elizabeth & david are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 3 Comments

when we met elizabeth and david for coffee to chat about their wedding and photography it easily turned into the longest ‘meeting’ we’ve ever had! we ended up just hanging out talking about life and coffee and film and food- it was awesome. elizabeth and david are an incredible couple- highly artistic and obviously in love. they are also prone to silliness which they warned us about but we thought that was such a good thing! as we explored the outskirts of the virginia highlands we were all in high spirits- the weather was perfect and elizabeth and david were totally cracking each other (and us!) up. we were surprised to realize that we left not feeling tired but refreshed; what an amazing effect these two have on people! now that i’ve told you how awesome they are on the inside check out their smokin’ images!

this next one is matt’s fave, the light is just so shocking!

and these next two are my fave. elizabeth and david- you guys make modeling look easy!

andrea & nathan are married!

By | Weddings | 7 Comments

when we first met andrea and nathan it was on a rainy saturday in augusta. we traipsed up and down the riverwalk shooting beneath umbrellas and making the most of what the day had to offer. we were shooting their engagement session and nothing was going to get in the way of them enjoying being together. their outlook on life in general is just that. unstoppable. we saw them again at jessica and mark’s wedding and realized that they are also unstoppable on the dance floor- we couldn’t wait until their wedding!

andrea and nathan were married on a beautifully sunny, breezy saturday in downtown augusta. matt and i had a great time seeing them again and being part of the celebration- and what a celebration it was! people were all around us dancing and laughing and enjoying life- andrea & nathan style. the whole day was laid back, full of huge grins and laughter. no doubt the rest of their lives will be marked by those characteristics as well.

i love how the back-light let’s you see all of the amazing detail in andrea’s gown, it was stunning!

the beautiful bride! (sidenote: i’m very jealous of her amazing hair!)

and the handsome groom:

more dress details, lovely:

love the drama of this next shot:

during the ceremony andrea stole a look back at her bridesmaids, it was such a sweet moment:

kinda different for us, but we were really excited by the lighting:

andrea & nathan’s first dance was so classic; they are both really beautiful dancers:

chillin on the dance floor. this little guy kept lying down every time his dad would try to hold his hands and dance with him, it was hysterical!

nathan and his dad gettin’ down!

andrea & nathan, it was great to see you guys again! we are so glad you decided to include us in your day- everything was just perfect! i hope that your new life is going well; we look forward to keeping in touch!

my pact.

By | Personal | 7 Comments

watch out! three rockin’ couple’s engagement sessions for your viewing pleasure:

—

you know we’re photographers. you know about yellow bike. you know that matt thinks i eat too many pickles and that i think matt is a total stud. what you don’t know is that right now i’m in a bit of a crisis. this happens every year, twice.

i dig under the bed for my huge tupperware bins of the upcoming season’s clothes and what i find i might as well throw out the window. i did not wear these things! but oh yes i did. and now that it’s getting cooler and i’m pulling out the warmer clothes the thought of wearing these things again just makes me cringe.

you must know, i’m not a clothes snob, not even close. but seriously every time i go under that bed and check out what i have to offer myself for the upcoming season i just get discouraged. i wear boring clothes. i cannot even cover that up with the word ‘classic.’ really, just boring. safe. those are not the words that describe the clothes i really like, just the ones i end up buying. i have more soft cotton, solid color shirts than most of the population. i need to make a pact with myself this season, and in order to keep it, i’m sharing it with you: this season i will take risks and buy a few pieces that i just love, instead of filling the closet with more of what it already has. not a life-shattering pact, i know. but it’s time. thanks for listening!
