10.11.10 Best of the Week Photo Contest

I am loving these blog photo contests. Thank you all for voting week after week. Congratulations to Jason and Jessica! Your photo won last week's "Best of the Week" photo contest. (Click the link to view).

Went to San Francisco this weekend- kindof an impromptu escapade when my camera broke. Don't we sometimes just need to get out of town? Especially when you get to see the Golden Gate Bridge.

Its always at the most inconvenient times that things [like camera's breaking when you are a photographer] happen. However, the world will keep spinning, my camera will be fixed [hopefully] by the end of the week, and I will be back on track. And a special thanks to Will helping me out with camera issues this week!!

Pictures and slideshow from Katie and Cody's wedding coming later this week. :)

New Best of the Week Photo Contest | Atlanta Wedding and Portrait Photography

September 20th? I cannot believe it. My Groupon deal came out 2 months ago. Time really does fly.

Thank you all for being so faithful in voting. I will continue to hold this "Best of the Week" photo contest every week, because I really value your feedback. What a journey this has been to photograph over 230 different groups of people in the past two months!
I also enjoy giving 'prizes' away each week ($10 print credit to Pictage) because doesn't it always feel good to win something? I am one of those people who never wins anything! :)

Whatever Monday morning means for you (extra coffee for me), I hope its a good one!

Courtney and Thorne. They have lived every Hollywood movie's fairytale. Thorne was the quarterback in high school and Courtney a cheerleader. The two have been dating since they knew what dating was, and are truly made for each other. 

I met Courtney through a good friend of mine who recommended me to her and we knew we were fit for each other from our initial meeting! 

Both Thorne and Courtney grew together in their years at UGA, and Thorne knew before Courtney that they were meant to be together. Courtney needed more time, as marriage is a big decision! Thorne was patient and he got the girl:) 

We did their engagement session last fall at North Campus at UGA. Their wedding took place Aug 7, 2010 in Greensboro GA. The day started at the Cuscowilla Golf and Country Club on Lake Oconee. Fantastic grounds, and a great place of relaxation before the big day. 

The ceremony was beautiful, as they exchanged their vows. Together FOREVER. 

The guests danced the night away at the picture perfect Higdon House. 

First Dance

The guests wished Courtney and Thorne a great marriage and a wonderful new beginning in NYC with sparklers! 
Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Thorne Brown! 

University of Georgia Engagement Shoot- Cody and Katie

Katie and Cody. You really don't meet couples like them everyday, that make you smile the E-N-T-I-R-E photo shoot. Their engagement session took place on North Campus, a gorgeous part of the University of Georgia with fountains, tall oak trees, and classical architecture. 

I met Katie in high school as we were both involved in the drama program and cast in the play Grease together.   

Cody and Katie met in college at UGA. Cody's dry sense of humor makes everyone at ease; Katie lights up when he looks at her.

They fell in love and are tying the knot at Park Tavern in Piedmont Park on September 24, 2010. 

I cannot wait to photograph their wedding in Atlanta! 

Please leave messages for Katie and Cody!

Monday morning. Even though I work most weekends, Monday mornings are still Monday mornings to me. Like most of you, I heard my alarm go off this morning and wished the clock would slow down so I couch catch some more zzz's.

Check list:

Camera

Extra Batteries

Strong Coffee

Blackberry

Keys

I quickly threw myself together this morning, 'to do' lists running through my head, and then I noticed: BAD HAIR DAY.  Do bad hair days always come on Mondays? 

Look at Laura's dark, beautiful hair. I shot her and her fiance, Brad, at my new favorite venue in Atlanta. It was fun shooting them and hear their excitement about starting a life together. 

Click here to read more about this hidden venue in the heart of Atlanta.  

So here's to starting the week right, strong coffee, and people with beautiful hair!

Isn't she precious? Arden has such beautiful blonde hair.  

And a blonde-haired baby doll to match! 

Tanner and Margaret -Engagement

I've been jumping to blog this engagement since I took the last shot back in December.... so I am super excited to be sharing it with you today.

Tanner and Margaret are one of those couples. You know, the kind that are so in love with each other that just being around them makes you giddy and smiley.. yet they never exclude their company and find some way to make everyone around them feel as just as loved and appreciated. I love them. Really. They were so gracious to put me up in their Tybee Island home for a few days while I came to relax and take their engagement photos! I love every single photo that we took that day, December on Tybee gives the most gorgeous light (making me even more excited for their December 2010 wedding!) Thanks guys for a great time, consider your love now shared with the entire internet world :)

He proposed on the beach with his guitar, so this was only appropriate

Yummy sunset colors of the marsh... this would be behind their house. Jealous.

A lot of our time was spent laughing, Tanner is quite hilarious

LOVE the gorgeous sunset that way given to us... and yeah, they see it every night.

And My favorite from the day because it shows every cranny of their personality...
