Prince Charming and his bride; that's all I kept saying to myself as I looked over these images after editing. Everything about these lovebirds remind me of a modern day fairy tale! I can't get over how absolutely in love and happy these two are. Their Wednesday afternoon courthouse wedding was embraced with such love as they were surrounded by the ones who mean the most to them while they said "I do" in courtroom 1H in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
I was a tad nervous going into the courthouse that afternoon as I had never shot a courthouse wedding before but I had a clear idea of how I wanted my images to turn out so I garnered my inner photojournalist and went back to my roots to "document" their emotions on this monumental day. Thank you Joe and Kylee for letting me be a part of your big day!

David and Sarah are one of the sweetest couples I have worked with. They are so in love and it shows all over their pictures! I met these cuties through one of my best friends whose wedding I am in this coming November, Sarah is the sister of that bride. I acted as many photographers would and jumped right on asking Sarah about her wedding photographer while we were dress shopping together. Once Sarah checked out my photography she was so excited to book her wedding and engagement with me and I couldn't have been happier to be there to capture those special memories with someone who has become a friend of mine, not just a client.
David and Sarah love being outdoors and enjoy everything wooded and lake/river related. I knew the perfect location for their session would be down by the Chattahoochee River in Roswell, Ga. The sunset was so beautiful as it lit up the love between these two, I can't wait for their dreamy wooded wedding next month! Wow! It's already been three years since I started my photography business. It has been challenging, hard work, time consuming and stressful but I wouldn't take any of it back. I started my business with an idea in my head as to what I wanted it to be but I knew I had a long road ahead of me. I knew that I needed to improve my skills, improve my equipment and I honestly knew very little about running a successful photography business, there's still plenty for me to learn too. One of the wonderful aspects of being a photographer is the technology and techniques associated with this business are constantly improving and changing which forces me out of my comfort zone on a weekly basis. It's for this reason that I have evolved so much from where I was three years ago and it blows my mind to go through my old images and see where I am at now.
Enough about me, I need to get to the real star of my success- YOU! I wouldn't have a backdrop to stand on (do you see what I did there ;)?!?!?) without my absolutely amazing clients that allow me to create the images I see in my head and encourage me to go beyond my limits. My hat goes off to you, amazing clients, keep the business coming and I will continue to put forth images that push me and wow you. Peace and love, XO It's a funny story how I met these two. I was standing in line at Petco when I met Allen and he was so handsome that I gave him my information to set up a modeling shoot with me to build his portfolio. About two or three weeks went by when I received a text message from his fiancée, Laura.
Allen and Laura have been together for 10 years, they met in college while he was playing football and got engaged three years later. If you did that math right then that is a seven year engagement, it was high time they finally took their engagement pictures and I am so happy that they chose me to share that afternoon with. When I was editing these pictures I couldn't help but smile because the love between them truly showed throughout every picture. Ashlyn is the bubbliest and enthusiastic little girl! She is an absolute dream for our photo sessions and loves being in the spotlight. Ashlyns mom started her in natural pageants this year and Ashlyn took home a crown almost everytime, that is one determined and talented girl! Every year for the past 3 years Ashlyns mom and I plan out her birthday photo session and it is such a blast putting the ideas and looks together for her session with me.
I love photographing the same children every year because I get to grow up with them and watch them evolve through my photos, its amazing to see the difference between each year. I have also noticed how my own photography skills and editing skills have changed over the past several years, I can even tell how they have changed the past several months. Change is good, change is working towards a better me, change is evolving my business and allowing me to grow. I love seeing the change in me as I do in my clients! |
