savannah to japan

By | Personal | 9 Comments

someone else please get married at dunaway gardens, the backdrop makes for incredible images! ashley & david, i give you your beautiful slideshow:

—

we got a little carried away in savannah this past weekend. we loved it so much we started looking at property- we even talked to a realtor. those people kinda scare me. i know there are good ones but joe was a wheeler dealer from nyc and i couldn’t keep up with the guy. i think he was trying to assure us that he wouldn’t pressure us into anything but i don’t really know as i was distracted by the misplaced ‘r’s and all the ‘d’s instead of ‘th’s. love the accent.

anyway, we shook ourselves to our senses, remembered why we love atlanta and ran away to grab food- the true theme of the weekend. we stayed in savannah three nights and ate at 11 different restaurants, clearly we have our priorities in the correct order. and thanks to the lovely jessica we did not miss out on the best gelato in town- the ricotta and fig was incredible! we were able to score a sweet little house in the historic district for a great price and the ability to walk everywhere we wanted to go was worth every cent- i even walked to the hair salon saturday morning to start shooting! i’m very excited to post the wedding we shot while there, that should be happening soon!

overall it was a fantastic mini getaway for us! one of the things we love about what we do is experiencing all of the different places we travel. although we haven’t traveled too far (yet!) we’ve been able to see many places we would never have visited otherwise. so if you’re reading this and you live anywhere from washington to spain or from france to japan (read: anywhere in the whole world) we’d love to hear from you!

here are a few images from the trip. i like having the camera, it keeps me out of the shots- though matt called me out on it earlier today when we were looking through pics. i’ll have to be more stealthy about it in the future.

heather & matt are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 6 Comments

last monday we had the pleasure of meeting up with heather & matt in madison, ga for their engagement shoot. this couple was incredible to watch- full of adoring gazes and laughs. seriously, if they ever get tired of their day jobs they can just go full time teaching people to be awesome. they were up for anything- lounging in back alleys, exploring private property, cuddling in an itchy field- with no hesitation they were ready for anything and full of ideas. it was a great afternoon and we are now more excited than ever about their wedding; anything involving these two is bound to be fun!

heather & matt, i hope you guys had a safe flight back to connecticut! we really appreciate you taking some of your time in town to shoot pictures with us- you guys were naturals and i admire how easily showing love and laughter comes to you guys. cannot wait to see you again!

ashley & david are married!

By | Weddings | 9 Comments

saturday seriously rocked. ashley and david were incredible. i’ll talk about all the looove stuff in a second but first can i please tell you how awesomely organized they were!? although ashley and david did not want to see each other before the wedding, they had arranged to be ready in time to take some more creative bridal party pictures prior to the ceremony, family pictures after the ceremony and then dedicated the next 30 minutes to some time alone with us for couple portraits. we love them for that! it always seems to be the plan to get a few of those formal shots taken before the ceremony but rarely is there enough time. these guys not only made time to take the pictures- they built in time for us to really explore the property and take tons of different shots of them with their best friends! ashley and david- thank you so much for making things happen!

ok back to their amazing day. the girls spent most of the day (pre-ceremony) together in a little cottage and it seemed to be such an uplifting time for ashley. it was beautiful to watch all of ashley’s friends and family together, sharing laughs and hugs and encouragement with her. by the time the ceremony rolled around ashley couldn’t stop smiling and was more than ready to get things underway.

we are often asked if we shoot ‘formal’ pictures. we always tell people that we do take them but usually we don’t present them on the blog because it’s just not where we’re able to be most creative. with all of the time ashley set aside on saturday we were able to take the time to get some of our favorite formal shots ever. bold of me to say? maybe. but i just love these!

when it came time for couple photos the light was piercing and golden. the backdrop of dunaway gardens was incredible and ashley and david were able to relax and let their commitment to one another sink in while we made some images.

now to the reception! they have seriously the best taste in music ever and they love to party! i watched a few guests talk matt into dancing for a second -totally hysterical- but the music was so awesome it was just too hard for him to say no!

ashley & david, thank you both so much for including us in your day. everything was so natural and beautiful and we loved capturing it all. right now matt and i are sitting on the couch talking about how jealous we are that you’re on the west coast relaxing together and in general having the time of your lives! can’t wait to hear from you when you get back, they’ll be so many more images on the way to you so soon!
