tiffany & andrew are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 7 Comments

this afternoon at piedmont park it was 45 degrees and overcast. my four layers of shirts (yes four, in march, in georgia) couldn’t keep the goosebumps away, and i stared in disbelief at the beautiful tiffany as she smiled and smooched her fiance in a delicate yellow halter dress. she and andrew definitely win the trooper award for their incredible attitude and endless smiles (possibly frozen smiles?) at their engagement shoot today. their playful personalities and free-flowing laughter made the afternoon so enjoyable for us all, we can’t wait to get to know them better before they tie the knot in june! here are a few of our favorite shots:

colors of spring … ?

By | Personal | One Comment

first!  i’m super-excited to announce that sesha and aaron’s wedding gallery is on the website!  check them out!

lately, i’ve been so inspired by bright imagery.  my eyes tend to linger in cool blue shadows and warm yellow highlights – this is the artsy side of me, this makes me truly love how we photograph. 

[i’ve even found myself itching to grab brighter clothes for spring – i might be unrecognizable without my standard black, cream, and grey!  i get this sneaking suspicion (or it bowls me over when i walk into the new safari of color that is lennox mall) that lots of color will be hot this spring, so i’ve timidly picked up a few accent pieces i hope to pluck up the courage to wear!]

but i digress, i meant to talk about photography color, and how i have fallen hard for candy-bright images.  just clicking on our galleries page shows you our dedication to bright, active, lively images and i think our newest gallery is no exception.  however, my favorite images from aaron and sesha’s wedding are all black and white! what?! (have i reverted back to blacks, creams, and greys? oh no!)  i think we’re all a sucker for a black and white sometimes, but you can rest assured that our dedication to color is still as alive and vibrant (oh yes, i said it) as ever.  that being said, here are a few of my loves from last weekend:

the levett wedding!

all weddings are different, they each have a unique feel that stems directly from the personality of the couple. this past weekend, on the beach in front of his family’s old house, aaron married sesha in a ceremony overflowing with smiles and a couple of tears too. the sky was blue, the waves were rustling, and the sand reflected the footprints of friends and family from all across the country who came to celebrate with this loving couple.

following the ceremony was a celebration at the surf golf & beach club. aaron and sesha are a self-described unconventional couple and for their reception wanted nothing more than a big party for their friends and family. they were laughingly talked into cutting the cake together but in general abandoned traditions and focused on catching up with friends and family. it was an enthusiastic celebration filled with dancing, laughing, and love; here is their story in a few of our favorite pics:
