Atlanta Wedding Photographer | Cody and Katie's Piedmont Park Wedding | Park Tavern

Congratulations Katie and Cody Chapman! Check out the slideshow HERE.
One of the most beautiful weddings I've had the privilege of capturing. Cody and Katie are an absolutely beautiful couple. I know Katie from high school, as we sang and danced together through the broadway show Grease! My 'beauty school drop out' singing talent will merit itself another post, but I digress. The wedding took place on September 24th at Park Tavern in Atlanta, Georgia. Park Tavern is appropriately named as it sits on the edge of Piedmont Park; the most beautiful skyline views can be seen from the venue, and often at dusk the entire skyline seems to sparkle. Katie's gorgeously timeless lace dress was from David's Bridal and her flowers designed by Island Flowers Atlanta, GA. Special thank you to them for really creating exactly what she wanted! The bridal party was also dressed in David's Bridal dresses. 
Katie and Cody met at the University of Georgia, and cody's dry sense of humor makes everyone at ease; Katie just lights up when he looks at her. The evening was filled with wining and dining, and DANCING. Tunes played through the night and these two got down! Check out the picture of Katie doing the robot with her bridesmaids-one of my favorite shots I captured.
Best wishes to you both as you start on this new journey together~ 


And as always, thanks for choosing Sarah Esther Photography. 

Sarah Esther Photography | Brad and Laura's Beautiful Wedding Celebration at Lake Lanier Island Resort

September 18, 2010, I had the privilege of photographing the wedding between Laura and Brad Birney. What a blessed day!

Click HERE to watch the slideshow of the images from their special day.

Their love for each other radiates. They said their vows at the Lake Lanier Island Resort on the beautiful Venetian Pier overlooking the water. Laura's brides maids helped her into her Demetrios dress and she was one of the most relaxed brides I have ever photographed. She knew at the end of the day she would be married to man of her dreams and that was all that mattered! The day was a little hotter than expected, but Laura was all smiles.

Getting Ready in her beautiful dress (designed by Demetrios). 

The Two Become One

Ladies and Gentlemen- introducing Mr. and Mrs. Brad Birney!

Their love for each other just radiates!

Brad's friends love Laura and they made her night with their charm, singing and dancing.

Brad's friends also kept the guests entertained.

 How wonderful to see two people meet, fall in love, and promise to spend the rest of their lives together. Brad loves Laura deeply and she respects him as a great man of character. Their wedding was beautiful in every way and sparklers were a perfect way for the guests to send them off! 

And off they go in a '67 Ford Mustang.

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!

Weekend recap: I had the privilege of photographing the gorgeous wedding of Laura and Brad up at Lake Lanier. Loved EVERY MINUTE OF IT. Laura was stunning, venue=perfection, and watching them say their vows overlooking the lake was such a joy.  Slideshow and pictures coming later this week!

Sarah Esther Wedding Photography | Congratulations Courtney and Thorne!

Click to view the Slideshow! 

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!
