For over a decade, wedding photography has opened a path towards meeting and working with so many great couples. Those opportunities have also led to working in so many great locations across Georgia, especially metro Atlanta. This state truly has a wide array of choices to select from when it comes to photo shoots. Mountains, lakes, architecture, sporting venues, historical spots and lots of art. Without a doubt we also have some of the best wedding venues on the east coast. Intimate resorts like Barnsley Gardens or the sheer elegance of the Georgian Terrace or perhaps the modern and breathtaking views of Ventanas. However, we also enjoy the simple carefree moments spent with couples on engagement sessions. Recently Redfin approached us as a regional expert on photography to highlight some of the best spots across the city for a photo shoot. Wondering what we chose? Check out our selection and many other fantastic suggestions from our peers across Atlanta for your next photo shoot here.

Bisham Manor Wedding Photos | LaGrange, Georgia Photographer | Styled Shoot Published in Strictly Weddings

Bisham Manor Wedding Bride Detail Photo

This past spring we had the pleasure of working together with a wonderful team of wedding professionals to highlight one of the best-kept secrets in Georgia. Located in LaGrange, Georgia, the Bisham Manor is a Tudor-style castle with all the luxuries of a modern mansion home.

The location: Bisham Manor

Inspiration for this styled shoot came from the architecture of the house itself. The goal; reflect the custom, bespoke feel of the venue with the modern artistic style of today’s bride. An airy color pallet of blush, gold, ivory, and pale blue-green hues were contrasted nicely by the earthy, rustic tones of the stone and brick walls of the mansion, as well as the dark green landscape surrounding the property.

We are proud to announce that the highly regarded online luxury wedding blog, Strictly Weddings has just published this shoot on their website! Check out the feature located here.

Many thanks to the editors at Strictly Weddings for their consideration. Their blog post has many images; however, we’d like to share some of our personal favorite here.

A classic Mercedes-Benz roadster was just another of the many details that made this project such a wonderful collaboration. Something we affectionately call “Southern Tudor Couture”.

Majestic Fairy-tale Location

The Bisham Manor is no ordinary house. It’s custom made. The same is true of the beautiful wedding gowns used on this day. Couture dresses made of silk gazar and french lace with hand-sewn cathedral veils call to the modern style of today’s bride.Bisham Manor Wedding castle first look photoBisham Manor Wedding castle bridal portrait photoBisham Manor Wedding castle bridal cake photo  A tall, expertly decorated wedding cake helps mimic the height of the house.Bisham Manor Wedding castle wedding cake photoBisham Manor Wedding castle bride and groom photo Bisham Manor Wedding Facade Castle Photo Bisham Manor Wedding Photo Bisham Manor Wedding Bride and Groom Detail Photo Bisham Manor Wedding Bride and Groom Detail Photo

England’s Finest China

Imported fine china with a British-European style complimented the high-end English Tudor history the home was designed for. No two place settings are alike, thus tapping into today’s style of layering patterns and textures for ultimate design.

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!

It’s been a fast paced summer this year for us, filled with various photo assignments. In between engagement sessions and weddings we were so pleased to receive a call from Modern Luxury to shoot a multi-page feature for their Men’s Book magazine fall release. This Porsche inspired shoot mixed high end men’s fashion with beautiful cars and their owners across Atlanta. Special thanks to Jim Ellis Porsche and Miller Brothers Limited for their specific contributions to the project. Layered across various locations in Atlanta including 3109 Piedmont Estate in Buckhead, 7 different shoots were conducted to create this eight page feature. From Castangia cashmere wool sport coats to a 430 horsepower 50th anniversary edition 911, high-class style was everywhere. I must say we really had a soft spot for the perfectly restored 1958 356A Sunroof Coupe Porsche! What a perfect car this would be for an engagement session or for a wedding exit, but I digress. It was a total pleasure working with all the fine resources that made this project a success.

Scott + Ellen | Atlanta Engagement

January 4, 2014 0 Uncategorized

This post is long overdue. In June of 2013, we had the honor and privilege of meeting up with Ellen and Scott at their home for their engagement session. I’ve known Ellen for quite some time. She and I worked together for years and always kept in touch after we both left our jobs. She is a talented graphic designer and currently owns her own studio SeeMeDesign. If you’re ever in need of a truly creative designer, look no further, she’s your gal. I met Scott thru our breakfast get togethers as she always talked about him. I got to personally meet him on this day. He is quite a guy.

This family is so cute. Now you ask… why did I say family? Well we need to introduce you all to Bradley, a Chihuahua mix they adopted a couple of years ago. Ellen mentioned that Bradley is not really comfortable around strangers but I assured her he would be just fine. She even said they took him to a pet photographer earlier in the year and there wasn’t a single image they could take from the session. Just to keep her mind at ease, we opted to take Bradley to one of his usual spots for his walks—a place he was familiar with and could roam free and be comfortable in his own environment. Well that did it. He was a perfect little gentle dog. We all enjoyed having him around and by the looks of his closeups, he thought the same. I was in love with that devilish smile of his. 

The light was perfect that humid afternoon. We’ve been having quite a summer with storms rolling in at any given time but that didn’t stop us from making magic. Ellen you are beautiful and Scott you’re not half bad yourself.

Stop it Ellen. You look amazing.

Bradley pretty much wanted this session all to himself. He was so much fun to photograph. He has a personality all of his own.

After we dropped off Bradley at home, we took a trip to the new Atlanta BeltlLine. The Atlanta BeltLine uses an existing 22-mile historic railway that circles the City. Pedestrian friendly rail transit and 33 miles of multi-use trails will follow this corridor and branch off from it. Once completed, the Atlanta BeltLine will bring together 45 in-town neighborhoods and link them to the entire metropolitan Atlanta region.

Congratulations Scott and Ellen. Your wedding at the Old Edwards Inn was truly spectacular.
