[ note: i thought of a famous actress the whole time we were shooting, i hope you see it too :) ]

anna and jason were engaged in the beautiful founder’s garden on campus at the university of georgia; seems like the perfect place to start their engagement shoot, right? well, matt and i arrived early (as usual) to scout out the location, and as we walked up the hill to the garden the top of a white tent appeared, then a bar complete with glasses and tender came into view, then round tables with extravagant flower arrangements, and finally the caterer who informed us the garden was reserved for a reception. right theme, wrong day, founder’s garden! when anna and jason arrived we grabbed a few shots around the perimeter of the garden before deciding to head to a nearby lake. on the way they stopped to change into more casual clothes and pick up lily, the fiesty little puppy jason gave anna two years ago. at first little lily was afraid of the camera, retreating behind anna or jason. next she decided to attack the camera and bark and lunge at the lens (and subsequently matt, haha)! finally she realized the camera must be nice because mommy and daddy are paying it a lot of attention and seem to be smiling a lot! so then she became a bit of a camera hog, but an adorable one! here are a few of our favorite pics from the day:

thank you anna and jason for being so fun and flexible! i’m so glad that it worked out for us to do your engagement pics, it was great getting to know you guys before the big day! we’re looking forward to the wedding!

good morning friends! -it’s a beautiful one here in atlanta! after a weekend of relaxing and rejuvenating, i am totally ready to take this week by storm. (i’ve already planned what we’re eating for dinner tonight and tomorrow and i’m about to track down all the hangers in the apartment and reorganize the closet!)

our saturday began with a late breakfast, followed quickly by a desire to get outside and enjoy the day. it was beautiful walking around buckhead; it’s no park but it’s just fascinating to see the way sunny and 65 can transform a city. people were walking everywhere and dogs were abundant, it really reminded us why we live here.

sunday matched saturday’s glorious weather and after church and brunch with friends none of us felt like going home. because we all love dogs (and none of us have one) we decided to head to the packed and crazy dog park at piedmont park. matt and i found the love of our lives (of course) in the form of molly, a spaniel-maltese mix with a little golden retriever. how perfect is she??

we spent the rest of the day enjoying the sun and just before heading home grabbed some rita’s ‘ice-custard happiness’ (yup, that’s their official byline). here are a few pics we shot while enjoying friends and sunshine:
