aaand we’re back! thanks to our friend clark mackey- the genius behind the asheville web marketing company, sparkdog– we are now rollin legit with a beautifully coded website and blog. most of the content is the same but you’ll probably notice we don’t have two separate sites anymore- everything is all here in one place and we love it!
so now on to all of the images we’ve been dying to share with you this past week! first up- the awesome amy & jeff!
we’d been looking forward to this shoot since getting to know amy and jeff over coffee a couple months ago- their passion for each other, life and creative images was evident and we couldn’t wait to start working with them. when the atlanta botanical gardens were brought up as a possible shoot location i was even more excited. matt and i had been wanting to see the gardens since we moved here but hadn’t had the time- what better way to experience the gardens than to shoot there!? we were excited. the gardens are one of amy and jeff’s favorite places to hang out so they were excellent tour guides! one of jeff’s favorite parts of the gardens is a blue glass sculpture. we shot a lot of images around it but this abstract one was our favorite. to me it has a very 2D design quality to it:
this plant covered walkway was so luscious and bright. if we hadn’t been excited to see so much more of the gardens we would have been great shooting the whole session right here!
ok, on to my favorite image of the day! the indoor gardens were just stunning and the light kicking through the huge glass windows made for a series of images unlike any we’ve shot before. i know that next time we visit the gardens this will be our first stop. the warm smell of the plants was so relaxing and the quiet so refreshing…just thinking about it makes me wish i was there now…
back outside we found a small patch of protected wildflowers. i love the colors in this next image- very fall with a crisp white sky.
towards the end we discovered the children’s play area- our favorite part being this crazy yellow walled slide. amy and jeff were up for a few more images on top of the hundreds we’d already taken (what good sports!) so we jumped in the slide for a final series. i’m so glad we did!
amy and jeff, you two are such an incredible couple. we had a great time hanging out with you guys and we hope to run into you around town sometime (brickstore? sweetwater?). we’re looking forward to your wedding!!
