Alex + Andrew / Ivy Hall Roswell Mill Wedding

You know, Craig and I were talking the other day about anxiety and different social fears that we have had, have grown from and still struggle with as we observed different behaviors about our children. It’s pretty crazy how little photography is part of our business.

Something that makes a couple’s portraits different from photographing one person is the fact that a couple needs chemistry. Without it, it’s hard… You can’t make or teach two people have chemistry when they simply don’t.

What do you think of when you think of a wedding day? The first thing for me is of course the bride and her DRESS! Oh yes… the dress… something a little girl grows up dreaming of wearing. But, it’s more than just the dress; it’s the meaning of it that makes it significant.

First of everything is special, isn’t it? You always remember it because well, you know… it’s your first! They also say that the start of something is very significant as well and you know what? We couldn’t have had a better start of our weddings in 2020!

Marjorie + Chris / Lake Lanier Islands Wedding

Through our small group at church, we’ve been doing a personality study, and I’m once again fascinated! This is my third time studying it in depth, and just when I thought I knew it all, my mind is blown! I appreciate personalities so much because it makes me understand and love others in ways I couldn’t have had I not known these discoveries.

Ellen + Jeremy / Ashton Gardens Atlanta Wedding

Now that we’ve become “middle aged” and have kids that are entering their teenage years (wow that’s so weird to write), we can’t help but see weddings in a new light.  At the beginning of our business which is now more than a decade ago, we went to weddings and thought how we wished we could’ve done that, had this, worn a different dress, etc…

Family is everything… that’s a saying that I couldn’t relate to for a long time. I come from a broken family, and my mom is all the family I’ve had. There were times when she wasn’t there either and I was handed from place to place. But, God does miracles and even though my family didn’t look ideal or perfect, my mom’s remarriage saved us.

Chloe + Zach / A Georgia State Park Wedding

Working in the wedding business, we have seen all sorts of wedding stories… Really, we could write a book. We’ve seen all sorts of personalities as well, and let me tell you…. Chloe + Zach’s are our fav type. Why? Yes, you got it… they’re so laid back and simply happy.

Ngoc + Rick / The Engine Room Wedding

Ok just how many wedding venues are there in just the Atlanta area alone? Just when we think we’ve been to all of them, we have to think again! It was our first time at the Engine room and it had such a neat industrial look. I especially loved the outdoor patio area where they had the cocktail hour.
