Coming soon

Destination: Destin. Friday afternoon Crystal and I piled her car full of bags, snacks and camera gear and headed down to Destin, Florida to photograph a wedding alongside the fun and fabulous Scarlett Lillian! I had such an amazing time hanging out with these two wonderful women, and I can't wait to share these images with all of you.

Good bye Blogger! I am kicking Blogger to the curb in favor of a Wordpress blog that will be hosted on my website. I have been considering the switch for a while and have been playing around with the administrative end on Wordpress, and I absolutely love it.

Flash flavor, anyone? After months of searching, I have finally found the perfect solution for displaying images online in my portfolio. If you are a photographer and are looking for a simple, clean way to display your images and organize your online portfolio, you should look into SlideshowPro. I will be incorporating SlideshowPro into my website later this month!

Photographer turns bridesmaid. That's right! One of my closest friends is getting married this weekend in Sarasota, Florida, and I get to get all snazzed up and be a bridesmaid! I'll make sure to post some pictures for you when I get back.

That's all for now! I hope you have a wonderful evening.

Destin & Sarah { Atlanta, Ga }

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of second shooting Destin and Sarah's wedding at Grace United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Ga. Sarah had chosen a beautiful color palette for her fall fairy tale wedding, and while Karl spent time photographing the bride getting ready, I wandered around the church documenting the beautiful details that she had chosen for her special day.

With its tall ceilings, dark wooden detailing and stained glass windows, the sanctuary made a beautiful setting for this couple's intimate ceremony.





At the reception, Sarah and all of her brides maids headed for the dance floor to the accompaniment of 'Girls just wanna have fun.' She looked so elegant dancing in her Cinderella-inspired wedding dress.



Here Sarah embraces her maid of honor before getting ready to head out to her horse drawn carriage.



Right after the reception, we followed the bride and groom to their hotel, which was right across the street from the Fabulous FOX Theater to grab some images of the two of them together.



Destin and Sarah, it was such a pleasure spending your wedding day with you. I wish you two the best in your marriage!

Elise & Ryan { Stone Mountain, Ga }

I am so excited to be able to share these images with all of you! Elise has been one of my closest and best friends since I was in middle school. She is like a sister to me, and she has had such a huge influence on my life and my faith. She was one of the first people in my life that showed me the joy that could be had in a relationship with Christ, and for that I am forever thankful. Our friendship has lasted through good times and difficult times, and now I am excited to be able to celebrate her engagement to the man that she has been waiting her whole life for.

On Saturday morning we met at Stone Mountain Park outside of Atlanta. Stone Mountain is a special place for Elise and Ryan because it is where they had their first date two years ago. It was so much fun to wander around the park and get to relive the memory of their first date with them.



These two were an absolute dream to photograph! Their love for each other is written all over their faces, and they love to laugh and goof around together.



I love the following image because I had absolutely nothing to do with posing it. We were up the hiking trail shooting in among the flowers, and Ryan decided to pick one for Elise to put in her hair. She smiled, leaned in and kissed him, and I grabbed this shot



This sign might as well have had Ryan's name on it. Ha! I'm just kidding. This is Ryan giving me his best confident/cocky face.



Elise's ring is absolutely beautiful. Not only does Ryan have wonderful taste when it comes to choosing a wife, but he also has great taste in jewelry. Don't you agree?



We really wanted to go inside the kid's play area to grab a few pictures on the swings, but you had to pay extra to play in there, so we stopped at the entrance to grab a picture of them with the signs.



It was far too hot to hike all the way up to the top of the mountain, but that didn't keep us from climbing up a little ways to grab some cool shots like these.
