Atlanta Wedding Photographer|Mark + Kim

August 11, 2015 0 Callanwolde, Weddings

Love comes together from all angles to make the greatest combinations. A perfect example of this can be found with Mark and Kim. He’s from Jersey; she’s from the Bahamas. He’s an avid fisherman and she loves to work with numbers. Nonetheless they unite to become one of the most caring, fun-loving couples around. Nowhere was this more evident than on their wedding day. An easy-going outdoor ceremony with laughs layered all throughout. Their happiness is ever so evident on a variety of bridal portraits across multiple settings within the Callanwolde Fine Arts grounds. Even though we’ve photographed multiple weddings and events here; never have we been able to make such extensive use of this gorgeous venue on one occasion, covering both the inside and outside spaces of the property. It’s a testament to the value they place on photography. So many thanks to this wonderful couple for such a great experience.

Among several descriptions, Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines personality as attractive qualities that make a person interesting or pleasant to be with. Fuse two great personalities together and what do you get? Pure awesomeness! That’s what we have with Alex and Yaquelin. Spunk and loads of personality! A gorgeous sunny afternoon, a slight breeze plus tons of energy and laughter powered this engagement session across Piedmont Park and the Fox Theater in Downtown Atlanta. As a wedding photographer, working with couples that have this type of chemistry makes our job so much fun. We can’t help but to look forward to their August wedding!

Renaissance Atlanta Waverly Hotel Wedding Photos | Nigerian Wedding Photographer|Chuma + Belle

June 22, 2015 0 Weddings

Elegance meets exuberant color. That’s the best way we can describe the beauty of a Nigerian wedding. Chuma+Belle’s big day that began at the Renaissance Atlanta Waverly Hotel for bridal prep, followed by a ceremony at the Holy Spirit Catholic Church and then back to the the ballroom at the Renaissance Waverly embodied everything you would expect from a wedding. A truly loving couple with strong family bonds who know how to celebrate in style. It’s how all these factors play out that makes their experience so unique.

Belle and Chuma’s Nigerian Wedding

Traditional outfits that feature their culture and heritage compliment modern, sophisticated details. The day begins with Belle’s beautiful couture dress and Chuma’s sleek black suit. By the time the reception arrives, a quick change of outfits provides an explosion of color. In particular, the Aso-ebi custom is incredibly eye catching. With this Nigerian wedding tradition, outfits are made from matching fabrics and pattern and worn by family members to denote unity, support, and to represent sides of the family. Belle chose to feature Ankara lace in a rich hue of yellow with forest green accents for her wedding party. Friends and family join in the festivities with their own color combinations for a truly uplifting pallet of colors. Touching family tributes and native dance displays provide an atmosphere unlike other weddings you may experience. Heartfelt thanks to Chuma+Belle for allowing us to share this journey! Renaissance Waerly Atlanta Allure Couture Wedding Dress Photo

Zach + Kerri | Roswell Engagement

May 25, 2015 0 Engagements

Sunny, spring, Sunday afternoons are extra special when you can hang out with great people. Such was the case with Zach + Kerri as we made our way through Roswell. They both have challenging careers, Zach is a paramedic and Kerri, a project manager. However, when the weekend arrives, they know how to have fun. Whether it’s catching the Black Keys in concert, a Georgia Tech football game on a fall day, or just hiking a mountain trail; they’re like-minded and have a great attitude towards life. Not to mention they are crazy about each other! With all that in mind, it made sense to have this engagement session outdoors where we could highlight some of the things that reflect who they are. Thanks again Zach + Keri for a great afternoon. If this is any indication, your wedding will be spectacular!

Steven + Margot | Atlanta Wedding

May 11, 2015 1 Weddings

A walk in the clouds. No, not the 1995 movie. We’re referring to the romantic rooftop wedding that Steve and Margot pulled off at the Peachtree Club in downtown Atlanta. Nothing but blue skies surrounded this couple and their guests as the warm rays of the sun peered over the skyline on this very chilly and windy afternoon. A black and gold theme set the tone for modern elegance across all the details. From the beautiful Bloomin Bouquets floral arrangements to those gorgeous black BCBG bridesmaid dresses. It was perfect.

