Marissa + Evan / Lake Lanier Islands Wedding

Marissa + Evan / Lake Lanier Islands Wedding

Do dream weddings exist? Oh, you better believe it! As soon as we stepped into the cabin at Lake Lanier to begin Marissa + Evan’s wedding day, we just knew it was going to be good. We knocked on the door, and the bridal party greeted us so welcomingly, and the vibe was just the way you wanted it to be! HAPPY!

The older I get, the more I cherish the people we get to meet… I say, “we get to meet” because it’s a blessing! We truly cherish the relationships that we have made and kept over the years, and we are so old now that I find myself frequently saying, “Oh yeah… we’ve been knowing so and so for over a decade!” LOL!

One of the things that I love about engagement portraits compared to wedding days is that we can take our time to get to know our clients. For me, learning about them is just as exciting as taking photos of them. I LOVE hearing people’s stories because not one is alike!

Even though home is sweet and we all know that, we’ve been spending a lot of time at home, so it was so good to get away for a little while from our local area to Lake Oconee to see Lindsay + Ben! If I had to describe this shoot in one word, it would be “peaceful”.

Some people have a special gift in welcoming and making that person feel like family… They invite you, encourage you, feed you, ask about you… They just know how to simply love someone. It comes so naturally, so genuinely and authentically. Emily and her bridesmaids got ready at her parents’ house and as soon as we entered their home , that’s exactly how they made us feel. Completely and totally welcomed.

Tawny + Neil / Southeastern Railway Museum & Lake Lanier Engagement

Stories are what makes each one of us unique because we all have a story that's none like anyone else's.  When Craig met Tawny + Neil for their wedding consultation, they shared Neil's love for trains.  As soon as Craig heard, he knew that the Duluth Train Museum would be the most perfect place for their engagement session.

Rosie + Vito / Lake Lanier & The Avalon Engagement

This couple is so special to me in so many ways.  I got to meet this fabulous couple at a bridal show and just knew that we made a connection!  After the show, we set up a date to meet, and I was so excited especially because my wife was coming with me!  For those of you who don't know,
