and i’m off!

we’re excited to announce hollee and john’s slideshow is here!

i don’t say this to scare you or start rumors, but i have serious cravings sometimes. it’s been a lifelong struggle, that’s how i know it’s not…well…you know…a little surprise?! anyway, when i was younger i decided that my body craved what i was deficient in, back then that meant butter noodles, peanut butter mixed with chocolate brownie (warmed up, of course!), and tiny dill pickles (a true kate staple). these days the urges have transitioned into anything with caesar dressing or olives, cheese (cave aged gouda, yes please!), and, still holding strong, pickles. i no longer can convince myself that my body just needs these things for my well-being, so i focus on adding them in little pieces to basically every meal i make. you’d be surprised at the versatility of the green olive in this house! all that to say, right now we’re out of pickles so i’m sorry this post isn’t about something important or witty or even informative, but i have to go to the grocery store…like…now.  buhbye!

we are so thrilled to be featured in daily candy atlanta’s spring wedding guide!  matt and i were so stoked when they called us yesterday to confirm the details, but i think i was still in disbelief until i got my usual daily candy email and saw our name!  

so thank you to you, to all of you who have been cheering for our photo venture, to all of you lovely brides who have fallen for our work, and to you loyal readers who leave sweet and encouraging comments!  we wouldn’t be here without you; we wouldn’t even want to be here without you (you make this so fun!)!  thank you all from the bottom of our hearts, we cannot wait to show you more of who we are, and we’re so excited to get to know you all better too!  

today we’re off to shoot our last engagement session before taking a (quick) deep breath and diving deep into weddings for the next few months; i am so glad we are all sharing in this journey together!  love!

hollee & john are engaged!

hollee and john were just finishing up their meal in the virginia highlands when we showed up to photograph their engagement shoot. it was perfect timing since we wanted to start the shoot at the restaurant where they’d just paid their bill! everybody’s pizza is a favorite spot of theirs; one of their first date’s happened there and they’ve been hooked ever since! we could tell immediately that they were a very athletic couple and they proved it with some serious climbing and balancing skills! Check out a few of our favorite shots below:

this mirror was just leaning against the outside of a shop, it’s as if they knew we’d be coming along looking for interesting shots!

this is where the athleticism came into play, the ledge they are standing on oh so casually is really shallow and about shoulder height off the ground!

a closed restaurant let us sneak in for some shots, i loved the windows…

look at these beautiful people!

so sweet, these two are so playful!

thanks hollee and john for a great shoot, you should know that after the shoot we went and ate at everybody’s in your honor! :)

side note: how do you like the blog and website face lifts!? we’re pretty excited about them, i think they show more personality…whether that is good or bad?! ;) the new photos of us here on the blog are thanks to our awesome friend kate. check her out!