We had such a great time working with everyone in this wedding. Such a relaxed atmosphere. Nerves could not be found anywhere. It was just a casual weekend wedding getaway in the clouds in one of the best venues in Atlanta. To make things even sweeter, Steve’s Michigan State Spartans made the NCAA Final Four and DJ Euro Andy had everyone rocking the night away. Really, what’s not to like? In any case we send our heartfelt thanks to Steve + Margot for allowing us to document all the memories of that day. Let’s relive some of those moments right now!

Iain + Katja | Lake Lanier Islands Wedding

April 21, 2015 0 Weddings

Simply fun! In our opinion there is no other way to describe Iain and Katja. Among so many other wonderful qualities, their sense of humor is infectious and unique. Such a quality is so valuable on a day when the skies insisted on dropping uncontrollable amounts of rain on one of the prettiest outdoor venues in Georgia; the Pineisle Center at Lake Lanier. Just imagine, a beautiful hilltop view to the lake and it was impossible to use. Nonetheless to look at this couple as they navigated their way through the day; you almost couldn’t tell we were inside. They always roll with the punches using laughter to place everyone else at ease. This is something we quickly noticed back in April when we first met Katja and then again when we shot their engagement session in July with similar circumstances. On this day their wedding had an infusion of sentimental keepsakes passed on from previous generations and handmade decorations layered in subtle purple and gray accents providing an elegant and personal touch. Friends and family from as far away as the UK and Asia made the day even better. It was truly a pleasure to photograph this wedding and work with such wonderful people. Thanks Iain and Katja for allowing us to share the most important day of your lives.

Chad + Jaime | Durham Wedding

March 25, 2015 0 Destination, Weddings

It was a cool but sunny Saturday afternoon in Durham, North Carolina for this lovely wedding. Chad + Jaime were simply a blast to photograph with their carefree, easy-going personalities. They truly were able to enjoy the company of their family and friends without worrying about every little detail of the wedding. They transitioned seamlessly from the ceremony at the church to the reception at Bay 7; formerly a tobacco warehouse from the historic district dating back to the 1800s. Now a days this is one of the coolest venues in the entire city. Thanks Chad + Jaime for bringing us along for the ride!

Engaged | Juan + Anna

March 13, 2015 0 Engagements

It’s been a cold and rainy start to 2015 here in Georgia. Nevertheless, on this gorgeous Sunday afternoon in March we were able to finally get out and shoot our first engagement session of the year. Providing a mix of garden charm with a big city feel, the Hyatt-Villa Christina grounds was the perfect spot for Juan and Anna’s photo shoot. It’s also the site of their big New Year’s Eve wedding! So of course, confetti exploding champagne bottles had to be included in the mix as a tie-in! It was all part of a fantastic, playful afternoon with this beautiful couple.

REET + JULIE’s CHANDIGARH, INDIA WEDDING – PART 3 (Wedding, Portraits + Reception)

The third and final portion of our special destination series takes us through the wedding and the reception. Click to see Part 1 and Part 2. A warm sunny morning greets the bride and groom as they start their getting ready process. For Reet that meant getting his Batna ceremony out on the porch before dressing up in an elegant brocaded sherwani with a traditional turban wrap. As with any bride, Julie had extensive hair and makeup before changing into her beautiful, bright red lehenga. Lots of jewelry is part of the mix, including a nath or nose ring. A common tradition for brides. Once ready, the groom is given a sehra headdress, a sword and a horse to ride into the ceremony. All along the streets, music is played and everyone dances as the groom is escorted to the temple. The wedding is a very detailed affair. Ceremonies within ceremonies take place as friends and family surround the couple. In India it is customary to sit on the floor during the entire event. Finally once the actual wedding concludes, everyone enjoys a special lunch before heading back to prepare for the evening’s big event. With the Himalayan Mountains as a backdrop, the gorgeous Pinjore Gardens served as the setting for a lavish reception. Tall columns and colorful silk fabrics in multiple colors surrounded a huge stage. Exotic flowers were strung together behind the couples chase and back-lit to glow in a tasteful pattern. As Reet and Julie arrive in a horse and carriage, they are showered with magenta-red flower petals that fall as profusely as confetti at a Super Bowl. After the toast, fireworks begin to shoot up in the night’s sky as the couple cuts the cake. From here on, it’s just one big party!

Once again, congratulations to Reet + Julie on a fantastic wedding and thanks for taking us along for the ride!
