One of the things that I love about photography is that you can make any place look beautiful and unique. We can make a parking lot look like the most special, exotic place… at this shoot, we were able to make Stone Mountain look like a special desert out in the west!

Over the years, we have been blessed to have made great connections with certain venues and vendors to do business with. We love working together and through those relationships, we get to meet some amazing couples.

Through our shoots, it’s so awesome to see all the different styles that are out there. Just like everyone, Craig and I have our own preference when it comes to style, but as professionals, it’s our job to make any style look amazing!

With some couples, we are extra lucky because we get to spend multiple days with them! Over those days, we have the opportunity to get to know them more and more… with South Asian weddings, it’s full of culture and traditions that we absolutely love and it never fails to amaze me.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandant greater than these.” Mark 12:30-31

As I’m sure that many of you have, I’ve learned countless things during this special season in our world. One thing I’ve noticed is that people who are successful stay successful no matter what. The thing that carries them through any circumstance is their character.

I usually begin a blog post with something that we LOVE about our job. But, to be honest, there are things that we don’t like too. One of them is that our job is very dependent on weather… Oy! How things would be different if it wasn’t. I dread checking the weather forecast a few days before a shoot because I don’t want to see what it has to tell me.

They say, “the third time’s the charm.” But, how many of you know that that’s not true? It’s actually, the fourth time. ;) I applaud Meredith + Patrick’s patience because we had to reschedule their engagement session FOUR times! I know…. crazy, right?

It's still kinda crazy to me that some of our clients either fly here or fly us to their location for shoots.  This October marks 10 years of our business which is just crazy wild to believe.  I look back and sometimes it's all a blur because everything happened so fast, but then again, I remember every detail of the journey.
