yvonne & jesse are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 3 Comments

love these two!

the first time we met yvonne & jesse, they were both sick. we felt SO bad- we could have rescheduled our meeting! but no, the night of our first introduction to yvonne & jesse, we found out right away that they are incredibly driven, excited & passionate- nothing slows them down- not even the lousy summer cold they were fighting! so that night we shared a delicious dinner and great conversation and as we left we made plans to grab another meal soon. a couple months later, over brunch, we discussed their engagement images- they love good food as much as we do and they chose to have their images made in and around two of their (and our!) most favorite restaurants, leon’s and sun in my belly! we spent a sunlit afternoon exploring and catching up on life, wedding planning and the atlanta food scene…and also taking pictures! ;) here are just a few of our faves:

yvonne seems to be always overflowing with happiness! her smile is so brilliant and jesse knows exactly how to trigger it. i really have no idea what he was whispering to her while we were shooting but just looking back over these images makes me smile, remembering just how adorable they are together:

LOVE this next photo. yvonne is just stunning:

yvonne & jesse have two awesome scooters to get around town and if they ever need a car they use a zipcar! i like their style. we grabbed a few images with the scooter they arrived on before following them (shooting from our car, haha) to the next location, fun!

we ended the evening underneath marta, so romantic! but really:


yvonne & jesse, we are so glad to know you! you’re such a special couple and capturing the deep connection you two so obviously share was a joy. cannot wait for the wedding!

becca & ben are married!

By | Weddings | One Comment

now that you’ve experienced becca & ben’s photobooth in all of its’ glory, it’s time for their equally fabulous wedding! we begin in the small town of upatoi, ga, a little over two hours south of atlanta, where some of their family members have a beautiful home and property. while wedding setup began at the house, becca and her friends began their preparations in a lovely little church. the tiny white chapel has such a homey feeling about it and was the perfect way to begin such an intimate, personalized wedding celebration. when i arrived becca was relaxing and laughing with her friends. a little while later she began casually braiding her thick brown hair and adding twists here and there- until she was satisfied. our mutual friend, erica, began to deftly apply becca’s makeup: such a light and natural look with a little sass around the eyes, perfectly stunning. the atmosphere was that of a perfectly restful golden summer day- the way you might feel lingering over a delicious brunch on a patio, mimosa in hand, knowing a day of enjoyment is ahead. i have to commend becca did not allow even one little beautiful moment escape her notice:

after a few portrait-y photos, it was time for the ceremony. the sun cooperated so perfectly and shined golden through the cool green oaks that surrounded the site. the perfect setting:

becca & ben set aside plenty of time for couple portraits and we were excited to learn they wanted to get some at the little white chapel where they got ready! the natural beauty that surrounded every aspect of their day was like a playground for matt & me!

this next photo really struck me. i love the timeless quality of the environment and the naturally classic look of becca & ben- you could easily convince me this photo was taken decades ago:

isn’t this just the most adorable church ever!? it’s available for weddings, in case you were wondering. :) we were so happy to be shooting such an awesome couple in this unique spot:

meanwhile, back at the house:

becca & ben share a love of craft beer and spent some of their free time over the past year visiting some of their very favorite breweries and collecting growlers and bottles to infuse into their wedding decor. i love it when couples think of fun ways like this to display their shared interests! and, since many of their guests (and matt & i, too!) share their love of craft beer, it was so fun for everyone to look around at all of the great places they traveled- sampling and exploring new cities!

becca, notorios for her inability to keep secrets from ben, succeeded in keeping one BIG secret from him until their wedding day: she organized the designing and brewing of a special beer just for their wedding! this is pure surprise:


becca & ben, thank you SO much for asking us to capture your wedding day; we feel so blessed to have been part of such a wonderful celebration. we wish you guys the very best; hope to run into you at the many favorite places we share! :)
