we wanted to let everyone know rachel and zach’s wedding slideshow is up!

we definitely have been posting a ton the past week so if you haven’t checked out our top picks from rachel and zach’s rehearsal dinner and wedding (which was a 2-part post), then scroll down!

first of all i don’t want to be misleading anyone but this isn’t your usual sweet kate writing this morning but rather the very manly matt- could you tell? i’m kinda curious… the reason i get to talk with you this morning is because kate is busy preparing an incredible breakfast and brunch for after church- you guessed it, mothers are coming in town (in about 20 minutes!). we’re lucky enough to have kate’s family (count 3) plus grandmother and grandaddy (count 2) to visit us (count 2) here in buckhead! and i’m lucky enough to have a wife that knows how to cook, she doesn’t mess around:

for breakfast:

– squeezed orange juice
– blueberry almond coffee cake
– monkey bread
– strawberries and coffee

for brunch:

– orange cream mimosa’s w/candied orange zest
– bacon wrapped asparagus w/lemon chive cream
– shirred eggs w/parmesan and chive
– field greens w/cranberry vinaigrette and parmesan chips
– shaved hash browns
– mint iced tea

and if you know kate at all, you know that every one of those items are fresh or homemade, i’m not exaggerating at all either. with how much i enjoy food, it’s a good day to be me and definitely a good day to be a mother- i’m just not sure where we’re all going to sit in our little apartment (count 7)!

happy mothers day!

dinner and two skylines

ladies and gentleman! rachel and zach’s rehearsal dinner slideshow!

i’m full! matt and i actually just finished a late dinner on the roof of our building. we both really love it up there but i had to be talked into it tonight; we just have so much work to do! finally, after i made matt promise he wouldn’t take any pictures of me (a promise which he did, in fact, break. shocker!) i gave in and we grabbed dinner and the camera and headed up. matt was totally right (as usual ;)), it was really refreshing to take some time for ourselves. we’re simple people- for us it’s hard to beat cuddling, pizza, wine and a beautiful skyline. we only took a couple of shots and it was a little hazy but i wanted to share them with you guys, the city just looks so peaceful! we’re definitely lovers of mountains and oceans but we do enjoy a good skyline as well!

first, buckhead:

then, midtown:

sweet dreams all, we’ve got to grab some rest, before we know it it’ll be 6:30am and we’ll be in the car on the way to hannah and matt’s wedding! we’re excited!

some good news!

we are happy to welcome ashley and david’s slideshow to our gallery page! check them out!

as you may already know, matt is a designer for a small ad agency here in atlanta. he really loves the people there and i’m pretty sure they love him – at least he keeps them entertained ;) !

all that to say, matt has officially bid farewell to full-time at his agency. it was not an easy decision, but now that it has been made we are stoked! we’re so blessed that photography demands so much of our time; it’ll be exciting to finally lavish our little biz with the attention we think it deserves. i’m most excited that we’ll be able to accept more shoots during the week and matt’s totally pumped about maintaining our quick turn-around time for our clients. overall, this is a scary (individual health insurance? eek!) move but a move that we’re trusting will help us better satisfy you, which is totally our ultimate goal.

anyway, so that’s what’s new here in the altmix home! before you started reading i forgot to warn you of the semi-serious, semi-businesslike nature of this post and i’m sorry. i guess that is one of the perils of reading my online journal! ;) so let’s spice things up a little with a recent love of mine. this dress is entirely too short for me, not too flattering of a shade for my tones, and carries a hefty price tag. but i’m in love. someone else please buy this, pleeease?!
