore and you have yourself a fun afternoon! I could have spent hours more.
Ashley, you are just beyond beautiful, I am in love with your dress and I truly had so much fun with you that Saturday and today! I wish you only the best!!
Go Wesleyan!

Jade and Logan: Prom 2010
I blinked several times, hard, looking in the rear view mirror double checking that I really saw a 1939 Oldsmobile pull up behind me. Jade popped out of the back of the Olds (the car had suicide doors!!) and with Logan not far behind we managed to slip in an awesome photo shoot in between down pours of rain.
I suggested the downtown strip of Ball Ground after hearing of Jade’s interest in something outside the box. As if trapped in a time warp, Ball Ground still has its share of abandoned buildings filled with an array of marble and rocks plus a faded Coca-Cola sign painted on the side.
Up for anything, friends Jade and Logan introduced me to a sweet new spot with an old warehouse that is on the verge of being swallowed whole by Georgia’s finest kudzu.
J&L, thanks so much for a fun, a bit humid, Saturday night. So glad you had fun at prom!!

Therese and Peter : Engagement in Rome/Berry College
I met Therese last year as she stood at the alter supporting her brother and new sister-in-law as they exchanged wedding vows.
Fast forward to this year I was more than excited to get an email inquiring if I was available to document her upcoming wedding this June. As we were hammering out plans and details for the engagement session, I asked Therese to tell me a bit more about their day and I fell in love with her all over again on her reply.
Touching on details of her day Therese wrote, “both of us value our Catholic faith and believe it is one of the most important aspects of our relationship. We plan to have a very orthodox Catholic wedding with a Mass. We really want a bright summer wedding. The colors we have for the wedding will be yellow, orange, reds, and greens.”
Speaking for herself she wrote, “I’m very bubbly and outgoing. I have a love for life as well and enjoy being with close friends and family.”
Describing her soon to be husband Therese wrote, “Peter is a wonderful man who is very giving and generous. Although at times he can be shy and reserved, he has a determined spirit that enjoys life.”
Going back to the grounds where Peter first proposed to Therese, on the grounds of Berry College in Rome, we met to tour the campus with our photo shoot. Since Berry College is the largest campus in the world, it certainly allowed us plenty of space and locations for a fun afternoon out and about.
I simply can not tell you how much fun I had! You two made for a great afternoon, I am so glad that you were given a second chance to meet and that you found your way to each other. Can’t wait to see you in June in TN!!

Christine and Mike : Engagement in Atlanta
They grew up miles apart, he in a borough and she on an island. Family and school brought them from Queens and Jamaica to Georgia. Years later it was again, family and school, that led them to finally meet. Introduced by Mike’s cousin while Christine attended law school at the University of Georgia, something sparked between them and they are now inseparable.
For engagement shoots I really encourage my couples to chose a location that is special to them. Locations that are representative of them and most bring me to where they became engaged. Though my passport is up to date, we did not board a plane to Jamaica but I did love hearing how Mike proposed to Christine. With the help of her family, they ventured to the city where she was born and before she knew what was happening Mike surprised her with a ring and a proposal. For their engagement shoot they brought me to Centennial Olympic park, my first visit, and later to Atlantic Station visiting the same park bench where they originally had their first kiss.
My fellow Wesleyan sister, I am so happy for you!! When I think of you I first hear your accent that sings in my head and I am just so happy for your accomplishments in these few short years from when we graduated together. You rocked this photo shoot with your sassy self! Mike, it is always fun to be around you. You are truly the kindest person, so darn funny and it was great to spend time with you both.
See you in April!

Maternity and Family pictures : Hunt Family
The Hunt Family is expanding and Tristan will be a big brother this month! This family is set for a fun adventure if this little one pops out with as much spunk, personality, and cuteness that Tristan has to offer. Case in point: as his mom was putting on her shoes Tristan informed her that her that she was a ‘hot chick!’ No doubt that dad was behind his pickup lines but he’s one that you just want to clone and take home.
Can’t wait to get the news that your little one is here! You all are just the cutest family and it was such a fun time catching up and spending time with you all.
