The Wedding of Dani & Emery!

One of my dear friends from my old church in Atlanta got married this past weekend to her sweetheart! Dani is truly a 'ray of sunshine' as all of her friends and anyone who meets her toasted to her at the reception! This was my first meeting with Emery, just before the wedding...I won't say he was a little nervous! The February wedding day couldn't be more perfect with the weather and atmosphere of this event! It was so fun - and SO emotional for everyone. (I didn't post any crying shots! Tears of joy abound!) I will let the photos tell the story... more can be found on Facebook!

I love the face of her father as he walks into the room and sees her before heading down the aisle! 

It was truly a beautiful and touching wedding, I am so thankful to be a part of your day, as your photographers, as guests and most of all your friends! Enjoy!

Charmaine & Kenwin - and KJ, age 2!

We got to spend about an hour with one of my sweetest friends (who's also a photographer!), Charmaine and her husband - and their adorable boy, KJ! He has grown SO much since I last saw him at 6 months old. What a cutie! They are such a beautiful (and growing!) family! Below are some of my favorites we got downtown Atlanta...

What a gorgeous couple! Whooohooo! You are such a blessing in my life, Charmaine! I'm so glad we got to spend even a moment together, we'll do it again soon! Love you!

Melisa's Maternity

Melisa & Riley are two of my coolest friends - I photographed their wedding in Atlanta a few years ago - has it been 4 or 5? Now they are expecting their first little one in just a few weeks! I'm so excited, I'll be Auntie Shae again! :)

Melisa is the cutest thing in the world. Moreso with a rubber duckie.

It was great to see you, I am looking forward to seeing all three of you really soon! God bless!

Preston - 3 weeks

Melissa & Terrence have a new addition to their home! I met Preston at only 3 weeks old! He is soooo sweet, but he did NOT feel like modeling the day I was there! Not until I was packing up ready to go, lol! We did manage to get some beautiful images...

Their first family photo :)

Thank you so much for the opportunity to photograph little Preston! What a blessing! I'm sure he smiled and slept the rest of the day after I left, haha! It was great to see you two as well.

The Engagement of Lisa & Scott!

John and I spent an afternoon in Atlanta with Scott & Lisa for their engagement session - which they broke the record for the longest session I've done! 4 hours! The majority of the session took place on MARTA, Atlanta's public transit system - the story behind this is the fact Scott and Lisa met on the train! How awesome is that! Good things can come out of public transportation :)

We had so much fun, I think Lisa will agree that we have entertaining husbands (husband-to-be, that is!). It was also a very busy weekend in ATL with events such as the Alabama game and Dragon Con taking place downtown. The train was packed! Check out the images, I'll explain...

John asked me if I saw the couple walking on the left of Lisa and Scott during shooting - not until I was editing did I see what he was talking about!

Sweet - an initial shot...

The image above was made on the infamous Peachtree Station escalator - I'm not sure how many stories it entails.

5 Points.

I'm not sure why I like this image above so much, I think it's the mood of Lisa and Scott's faces amongst the busy passersbys.

You two are an awesome couple, I am so excited about your wedding! John and I thank you for being so much fun and blending like 'tourists', lol! Enjoy!

Michelle & Joe's Wedding

Michelle

Michelle and Joe had a private wedding ceremony this past Friday night in Duluth, GA at the Magnolia Cottage which is part of the Payne-Corley House property. It was so beautiful and intimate and laid-back, as well as full of Southern charm. Michelle was a gorgeous bride - she still attends my old church back in Atlanta so I was so excited to hear from her this year that she had found her man! And what a hard time keeping it a secret! I'm so happy she met Joe, he seemed perfect for her in just the short time I met and photographed him. Check out the pix!....(sorry, they are out of order!)

A match made in Heaven!

The Wedding of Megan & Sam

We photographed Megan & Sam's beautifully orchestrated wedding this past Saturday in Guntersville, Alabama. They both reside in ATL and brought a little 'A"-town with them for the weekend! What a gorgeous bride Megan was! The ceremony was held downtown at the the United Methodist Church and the reception was across the street at The Glover Restaurant, co-owned by Sam's parents... The green theme was evident throughout, right down to the get-away car!

Love this pic!

It's all about the details, even the coozies! Megan's sister is modeling :)

Toenails to match!

Sam is so sweet on Megan - I didn't post the shot of his face looking at her walk down the aisle because it made me cry (and it's for Megan to see first!)... Congratulations to you both and your families for making this special day happen! Many more wonderful memories to come!
