Ashley + Antwan / The Biltmore Ballroom Atlanta Wedding
Victoria + Melvin / Paris Baguette Cafe & Downtown Duluth Engagement
So, before engagement shoots, one of the things that Craig gets to do with our couples is meet them in person at the consultation meeting and really get to know one another. One of the things I get to do is plan the engagement shoot with them. The most fun part of that is discussing their outfit choices! So, I texted Melvin to see what they had so far, and he said, "I'm wearing 1800 colonial american clothes.. and tori is wearing the swim suit from borat." (exact words).
Eunice + Clement / Swan House & Atlanta History Center Engagement Portraits
It’s interesting how laughter is contagious... have you ever felt frustrated or just wasn’t in a good mood, but you hear someone laugh over and over and you can’t help but laugh or at least smile? It makes you realize that whatever you’re going through isn’t as bad as it seems. I’m blessed to have a husband who brings so much laughter into my life and our home.
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.
2018 Birthday // I did NOTHING!
“I know you’re busy, but….”
“Wow, your business seems to be doing well. You guys are staying busy, huh?"
“Being busy is a good problem to have!”
‘BUSY’ is the word that I’m still trying to figure out the definition of. What does that really mean? I feel that whether we want to admit it or not, we feel valued when we are busy.
Olivia + Erik / Montaluce Winery Engagement Portraits
As I'm writing this, I'm in a state of shock that it's already March. Aren't you? I know everyone says it all the time, but one thing that I can't keep thinking about lately is how fast life is flying by. Our youngest turned 5, and I'm in denial of that... How can that be? There's never been such an urgency in my heart to really not waste time, but ironically, I've been realizing that 'slowing down' is what makes us appreciate time more and spend it with quality especially with those whom we adore.
Darby + Cody / Ponce City Market Engagement
When people feel comfortable, they act differently. It's no wonder that for the majority of us, when we are at home, we are comfortable... therefore, we tend to (or not) do things that we won't usually do in public. Well, as professional photographers, one of our jobs is to make our clients feel "at home" and comfortable with us and in front of the camera.
Emma's 10th Birthday // The Reason for it All
It's so interesting to see what's important to someone. I truly believe that everyone has time and money for what's valuable to them. I don't believe the words, "I can't afford it" or "It's out of my budget.". I translate those words into "It's not important to me." I have seen the lowest income people travel world, and I have seen the most wealthy struggle with basic needs. It's all about where you put value in your life.
Diana + Marcus / Roswell Mill Waterfall Engagement Portraits
I love it when couples choose their engagement portraits location because it means something to them. Diana asked for a waterfall, but I just thought that that's simply what she wanted. But on the day of the shoot, as we were walking through the VERY muddy path to get to this waterfall, we learned that Diana LOVES waterfalls.
