an update!

By | Personal | 10 Comments

we are happy to report that there are little buds on our trees and daffodils peeking up randomly across our yard (WHY can’t they just stay put around the mailbox in pretty little bunches??) which means: spring wedding season is upon us! this past weekend we split out time between the lowe’s garden center and the absolutely beautiful wedding celebration of margaret & daniel- it could not have been a more excellent pairing! but we’ll talk all about that later, in their wedding post. ;) for now, just a scattered little update on the altmixes:

our website! over the past couple of months we’ve been slowly updating the site, re-writing some copy, uploading new images- just generally refining and cleaning things up. and, finally, for the first time since december of ’09, we took new images for our blog header! we’d love for you to click over and check out the new look- any and all stella compliments will be passed to her in the form of a treat, go!

in other news, the garden is about half planted and we’ve thrown down some clover seed in the yard. really all that means is that the lovely view from our kitchen is now of a somewhat organized mud pit. we’re crossing our fingers for a lush, green, delicious result! but for now:

other than that, we’re attempting to cut back on our coffee consumption so please bare with us as we whine and adjust. ;)

i’m noticing that this post is getting progressively more personal. i can feel the rambling starting in the recesses of my mind and if i let this continue i’ll end up telling you all about my current honey versus sugar dilemma and trust me, that would just be too much. so, instead! please do click over to the updated site– we’d love to hear your thoughts!

leigh & ryan are married!

By | Weddings | 9 Comments

2010 was a great year. fantastic, even! we met some of the most amazing people who were also incredible clients and we feel so blessed. over the last few weeks my google reader has been overflowing with year end recaps buuuut since it’s the 12th and we still haven’t done one let’s just pretend by scrolling up and down the blog really quickly. all together now!

phew!

but before we dive right into 2011, we are so excited to share with you our final wedding of 2010- leigh & ryan!

you may remember leigh & ryan from their early morning engagement shoot at berry college, where they blew us away with their natural style and charm. after that there was no doubt- their wedding was going to be most fabulous! and it was. starting with our first glimpse of the picturesque town of rome, ga:

when matt dropped me off to capture leigh and her best friends as they helped one another get ready, i was excited to meet a room of sweet, beautiful ladies- just like leigh! the atmosphere was relaxed and happy and the loft they were getting ready in provided a beautiful backdrop to the scene:

meanwhile, matt and the guys were downstairs taking a few portraits with ryan and the men:

we left for the church in time for leigh to finish getting ready there before her first look with ryan. once the dress came out of it’s packaging there was NO wiping the smile off of her face! she was just glowing with happiness and excitement as her friends helped her into her beautiful dress:

leigh & ryan had their first look outside the church in an intimate courtyard. capturing their joy at seeing one another after just a morning apart was so beautiful. they sort of…relaxed into one another- does that make sense? it’s like they are most themselves when they are together. they complement one another yet they are alike in so many ways- are you starting to get a picture of how happy the rest of their life is going to be!?

again, so classic! i love these next two shots:

the anticipation before the ceremony- everyone handles it differently! ryan’s chill and relaxed while his ring bearer is…punching himself in the face!?

leigh & ryan’s reception was held at the lovely forrest place, and the old world charm of the venue was perfect for their celebration!

*sidenote for single guys* if you were wondering where all of the beautiful ladies in your city are hiding, check your local school of dentristy. leigh met lots of her best friends there and come on, have you LOOKED through these pictures? but watch out, they’re all brilliant doctors! ;)

by the time leigh & ryan departed a misty rain had started to fall. i’m sure no one would ever hope for rain on a wedding day but for leigh & ryan it made their exit pictures look old hollywood romantic- i love them!


leigh & ryan, you guys are the best. thank you so so much for getting us all the way down to rome for your beautiful celebration! we wish you the very best!

sarah & jonathan are engaged!

By | Engagement Sessions | 8 Comments

three years ago when matt & i first started kicking around the idea of wedding photography we knew two things (and really only two things, let’s be honest): we wanted to capture real moments and we should have a blog. i’m not sure i’d advise starting a business with that vague of a business plan but that’s exactly what we did. so, to start our blog, we needed to know what awesome blogs were like. and that’s when matt found jonathan.

at the time, matt was working as a designer at a small agency here in atlanta and he and one of his fellow designers, after a few weeks of reading jonathan’s awesome blog, decided to head over and see what his startup, monday night brewing, was all about. we immediately gave up learning about blogging in favor of just chatting and enjoying their beer. anyway, then jonathan met a rad girl named sarah and they eventually started dating. matt & i had the privilege of first meeting her at a settler’s of catan ‘party’ (or, for the nerdier more awesome crowd, ‘tournament’) where she very politely let me win. sarah’s a really nice person. since then we’ve shared a couple meals and she is truly such a brilliant person. matt & i feel so lucky that we now have the opportunity to capture jonathan and his lovely sarah’s sweet engagement and wedding. and also, you should click here right now and see what good craft beer is all about.

so anyway, images! we had such a fantastic afternoon shooting with sarah & jonathan- they are an incredible couple. so down to earth, creative, funny and, well, fierce? what i mean is, they work it. one of our favorite shoots EVER ever:

sarah was freezing by the end of our shoot but she didn’t let it slow her down! i love these next few ‘between’ shots of jonathan warming her up, so sweet:

aaaand, pretty much my favorite ever:


sarah & jonathan, thank you guys so so much for trusting us to capture how perfect you two are together. we really are honored to be a part- can’t wait for your wedding!
