we made it! ahh, so glad to be home in atlanta! it was quite the long weekend; we actually ended up spending all day monday sleeping on the beach, but minus some sunburn (don’t bother asking matt to apply sunscreen to your back ;) ) we’re doing a-ok. phew. except that it’s 11:30 and i’m exhausted, but maybe that’s not the weekend, maybe i just need to realize that i’m getting old an adult. ;)
so, help please! should we get netflix? we’ve been playing with the idea for a while now. we rarely make it out to the theatre and there aretonsofmoviesout that one or both of us have been wanting to see…and netflix seems easy enough, right?
in exchange for your review of netflix i give you my review of this round handle facial brush. for the same price of a beginner netflix plan you can own this beauty. this is the least expensive, most significant thing i own. use it and there isn’t a stitch of makeup left on your face and you feel all tingly and smooth. fabulous. seriously, skip the spa and give this brush a week, you’ll thank me later! ;)
i’m excited about getting some wedding pics up soon; stick around!!
it’s been an eventful day already! we squeezed in an engagement session this morning for jessica and earl hours before earl’s leave was scheduled to end, whew! glad we made it though, jessica wanted greenery so over christmas (his next leave) wasn’t quite a viable option. it was great to hang out with them more and take some shots, but it might be a little while before those pictures surface because we have two weddings to go this weekend!!
we’re excited about ed and leanne’s intimate outdoor affair this afternoon/evening. we stopped in the marlow house earlier this week to check out where we’d be shooting and got so inspired by the landscaping and decor, can’t wait to share some pics from there! we’ll be grabbing a few hours of sleep before jumping back in the car and heading to tybee island for jessica and mark’s wedding, ah the beach, can’t even wait! jessica is a friend of matt’s from high school and when i finally met her over christmas she was so excited and happy about her wedding that it really rubbed off on me! they’ll be getting married on the battery which is sure to be classy and i’m also excited i’ll get to see andrea there as a bridesmaid! sounds like good times overload, eh? we shall see! we’re pretty high energy people but this will be the test to see if we ever book a two wedding weekend again! i’ll keep you posted! happy long weekend friends!
my first trip ever to chipotle was our first time meeting amy and chad, what an all around awesome day! over quite excellent gourmet burritos (their words, not mine, although i do agree :) ) we chatted about how they met, their upcoming wedding (and corresponding killer reception), and life in general. we immediately liked amy and chad.
it was great to reconnect with them on tuesday for their engagement shoot! since they are super braves fans (like, multiple.games.a.week kind of fans!) chad had the fabulous idea of shooting their pics at a game! of course we were up for it, it was a little different, great company and braves baseball – perfect!
we decided to grab a few ‘green’ shots for amy before heading to the stadium:
i really love noticing the way each couple we shoot holds hands. it is always so sweet and uniquely ‘them’ we make sure to get a shot of it each session we do!
we were racing the rain at the park, the skies were darkening and we knew our time was short!
once at the game, matt and i switched gears and shot more like we shoot a wedding – capturing the whole story and very selectively offering suggestions. we also put down the cameras and spent a few innings chatting with amy and chad and cheering for the braves; what a great night!
the bottom did finally drop out of the sky and it rained like crazy! luckily, it didn’t last long and when we emerged from our cover the sky looked like this:
the game finally started and we took our (quite excellent, thanks chad!!) seats. this picture is from the second inning when we were tied with the mets; we pulled it out but it was a little nail-biting for a while!
we headed up to the top of the stadium to take some shots right before we left and though it was dark, we had some crazy stadium lights to work with!
our favorite shot we took in front of the skyline happens to barely include the skyline, oh well! :)
i know chad’s fingers were crossed the whole time that the stadium would work out (since it was his idea after all :) ) and i have to say, chad, good call!
amy and chad, thank you guys for such a great evening! it was awesome getting to know you two better and you couldn’t have picked a more perfect setting in which to do that ;) ! we are so looking forward to the wedding and meeting noah too!
