so guess what? we’re staying in buckhead another year! we’ve officially resigned our lease and we’re pumped to spend another year walking to good restaurants, the grocery store, the book store and church – gosh i love living in the city!
in other news, we’ve fallen pretty hard for the new coldplay album – you should totally check it out if you haven’t already! right now it’s just the perfect backdrop for working steadily, calmly and creatively. thank you chris martin.
oh also, since you lovely readers were so helpful when we were on the fence about netflix (we got it, wooo!) i want to share something with you that may (or may not) be helpful. we called geico and saved $550 on our car insurance! as much as i have a love/hate relationship with their commercials i have to say, they are my hero. so, thank you geico.
i know this post was random but i’m feeling it today. in fact i just polished off a couple pickles, some apple sauce and a few oyster crackers, like i said, random. anyway, late-ah friends, i’m out! :)

so on our way home last weekend we stopped through savannah for a few hours to explore. first stop was the lady and sons to see if by some miracle we could be seated for lunch. i waited in line while matt parked and when i got up to the hostess she said there was no availability until nine that night – as it was 11:30 am i politely declined and crossed the street (mostly because i was embarrassed to have waited in line and declined) to wait for matt. with my senses heightened (embarrassment will do that to you!) i caught the tail end of a phone conversation that prompted me to suck it up and cross back to the lady in sons and get back in line. i heard the girl on the phone say something about bar seating in the restaurant and to me bar = no reservations. matt arrived as i edged back up to the front of the line and to make a long story short we were seated in less than 10 minutes, at a table no less! super exciting, a great way to kick off the savannah fun.
stuffed to the brim we knew a good walk was in order before we could get in the car and drive back to atlanta. we found some great little shops but one shop in particular caught my eye. i believe this might catch your eye too, check out the vintage dress in the window below (thanks to the iphone), there was no way i was going to pass this up!
let me tell you, this beautiful window teaser did not disappoint! i could have spent hours pouring over the unique details of the shop, the products, the product display, the paper, the clothing…sigh, perfect. i was totally inspired and on the verge of re-branding altmix photography right there to incorporate some of the vintage goodness. if you’re in or around savannah you can’t miss this little shop, @home, vintage general, check out their blog here. to tie this into weddings i have to let you know that they carry the perfectly adorable mindy weiss, two’s company collection. oh, aaand the paperproducts there were fabulous! overall the trip to savannah was just what we needed though we’re glad to be home. ok, this post has gotten so long i’m a little doubtful that you’re still reading…hello?? it’s ok, i’ll try to keep them shorter in the future! ;) hope you’re having a fabulous friday!
so i hinted at this beach shoot a few posts ago – here it is! allie and josh totally love hilton head so we were pumped to meet them in a place where they feel so at home and comfortable. after a little bit of a rain scare we met up with them in sea pines to start shooting around the harbor. engagement sessions are just a great time to get to know our clients and their stories; there is usually a lot of laughter involved and naturally happy pictures come easily. this shoot was a little different – i had to pull away from my camera i was laughing so hard, these two are just hilarious. i felt like i was being entertained the whole time! the wind whipped and allie’s hair mercilessly attacked josh’s face – his reactions were as hysterical as his stories. one more thing i just have to share because it’s too amazing not to is that josh’s first words to allie were ‘girl are you a parking ticket, ’cause you got fine written all over you!’ so to all of you single men who read this i say to you, don’t give up on the one-liners quite yet! :) here are a few of our faves from their shoot:
we couldn’t resist putting up with image, it’s really beautiful, but also it just describes the day so perfectly! :)
allie & josh, we cannot wait to hang out with you more at the wedding! it was great to finally meet you guys after so many emails! i can only imagine that with you guys running it your wedding (and the rest of your lives) is going to be a huge celebration – rock on!
