katie & nikhil are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 3 Comments

we first met katie & nikhil at our favorite little taqueria down the street from our house. while we talked photography with nikhil, katie fought her way through atlanta’s famously terrible traffic- in a thunderstorm- respect! we sipped on margaritas and munched on chips while rain pounded the streets outside. it was great getting to know katie & nikhil and hearing about their travels around the globe! they’ve already shared so many incredible experiences together (they got engaged while hiking in new zealand! that is their real life, ohmygosh!)- no doubt they’ll have many more adventures in their future! when their engagement shoot rolled around, it was again: raining. but when their rescheduled shoot rolled around it was PERFECT! and about time. these two have such sunny personalities- a stunning fall day was just what they deserved!

i LOVE this next photo, something about the angle and the obvious love of katie & nikhil just makes it:

tiny little skinny alleys are awesome:

i love how this next photo represents atlanta- the huge expanse of brick, the faded coke advertisement, the fall leaves…and of course katie & nikhil making everything more awesome:


katie & nikhil, we had a great afternoon with you guys and we’re so excited about your wedding!

rebecca & harris are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 4 Comments

when the leaves begin to turn golden i have a really hard time concentrating. fall is my favorite- the crisp air, the colors, pulling out my boots and scarves, bonfires and rich risottos and of course, all things pumpkin spice. it’s enough to distract me completely. in fact, it took me 5 full minutes to write that last sentence because i started daydreaming at least twice. luckily, rebecca and harris are kindred spirits when it comes to fall love and they chose to have their engagement photos taken on a beautiful november afternoon in the mountains of north carolina. i love them for that! the drive up was stunning and our afternoon with rebecca and harris was perfect. they are just such fun people! easy to talk to, quick to laugh and make the most of every moment. in fact, they spent a full day exploring the little town of highlands, nc, scouting out different settings for their shoot, just to make it perfect! we could not have been happier as we drove through their proposed route before the shoot began- a bed and breakfast with an orchard and a pond? a skinny winding road covered in brilliant leaves and surrounded by towering maples? a quaint boutique hotel with beautiful stonework? rebecca & harris, thank you for setting up the perfect fall day!

after pulling over for a few shots on this beautiful street, we decided to climb down into the woods. thankfully rebecca & harris were up for a little adventure! how many times have we been driving and i’ve commented on how pretty the flowers or trees are on the side of the road?? i do that allll the time. and today was the day to finally pull over and explore- we just couldn’t resist!

we couldn’t resist including this next series of outtakes, getting back to the street was quite scary in slippery boots but luckily rebecca and i had our guys there to help us out- i love these outtakes:
rebecca & harris, thank you guys for such an amazing shoot- seriously, you guys are awesome! can’t wait for the wedding!

danielle & brandon are married!

By | Weddings | 2 Comments

have you ever walked through your old elementary school and caught the scent of old books and floor cleaner and actually enjoyed it? or decided that, after 10 years of dying your hair you’re finally letting it go natural? or fixed a piece of toast with butter and sugar, just like your mom fixed when you were little? maybe those are just my experiences but there has always been something about returning to my roots that i find nice- refreshing even. so when danielle & brandon contacted us about shooting their small family wedding, i couldn’t help but be reminded of the first wedding we ever photographed- intimate and family oriented, full of laid-back, good people having a great time. and when danielle & brandon made it clear that we would be shooting exclusively photojournalism, we knew this was going to take us right back to our roots, capturing fleeting glimpses into who a person really is, deep inside. it refreshed our minds and challenged us to freeze sweet moments between danielle & brandon- knowing that ‘couple portraits’ was not on the schedule. their wedding day was different than what we are used to and we really loved every moment of it! every wedding presents new challenges and surprises- but something about danielle & brandon’s day really took us back to our beginnings, those few months when we were kicking around this idea of being wedding photographers- the passionate conversations we had about the kind of images we wanted to take and the responsibilities and privileges that would come with the business we were thinking of starting. it was nice to be reminded of all of that and then pick up our cameras and get back to those roots with danielle & brandon and their incredible friends and families!

danielle & brandon’s reception was held in brandon’s parent’s backyard and his sister concepted and created the environment and all of the details. everything had an inviting feel to it- from the wildflowers to the music to the drink selection- the day was definitely full of danielle & brandon’s favorite things brought together to be enjoyed with their favorite people.


danielle & brandon, thank you so much for including us in your awesome wedding day- it was so much fun to capture your joy and sweet celebration! we wish you the very best!
