laura & kenny are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 2 Comments

a couple of weeks ago matt & i traveled to the great city of auburn alabama to meet up with laura & kenny for their engagement pictures. it was my first trip to the area and despite my slight predisposition to be unimpressed (go dawgs!) i decided it would have been a pretty awesome place to go to school. ;) aaaanyway, we arrived early to scout out locations and ended up running into laura & kenny as they had arrived a bit early as well! we happily got started as the sun hit a perfect shade of gold and shot into the night, literally- scroll down. but anyway, we loved exploring the campus and talking about everything from their wedding to the goodness that is the city of new orleans (and creole cuisine!!). we are so looking forward to seeing them again at their amazing wedding on sea island this december- i think the beach is so romantic in the winter- laura & kenny, i like your style! :)

first up, a few with the pooches! dogs are always totally unpredictable and fun:

i’m pretty sure kenny’s pup and our stella are cut from the same cloth- sitting back to the camera while leaning against a friend- so familiar. ;)

laura & kenny are so clearly in love- look at those eyes!

as the sun sank lower it bathed everything in a warm red glow. we thought it contrasted so strikingly with the deep blue sky that we had to capture it! thanks to laura & kenny for allowing us to experiment with you a little! ;)

before we knew it twilight was almost over and all of the cars driving by were blinding us with their headlights. we asked if we could shoot just a few evening shots on campus before heading home and i love how sweet these came out. the streetlights glowing over the deserted campus- as we were shooting it looked as if laura & kenny were just wandering home late at night from hanging out with friends and they just stopped to talk, not wanting the night to end. what a great way to end their shoot!


laura & kenny, thank you guys so much for asking us to be part of your wedding- we are looking forward to it! hope you guys are doing well and enjoying the last few weeks of your engagement! :)

erica & garey are married!

when we first met erica & garey it was for drinks and snacks at a cozy little bar near our house. i smile thinking back on that evening because it was when we first realized what an inspiring life erica & garey lead. their enthusiasm for everything is contagious and their hearts are huge. i don’t know that we’ve met another couple so down to earth who live their life so purposefully. not a day passes where i haven’t heard of them biking more miles than i can imagine, rallying a bunch of friends for dinner or attending or volunteering for something awesome that i’ve never heard of! they’ve even finished full triathlons to raise money for charities close to their hearts- so now do you love them as much as we do? thought so. now, let’s move onto the day of their wedding- an absolutely perfect fall day in atlanta! the guys spent the morning catching up and enjoying a few good brews while the ladies chatted and snacked on amazing treats from lotta frutta and took turns having their hair and makeup perfected:

the ladies arrived at the old decatur courthouse together and stepped out into the most beautiful warm sunlight! we took a few minutes for portraits before the guys arrived to do the same:

back inside, sheltered from the wind, the girls relaxed together waiting for the ceremony to begin:

erica & garey were all about getting some awesome couple shots! we took our time and explored random corners and walls in downtown decatur- ending the shoot in a dramatically lit parking deck for some glamor before heading back to the courthouse for the party!

the party started the minute erica & garey arrived- guests cheered, high-fived and generally celebrated as the couple made their way to the dance floor for their first dance as mr. & mrs.:

well, i just realized that we posted tons of pictures from their recessional from the ceremony and now we’re about to post a bunch more of them leaving their reception- i guess they are just excellent at making epic exits? i mean that in the nicest way possible!! seriously, some of our favorite exit shots ever:


erica & garey, love you guys! you’re such an amazing couple to spend a day with and we really are honored that you guys chose us to capture everything. hope you are loving married life; we look forward to seeing you guys soon!
