ashton & michael are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | One Comment

a few weeks ago one of our sweet clients, amy, introduced us to the beautiful neighborhood park where she got engaged. we spent some time with her shooting some bridal portraits there and couldn’t wait to return with an adventurous couple! that couple was, undoubtedly, ashton & michael. matt & i arrived early to scope out the location some more and when it was time to meet up with ashton & michael we found them happily chatting on the swings in the playground. we caught up for a while and heard about what an incredible week it had been for them- so many good things are going on in their lives! as we talked, we took a few playground pics, just for fun, and then climbed down into the river. we really love it when clients are relaxed and happy and also trusting of our vision because we are really able to stretch ourselves and try new things. so, HUGE thanks to ashton & michael for being awesome and having fun together no matter what precarious rock we had you perched upon! ;)

we found a small area of densely packed, bare, skinny trees and we kiiiinda got stuck there we liked it so much! and i kiiiinda want to go back here to take our christmas card photo…

i love this next series, such a perfect capture of the fun and love ashton & michael share:

as ashton & michael’s shoot drew to a close, we found ourselves in a dusky blue light. the warm tones of the leaves looked so beautiful in the cool light that we decided to end the shoot with a few reclining images to capture the environment and the serene, calm feeling of the almost empty park. i love these:


ashton & michael, thank you guys for trusting us every step of the way! we really loved our afternoon with you and we cannot wait for your beautiful spring wedding!

katie & nikhil are engaged!

we first met katie & nikhil at our favorite little taqueria down the street from our house. while we talked photography with nikhil, katie fought her way through atlanta’s famously terrible traffic- in a thunderstorm- respect! we sipped on margaritas and munched on chips while rain pounded the streets outside. it was great getting to know katie & nikhil and hearing about their travels around the globe! they’ve already shared so many incredible experiences together (they got engaged while hiking in new zealand! that is their real life, ohmygosh!)- no doubt they’ll have many more adventures in their future! when their engagement shoot rolled around, it was again: raining. but when their rescheduled shoot rolled around it was PERFECT! and about time. these two have such sunny personalities- a stunning fall day was just what they deserved!

i LOVE this next photo, something about the angle and the obvious love of katie & nikhil just makes it:

tiny little skinny alleys are awesome:

i love how this next photo represents atlanta- the huge expanse of brick, the faded coke advertisement, the fall leaves…and of course katie & nikhil making everything more awesome:


katie & nikhil, we had a great afternoon with you guys and we’re so excited about your wedding!

kristine & michael are engaged!

we really love how much of our business comes from referrals. it’s not only flattering but it also usually means our new couples are already familiar with our style and ready to trust us behind the camera. so, THANK YOU to all of our awesome couples who are spreading the word! and a special thanks to melissa & thea (who are getting married tomorrow!!) for telling sweet kristine & michael about us!

after exchanging a few phone calls and emails with kristine, we decided on a date, rescheduled due to thunderstorms, decided on another date and finally met them! they were open to many different styles when it came to their location so we chose to shoot in grant park. we knew there would be lots of opportunities for very different settings and we always love shooting variety within a single session. luckily, they were totally cool with a little extra walking and together we discovered some great new spots! one of the many things we love about atlanta- endless nooks to explore! anyway, kristine helped michael shake off his nerves and before we knew it we’d been shooting for two hours and i had filled up my card- oops! ;) we had so many favorites from their shoot- here are just a few:


kristine & michael, happy engagement! thank you so much for asking us to capture it for you!
