What a way to spend the first day of spring. Just like warm weather and beautiful flowers, Shakaila + Jonathan’s wedding was a breath of fresh air. The groomsmen were definitely excited to celebrate this day.

Alexandra + William / Loews Hotel & The Biltmore Ballroom Atlanta Wedding

There’s just something about New Year’s Eve… sometimes I don’t know how to think of it. It’s so bitter sweet, you know? It’s exciting that a brand new year is coming, but then again it’s sad that another year has passed. There’s so much hope in the new year and then there are regrets from the old.

Brittney + Kyle / Piedmont Park Post Wedding Portraits

One of the most common questions we get is, "How do you get your clients?"  We meet them through many different ways, but one of the ways is at weddings!  We meet at least one engaged couple who is very interested in our photography and we book them!  And yes, this is how I met Kyle for the first time!  

Nicole / It's My Birthday!

Nicole / It's My Birthday!

My personal trainer's motto is "You have to take care of yourself first before you can take care of anyone else."  She says this to me all the time.... to stop feeling guilty for treating yourself.  She doesn't mean to be "full of yourself", but she's trying to make the point that making sure you're taken care of is a very healthy thing that affects everyone around you.

So many photographers ask us if we attend bridal shows and if it's worth it.  Um.... YES!  It's always a YES for us.  You may notice that we begin many blogs by saying, "We met so and so from a bridal show earlier this year...".  And, we begin this blog by saying the same thing!

Benny + Bella / The Atrium Downtown Norcross & High Museum Wedding

Thx to Google, we met this beautiful couple... Benny googled, "Photographers who shot at the Atrium" one day and found some images taken by us.  So, he contact us through our website and we connected.  He said, "Your photos intrigued me."  (Benny, do you remember writing that email?)  When we found out that he was a designer at Coca Cola, we knew that he has an appreciation of art, of creativity and of photography.

Loren + Richard / Christ The King & Twelve Hotel Atlantic Station Wedding

We met Loren + Richard at the GA Bridal Show and as soon as they approached our booth and viewed our slideshow, I just knew that there was something different about them.  Richard's first question was, "What lenses do you guys use?"  Aha!

Noren + Arsalaan / South Asian Wedding North Carolina

We got to partake in not just one, but TWO days in Noren + Arsalaan's wedding festivities... It was held in North Carolina, so it was fun to do something out of norm and travel a little.  It was our first time getting to know Charlotte, but it was more exciting getting to know our couple!

Noren + Arsalaan / Roswell Mill & Buckhead Engagement

It is our pleasure to introduce to you all, Noren + Arsalaan!  They're such a well rounded couple.  First, as you can see, they're gorgeous... Second, they're super duper intelligent.  So much that I'm going to feel very safe at their wedding.  :)  They're both in the medical field!
