Laughter-Filled Piedmont Park Engagement Session | Alli & Julian

There’s something contagious about being around a couple who can’t stop laughing together. Alli and Julian had that spark from the moment we met them at Piedmont Park. This wasn’t just an engagement session; it was a joyful afternoon that felt like watching two best friends fall in love over and over again.

From the very first frame, their energy was electric. No staged smiles here. Every laugh, every glance, every playful moment was 100% real. They have that rare kind of chemistry that draws you in and makes you feel like you’ve known them forever.

Why Piedmont Park Was the Perfect Setting

Piedmont Park is one of Atlanta’s most iconic engagement session locations for a reason. With its sweeping skyline views, lush greenery, and charming hidden corners, it’s a place where every turn offers a new backdrop for love stories. For Alli and Julian, the park became more than just a location, it was their playground.

We wandered through tree-lined paths, stopped to soak in the golden light by the lake, and found quiet moments beneath canopies of leaves. But no matter the setting, it was their laughter that became the true focal point of the day.

The Joy of Photographing Couples Who Embrace the Moment

There’s a certain beauty that happens when couples let go of the idea of “posing” and simply enjoy each other’s company. Alli and Julian danced in open fields, teased each other until they couldn’t breathe from laughing, and leaned into every little moment. It’s this kind of authenticity that turns an engagement session into something unforgettable.

The result? A collection of photographs that feel alive. A blend of candid, joy-filled moments and a few editorial portraits that still kept their playful spirit intact.

Piedmont Park, Atlanta GA Engagement | Jef & Sara Lynn

April 3, 2018 0 Engagements

A day at the park…Piedmont Park, Atlanta

Engagement sessions aren’t always easy for some couples. Some folks are camera shy or simply don’t enjoy being the center of attention in public. Thankfully just about all those people open up half way through a session when they see how much fun one of those shoots can be. Then you have couples with absolutely no inhibitions about letting loose in front of the lens. They could have a thousand eyes staring at them and they wouldn’t have a care in the world. Such was the case on a March afternoon when we caught up with Jef and Sara Lynn. This lovely pair are professional film, television, stage and voiceover actors. Jef has multiple 2018 TV roles in production and has worked on projects for Lifetime, OWN, Discovery, Audible and others. He is perhaps best known for his voiceover work with Scientific American and the New York Times. Sara also has various TV and film appearances including projects with NBC/Universal, HGTV, Lifetime. She is also a graduate of the distinguished Dell’Arte International. Currently they both run the Springer Film Institute based in Georgia. So, it’s easy to see how a couple of actors could make this shoot so fantastic. From the very start they were relaxed and up for any adventure as we navigated through Piedmont Park. Honestly though, the success of this photo session was truly based on their sincere love for each other. That was the star of the show. Mix in their wit and unique sense of humor and it was all we could do to keep up with them. This could have easily gone on for hours but unfortunately, we ran out of time. Thanks again Jef and Sara on such a wonderful afternoon!

We had so much fun with Jef and Sara Lynn at the park. They forgot we were even there.

Piedmont Park Atlanta GA Engagement | Kyrone + Chinyere

June 15, 2017 0 Engagements

It started…

In the Fall of 2007 Kyrone and Chinyere met through a mutual friend. Chinyere was not impressed after their introduction since their first conversation involved one of sarcasm and attitude. So with a shaky start, the two eventually started a friendship with their mutual involvement in African Student Union and seeing each other around campus. Two years would pass before they began dating and really know each other. The two became inseparable from that point on. They were engaged in 2015 at the Georgia Aquarium Since they both love the outdoors, Piedmont Park felt like the best place to showcase their engagement session and we couldn’t agree more.

Kyrone and Chinyere share both Nigerian and American heritage and chose to celebrate their marriage honoring both cultures. Their traditional Nigerian wedding was held on July 2, 2016 and in 2017 they will celebrate their US nuptials with a wedding at Twelve Atlantic Station. Congratulations! We can’t wait to document your US wedding.

They have so much fun together. It shows.

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.
