Hello

Midtown Atlanta Engagement Session

arrow

Engagements

I wanted to highlight Grace and Austin’s Midtown Atlanta engagement session in Piedmont Park today. Lately, trends seem to be skewing towards dramatic skyscraper skylines or extremely nature focused. Of course, Atlanta’s Piedmont Park offers both. It’s why it’s a classic!

InterContinental Buckhead Wedding | Atlanta, GA

Weddings

Neeki and Matei’s jaw-dropping Persian wedding and reception at the InterContinental Buckhead is a day I look back on fondly. The rich cultural traditions, the elegant detail work, and the pure joy of everyone involved makes it an incredibly special day. You don’t want to miss the ceiling floral install at the reception!

Bury the Bourbon | 255 Milledge

Weddings

When Ashley and Andrew told me about how they wanted to partake in the bury the bourbon tradition, I just knew I had to be there to help them capture the moment. I’ve loved getting to know these two during our engagement session. One of my favorite things about being a photographer is being invited into favorite traditions!

An Engagement Session in Atlanta’s Piedmont Park

Engagements

I met up with Rachael and Mike for their engagement session in an Atlanta classic: Piedmont Park. Throughout my many years of working in the Atlanta region, I’ve gotten to experience this park on every day of the week, in every weather, in every season, and at every time of day. It always has something to offer between new locations to discover and some of my tried and true favorites.

A Wedding at Little River Farms | Alpharetta, GA

Weddings

Photographing Mollie and Josh’s wedding at Little River Farms began around one of my favorite inquiry emails. Mollie reached out to me saying, “I love black and white photos. I also love candid photos. I’m always smiling and laughing and love to capture this in photos.” How could I say no?

An Elopement in Covington, GA

Elopements

Audrey & Drake’s Covington elopement was a day bursting with laughter. I’m not sure I’ve ever had this much fun during a session. When joy is contagious and the laughing never stops, you just absolutely know the pictures are going to be good!

The State Botanical Garden of Georgia Engagement Session | Athens, GA

Engagements

Kaitlyn and Dillon’s engagement session at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia is today’s featured blog. This is one of my favorite free session locations in Athens! A well-manicured garden or park always provided elegant, natural backdrops that enhance any session together.

Mill Creek Pond Engagement Session

Engagements

Kelly and David’s engagement session at the Mill Creek Pond in Alpharetta was a spring dream. And not just because their precious pups kept stealing the show! We chose this venue because it’s a hidden gem and didn’t want to fight the crowds. The mixture of the greenery, the columns, and the stone arch bridge over the pond created an enchanted atmosphere that I just love!

Hadden Estate at Damn Good Dawg Farms Wedding

Weddings

Marie and Aaron’s wedding at the Hadden Estate at Damn Good Dawg Farms was the perfect way to kick off my summer wedding season! Despite all the emotions and stress that accompany wedding days, the group around them were really fun and sweet. Not only did it make their day easier and more memorable, it helped me capture the moments along the way.

Midtown Atlanta Engagement Session in Piedmont Park

Engagements

Naz and Jose’s engagement session in Piedmont Park was absolutely full of joy. The sun was shining, the midtown Atlanta skyline was stunning, and their sweetness just comes through every single picture. Piedmont Park is an iconic location in Atlanta, but I love how every couple seems to make it their own.

A Wedding at the Farm at High Shoals

Weddings

Miranda and Chris’s wedding at the Farm at High Shoals is today’s blog offering. When you combine the stunning white and black classic dress of the bridal party with my favorite venue in the area? I knew it was going to be special directly from the start. Throw on top of it that my favorite wedding planner/florist and my favorite videographers were also working the wedding? Dream team.

The Duck Pond Engagement Session | Atlanta, GA

arrow

Engagements

Kristen & Brooks had their engagement session at The Duck Pond in Atlanta! I have always wanted to photograph a session here, so I was quite excited for this one. The Duck Pond is right around the corner from Brooks’ house, so the couple has spent many hours here. It’s so beautiful, who could blame them?

The Wildflower 301 Wedding | Greensboro, GA

arrow

Weddings

Brooke and Zach’s wedding at the Wildflower 301 is today’s blog offering! This couple was exceptionally kind and I loved every minute I spent around them this day. I know every photographer says their couples are beautiful inside and out, but we truly mean it! These two were so intentional in their decisions and design and it really coalesced into a stunning, elegant day.

Jekyll Island Club Engagement Session

arrow

Engagements

Brooke & JT’s Avenue of the Oaks engagement session had the dreamiest lighting. Despite living in Atlanta, the couple decided they wanted to do a day-trip destination location for these pictures. Needless to say, as we drove from stormy Atlanta to the sun-washed coast, it felt like we made the right decision!

Caroline’s Bridal Portraits at The Georgia Club

arrow

Bridal Portraits

Caroline and I met up about six weeks out from her wedding for this session at their venue. While wedding days are genuinely important days, a lot of moments can get lost in the schedule and hectic nature of the day. Having this time set aside to capture Caroline’s beauty outside of the stress of the Big Day? I think the photos speak for themselves in how important this can be. She was stunning.

Engagement Session in Piedmont Park | Atlanta, GA

Engagements

Kelsi and Sam’s engagement session in Piedmont Park sees me back in one of my favorite locations in Atlanta! This session took place during a busy evening with excellent weather, so we had to get creative!

Biltmore Ballrooms Wedding Reception | Atlanta, GA Maura and Max’s wedding at Cathedral of Christ the King was followed up by an elegant reception at Atlanta’s Biltmore Ballrooms!

Downtown Madison Engagement Session | Madison, GA

Caroline and Riley’s downtown Madison engagement session ended in one of the most magical moments I’ve ever captured. Don’t skip ahead to the end, but definitely stay and scroll until you see the final pictures.

Grant Hill Farms Wedding | Commerce, GA

arrow

Weddings

Kayla and Brantley’s Grant Hill Farms Wedding was a perfectly charming fall wedding. I’d previously shot a wedding there in 2021, and I adore the blue barn and the lush green landscape around it. Being a fall wedding, Kayla’s focus on a rust color palette really drew everything together. I loved it!

Backyard Elopement | Atlanta, GA

arrow

Elopements

Emily and Justin’s intimate Atlanta elopement was full of the same elegance you’d expect from a traditional wedding. Instead of paying for the big event, the couple decided to go to Italy for three weeks instead. Who can blame them there? I can’t! The cool part is that we still had a ton of fun with just the three of us anyway.
