betsy & fletch are married!

By | Weddings | One Comment

matt and i first met betsy & fletch at one of our favorite spots on atlanta’s westside, jct bar. we arrived early, like we usually try to do, to make sure there was a table available. we chatted about who knows what- mostly because during that time we’re both keeping one eye on all doors for a couple to enter who looks like they are looking for someone else. which, btw, has resulted in us almost introducing ourselves to many couples just scanning the room for a free table for their post work happy hour- embarrassing. ;)  anyway, betsy & fletch arrived and we immediately loved them. betsy is warm and down to earth- easy to talk to and full of energy. fletch is quieter, quick witted and engaging and his eyes rarely leave betsy. we ordered fries and cocktails and spent our happy hour getting to know one of the sweetest couples ever- sometimes i forget this is a job. :)

since i was unavailable to shoot on their wedding day, matt & i were so happy to find that our friend anne was available to step in- she’s awesome. it wasn’t easy to send matt off alone that day but i was 110% confident that anne would be the perfect fit for betsy & fletch’s wedding day. thank you anne!!

i love this next set of images- betsy seeing her father for the first time. the emotion on both of their faces is such a testament to their relationship- such a sweet moment to capture. :)

a beautiful close shot matt took during portraits- this is one of my favorites:


betsy & fletch, we are so, so happy for you two! thank you for including us in your day- we’re so glad we got to know you! we wish you the best!

vanessa & christos are married!

By | Weddings | One Comment

a long time ago, when it was perfectly acceptable for me to sip margaritas on sunny monday afternoons at holy taco, matt & i had the pleasure of meeting vanessa & christos. they were down to earth and their warm smiles and fascinating stories kept us happily in our seats as the sun fell lower. sometimes during a meeting i find myself wishing i was shooting right then- capturing the way they look at one another as the other talks, capturing the love and laughter as they relay their own story to us. such beautiful moments! but in those times i quickly realize that shooting their wedding day will be a wonderful treat and it makes us even more grateful to them for inviting us in to their celebration. vanessa & christos’ wedding day was so relaxed and full of sweet moments and laughter- we didn’t see any of the stress that can often sneak in- nothing could take away their smiles. they kept such a great perspective on the day, soaking up the smiles of their family and friends, dancing and catching up and still finding quiet moments to be together throughout it all. i really love these two. :)

christos’ quiet words kept vanessa grinning the whole day. it was so sweet to see the two of them so wrapped up in one another, so quick to laugh together and so obviously in love.

i know matt already tweeted this image but i could not leave it out of this post. i love quick moments like this during family portraits- some might consider this an outtake- i think it’s a beautiful image of a family that really loves one another and has a lot of fun. :)


vanessa & christos, thank you so much for inviting us in to your beautiful wedding day. we loved capturing you two as well as your family and friends. we wish you the very very best!

mary nevin & thomas are married! the U.S. wedding.

By | Weddings | 2 Comments

there are lots and lots of things matt & i love about our job. we meet so many amazing people, capture the sweetest moments in the world and attend lovely celebrations full of rich emotion and lots of fun. but it’s just one night. we really do enjoy getting to know all of our couples and their families and, though our feet may be tired after a long day of shooting, it’s always a little sad when it’s all over. but with mary nevin and thomas, when we left their dreamy french celebration, we left with a smile- knowing we’d have the chance to do it all over again in the US! what fun!

mary nevin & thomas followed their warm june wedding with a chilly december wedding in decatur, one of our favorite little downtowns in all of atlanta. i love how these two planned a uniquely southern yet uniquely them celebration- including serving breakfast for dinner at their reception! you guys, there was a pancake bar! why have i never seen this before!? i immediately wanted to host a dinner party at my own house with a pancake bar- i’ve never met anyone who wouldn’t love that. anyway, back to mary nevin & thomas, it was so great to see them again and catch up on their lives- they always have so many awesome things going on! in fact, the day after these images were taken they were skiing in utah- and then a couple of days later they were swimming in a steaming crater. that’s their real life. these two are my heros!

mary nevin is so incredible with kids- we noticed it in france but when we finally got to meet naomi (the precious little one mary nevin used to nanny for) and saw her and mary nevin together it was just the sweetest. these two have such a beautiful bond.

it may have been chilly outside but inside the old decatur courthouse everything was warm and glow-y, i really do love what flickering candlelight can do to a room. so cozy. :)


mary nevin & thomas, seriously it was so wonderful to see you again! thank you so much for trusting us to capture two such special days. we’re so glad to hear that you guys are doing so well and we can’t wait to see you guys soon at one of our many mutual favorite spots in atlanta!
