atoya & sam are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 5 Comments

matt & i first had the pleasure of meeting atoya last spring. at the time it was a quick introduction, as she was just beginning jennifer’s wedding day makeup and i couldn’t wait to start taking images of the process! jennifer’s makeup turned out beautifully and we were once again struck by how many amazing people we get to work with in this industry- love it! so, of course, it was such an honor when we heard from atoya about her own wedding!

fast forward to an overcast, chilly february evening, when we had the pleasure of meeting sam for the first time and taking some engagement pictures with them. we’d been in touch with atoya leading up to their shoot and she expressed their love of the city landscape as well as her attachment to old hollywood, dramatic, black and whites. what a perfect vision for a shoot in midtown in february! the wind helped create a little sass and the city lights allowed us to shoot well into the evening and capture some out-on-the-town, more photojournalistic images as well. it was a great shoot; atoya & sam are so cuddly and sweet together, they were a joy to capture. they also know how to pull off some serious drama which worked so perfectly with her vision! bottom line, it wasn’t until we were done shooting that matt & i realized we were freezing- THAT’S how much we enjoyed our afternoon with atoya & sam. :)

absolutely my favorite:


atoya & sam, you guys are so perfect together. every second of our shoot with you was a joy and you guys were such good sports about all of the crazy locations we had in mind. ;) we really enjoyed working with your vision and we are so excited about your upcoming wedding!

melissa & thea are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 7 Comments

you know how we all talk about trying to really, intentionally, LIVE life? it’s something i’m working on this year- taking in every moment and engaging with it. so many small moments in everyday life are really incredible and i want to notice that as often as possible. as a wedding photographer who tries so hard to embrace this mindset every saturday, i think i need to start living my day to day life with the same intentionality. so that’s my little morning tangent- thanks to melissa & thea, who, as i edited their photos last week, helped me come to this realization. :)

when it comes to living every second of life, melissa & thea are my new role models! every little bit of contact we’ve had with melissa has been overflowing with joy- her love of thea, her friends and all of the little things too. she and thea met us for dinner just after they got engaged and right away we could see their deep connection and passion for living life together. melissa is adorable and outgoing- full of laughs for thea’s quiet but witty comments and together, they’re truly a wonderful couple. we had a great afternoon running around the westside- matt & i stuffed into at least three layers of long johns and melissa & thea looking classy and carefree, showing us, once again, their ability to embrace every moment:

obsessed with this next shot that matt snagged really quickly between locations. i’m not really sure why but i think it’s because they look like movie stars:


melissa & thea, we feel so honored that you chose us to capture you together! we are looking forward to your wedding day- it’s going to be amazing! :)

sarah & jonathan are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 8 Comments

three years ago when matt & i first started kicking around the idea of wedding photography we knew two things (and really only two things, let’s be honest): we wanted to capture real moments and we should have a blog. i’m not sure i’d advise starting a business with that vague of a business plan but that’s exactly what we did. so, to start our blog, we needed to know what awesome blogs were like. and that’s when matt found jonathan.

at the time, matt was working as a designer at a small agency here in atlanta and he and one of his fellow designers, after a few weeks of reading jonathan’s awesome blog, decided to head over and see what his startup, monday night brewing, was all about. we immediately gave up learning about blogging in favor of just chatting and enjoying their beer. anyway, then jonathan met a rad girl named sarah and they eventually started dating. matt & i had the privilege of first meeting her at a settler’s of catan ‘party’ (or, for the nerdier more awesome crowd, ‘tournament’) where she very politely let me win. sarah’s a really nice person. since then we’ve shared a couple meals and she is truly such a brilliant person. matt & i feel so lucky that we now have the opportunity to capture jonathan and his lovely sarah’s sweet engagement and wedding. and also, you should click here right now and see what good craft beer is all about.

so anyway, images! we had such a fantastic afternoon shooting with sarah & jonathan- they are an incredible couple. so down to earth, creative, funny and, well, fierce? what i mean is, they work it. one of our favorite shoots EVER ever:

sarah was freezing by the end of our shoot but she didn’t let it slow her down! i love these next few ‘between’ shots of jonathan warming her up, so sweet:

aaaand, pretty much my favorite ever:


sarah & jonathan, thank you guys so so much for trusting us to capture how perfect you two are together. we really are honored to be a part- can’t wait for your wedding!
