brittany & robbie are engaged!

By Kate Altmix | Engagement Sessions | 11 Comments

there is such thing as a ‘natural’ in front of the lens but i’ve very seldom met one of these lucky few. for most of us, there are a few nerves involved in having our picture made- a few nerves and more than a few uncomfortable giggles- at least that’s what i do in front of the lens! for this reason we like to get to know our clients, hang out without a camera at least once and exchange emails from time to time. it just helps everyone involved feel more comfortable!

but there are always times when that’s not possible- like with brittany & robbie- and the first time we meet with them is when we’re shooting! luckily they were ready to rock the shoot even before we arrived so it was no problem at all that this was our first meeting! robbie made it clear from the beginning that he was doing this for brittany and was up for whatever we wanted to try. he wanted it to be perfect for her and listening to that we knew right then that their chemistry was not going to be hard to capture!

we wandered around the park wedging them between vines and boulders, mixing them with weeds, tucking them under bridges not to mention doing all of this with brittany’s adorable heels! they are an amazing couple- kinda quiet and very sweet- and it seemed not to matter the situation they were in, they were just happy to be in this together. like i said, just adorable. we’re sad not to be shooting their wedding but we are so excited that we were able to squeeze in a day shoot for them before their save the dates go out! so here are a few of our faves but there are lots more too- can’t wait to see which one they choose!

brittany & robbie, i am so glad we were able to meet you guys and take some pictures! you’re an incredible couple and we know you’ve got an amazing future ahead of you! best wishes!

rachelle & damon are engaged!

By Kate Altmix | Engagement Sessions | 7 Comments

when matt and i first started the biz we were so blessed to have so many people encouraging and believing in what we were doing. one of those people was rachelle, who decided to trust us with her fall 2009 wedding in the early spring of 2008. i can’t continue without mentioning michelle, rachelle’s wedding planner, who brought us to her attention in the first place- we are so grateful to them both!

last sunday we were really excited to finally meet up with rachelle and damon for their engagement pictures. michelle’s suggestion that images in atlantic station would look great on their save the dates sounded excellent to us! since we’d never shot there before we layered up to stay warm and headed over early to check out some spots. when rachelle and damon arrived we were all ready to get started! they were great about cuddling close (it was freezing, so i’m sure that helped!) and were so relaxed in front of the camera. seriously, i told them they needed to write a book on how to be perfectly comfortable during a shoot! they were just that awesome.

we started off at this awesome wall because we knew the metal would gleam and create a really industrial yet abstract look:

of course a session in atlantic station during the holiday season would not be complete without a few shots by the big tree! here’s one of our favorites:

after these shots we found a nice (well not NICE, that’s why it’s not in the images!) bench for some more cuddling/keeping warm. watching them cuddle and laugh and be together surrounded by flowers and holiday decorations was like something out of a movie, i loved it!

i always think it’s interesting to see the images matt and i take at the same time- seeing the same moment from two very different angles and perspectives is such a joy to me! first up, matt’s. followed by mine:

and i wanted to end with our favorite shot of the day. we LOVE the vanishing lines of the building and rachelle and damon just look smokin!

molly & andrew are engaged!

By Kate Altmix | Engagement Sessions | 6 Comments

when we receive messages about weddings we instantly try to schedule a coffee date to get to know the people behind the emails. we really love when we are blessed to deepen the business-client relationship with friendship. we were excited that molly and andrew were up for coffee and we are so grateful that we were able to get to know such an incredible couple. not only did we get to see them interact and learn about them, we also left with a great picture of their vision for their wedding day! exciting!

we continued to email and when we scheduled their engagement session we knew they would be sweet and comfortable together and we were looking forward to the shoot. they did not disappoint and we had a great- albeit cold and windy- engagement session! i’ve been looking forward to posting these images for a while because they are such an adorable couple- check them out!

love this next image- the sky was so brilliant!

matt used to work in marietta so the square is an old haunt for us- we were looking forward to returning to shoot and see what we could do with the environment:
in the square there is a little section for kids to play on- not quite a playground- more like a kid size train car with this little red house. couldn’t really pass it up, good thing they remembered it for pictures!

this next one is my fave- you can just see how sweet and comfortable and in love they are:

molly & andrew, you guys did a fabulous job and thank you so much for being so awesome and braving the chilly winds! i hope you agree with us that it was worth it. we look forward to getting you the rest of the images and seeing you guys soon!
