Skylar and Nicolette’s beautiful New Years wedding

Believe it or not, Sklyar and Nicolette’s union is the first same sex wedding I’ve photographed. I’m a big supporter of gay rights and marriage equality, so I hope it’s the first of many to come. I couldn’t be more happy that they picked me to document this special day.

Their ceremony was at the lovely St John’s Lutheran Church and their reception was at Paris on Ponce’s Le Maison Rouge space. The event space at Paris on Ponce is beautiful, but very difficult to shoot in because of the dark ceilings, dim light and their restrictions on strobe lights. But, I think Jonathan Phillips and I still got some great shots. Here are some of my favorites.

Becca and Tommy’s Historic Lawrenceville Courthouse wedding

Becca and Tommy are an adorably geeky couple. They both volunteer for Anime Weekend Atlanta, and love video games. I was so excited to see that Becca decided to get married in her glasses, since I’m also a proud wearer of spectacles. They got hitched at the Historic Courthouse in Lawrenceville, and here are some of my favorite shots from their big day.

I want to give a special shout out to Jonathan Phillips for helping me photography this wedding. He not only did some great shooting, but drove back to his house at the last minute to replace a piece of missing equipment!

Lawrenceville’s Historic Courthouse has some beautiful places to photograph details.

Amanda and Chris in Piedmont Park

Amanda and Chris love their midtown neighborhood. They live just a few blocks from Piedmont Park and enjoy taking walks and spending time there. So, it seemed like a perfect place to do some fun, romantic pictures of the two of them.

Bobbin and Ryan’s Rockin’ Highland Ballroom wedding

I’m so glad I got to know Bobbin and Ryan during their engagement shoot AND got to spend their big day with them! They are adorable, fun and love all of the fun stuff Atlanta has to offer. Thanks to these these two hip folks, I now have a new favorite Atlanta band, Noot d’ Noot. They performed a great set for Bobbin and Ryan’s reception.

This was my first wedding at the Highland Ballroom. The management there has done a good job making it a little more photo friendly inside, with some lighter colors and a better layout for events. The space for outdoor photos is a little limited, but we still got some great shots.

Fall photos of baby Ronan

A couple of years ago, I photographed Pepin and Wayne’s wedding. They are friends from my husband and I’s church, KUCC. I was really happy when they called me to photography their beautiful baby, Ronan. He’s about 6 months old now, and since the weather was gorgeous, we took him to Freedom Park for some fall photos. Man, is this little sweetheart a ham! He’s so photogenic. Every shot seems to have a different expression.

Web site photos for Historic Roswell Chiropractic

I recently did some photos for Historic Roswell Chiropractic’s web site. These ladies were so much fun. I could tell it’s a fun place to work. We got creative with group photos, and they all seemed on board for some goofy shots.

Marty Elgison found me on Yelp.com and hired me to take some family photos for holiday cards. He and his twins, Evan and Olivia were a lot of fun to photograph. Here are a few of my favorites.

Joan and Mirza’s engagement session

Joan and Mirza are exactly the type of couple I love to photograph. Not only are they adorably cute, but they are very silly, too! They came to the shoot with props, and a change of clothes for a funny photo they wanted to capture announcement of them dressed as over-hyped celebrities. For this one, they wanted me to snap a shot of them paparazzi style. We had a great time taking pictures at the Goat Farm and at the Westside Provisions District. I’m really looking forward to their wedding!

This was their favorite of the ridiculous celebrity shots!

Pictures of baby Blake

Early this year, I photographed Elizabeth and Tyler’s wedding. I was so flattered that they asked me to come take photos of their newborn, Blake. It means so much to me that I get to share these important moments in a family’s life. Blake is an adorable baby, and he was very tolerate of someone disturbing his sleep with lots of flashing lights.

What a face!

Amy and Tim’s awesome, beautiful and slightly silly wedding

Amy and Tim are puppeteers, actors and an all-around super-fun duo. They also picked one of my favorite wedding venues, The Solarium in Decatur. Which, happens to be the spot where my hubby and I got hitched four years ago. As soon as I walked in and saw their AMAZING geeky themed centerpieces, I thought to myself, “This is going to be an awesome wedding to shoot!” and it was. I’m having a hard time narrowing down to my favorite hand full of images, so forgive this very long blog post with too many exclamation points!

I love wedding with adorable details.

Vintage dress, broach bouquet and hair piece.

First look!

Beautiful fall colors.

Best cake toppers ever!
