thanks so much to michelle from lemiga event management for featuring us on her blog! check out the interview here and for all of you brides to be out there stop by her open house soiree on august 24th to get some great ideas! (and say hello! we’ll be shooting the event!) :)
hello from the beach!! matt and i were so excited when we got the call to shoot an engagement session here; we don’t give ourselves a lot of breaks so it’s a good thing our clients make it happen! more from the beach shoot later, right now i want to talk about a couple we’ve been blessed to have gotten to know pretty well – a couple that totally cracks us up – a couple that is totally in love. allison and adam met up with us at piedmont park last wednesday for their engagement pics and really, we just hung out. yes we took a b.zillion shots as well but they were relaxed and funny and up for anything so it was like spending an afternoon in the park with friends. so anyway, allison and adam rocked. their reception is at park tavern so taking shots around the park really fit in with their theme and it was the perfect place to bring the rest of their family, gunner and maggie. here are a few of our favorite shots:
these dogs are such a part of the family, this picture cracks me up how the dogs seem so human:
dogs on guard while their parents share some quality time:
every man needs a picture with his dog like this. note: allison is actually behind adam in this pic with little gunner, but you can’t see her at all, which really, i think it hilarious:
the fam: :)
i really love this next image. it is so blown out by the sun but the little pieces of the image that are left really fit together nicely in my opinion:
i’m happy to end on this pic, it’s just so warm and romantic:
allison & adam, it was awesome to spend so much time with you guys! thanks so much for an amazing shoot and even better company. we’re really excited for the wedding – matt is already talking about the shots he has in mind for the cigar room, you guys rock!

ahhhh, we’d almost forgotten what a weekend in our little home is like!! matt and i actually had this weekend off, our first non-shooting weekend since March 8th, what?! …to confirm your suspicion – yes, we’re nuts. although nuts works for us, no?
we relaxed. after meeting with our newest bride saturday (who is planning a fabulous indian wedding at lake lanier :) ), we grabbed coffee and headed over to atlanta’s newest claim to fame, h&m. filled to the brim with affordable style matt quickly dubbed it ‘the ikea of clothing’ while i settled on ‘heaven.’ it was sad (but probably good) that they were totally out of smaller sizes for us but we left with some sweet accessories and plans to return soon!
from there we scoured a few thrift stores for a tandem bike to fulfill matt’s dream of us saving gallons of gas in style(?). no luck on the bike or finding matt a vintage suit vest (another unique item he has his heart set on) but we aren’t giving up! i can’t give up – how studly would my huz look in a slim little vest!? that’s right! ;)
…moving on! we wrapped up the weekend with a visit from my family to celebrate father’s day. i cooked a gross combination of dad’s favorite foods so we spread out the eating experience over the whole day so we didn’t have to look at (for example) monkey bread and buffalo wings at the same time. ugh, i’m still full and i’ll likely still be full tomorrow at this time, totally worth it since i have the best dad ever! well on this lovely note i better get to sleep; we’ve set some intense goals for this week and i need to be ready to go in the am! love!
