Lauren+Tyler are an awesome couple! I loved their venu at The Ventanas. It had stunning views of Atlanta and a roof top with a helipad, which we were allowed to use for photos. Their wedding was very elegant with a hint of fun. Lauren loves Disney, and even had a job playing characters at Disney World! Now she’s attending law school. For the wedding to better represent them as a couple there were added touches of Disney for Lauren and several comic book super-heroes for Tyler! ellyB Events did an amazing job helping L+T’s dream wedding come together. Also I was in love with all the flowers! Jacki, of Stylish Stems, incorporated some awe inspiring succulents with a little blue and silver in the flowers, complementing the wedding colors beautifully. It was all around a fabulous wedding! I was honored to document such a sweet couple and such talented vendors.

Superhero cake pops and homemade jams for the guest!

Lauren and Tyler love the Disney movie UP. His boutonniere had the grape soda cap pin. For their guest sign in they did balloon thumb prints!

I love that you can tell he’s smiling in this photo!

Tyler gave all his guys superhero socks. Here they all are acting out their heros! I want to thank Trent, my second shooter for being so awesome and getting shots like this!!!

I loved when Lauren’s mom walked her down the isle half way. Then Tyler met them and then walked her the other half. It was very sweet.

I met Jennifer and Josh over a year ago at the Atlanta Bridal Show and I was so happy when they decided to book me for their special day! They ended up having two engagement sessions in different locations with different looks. I thought this was a great idea because you can’t have too many amazing photos of just the two of you together. These two actually dated a long long time ago and things didn’t work out at the time. Years later when they both had changed careers and grown on their own they happened to fall into each others lives again and could not be separated. The love they have now is stronger than ever! I was so honored to document some of their love story. Please enjoy some of the photos from their wedding at Roswell Founders Hall. Also a special thanks to my second shooter, Trent Chau!

Confortable flip flops and a breathtaking necklace and bracelet for the Bridesmaids gift!

Jennifers gift to Josh. My mom actually gave us these books at our wedding! Here is one of the tips, “Don’t think it’s beneath you to put your husband’s slippers ready for him. On a cold evening, especially, it makes all the difference to his comfort if the soles are warmed through.” Haha Does that mean we’re suppose to wear them first to warm them up?!

Stunning Jimmy Choo Shoes and clutch to die for!

Gifts J+J got each other the day of.

Daddy daughter first look. He was laughing because he said we paid all that money for those shoes and we can’t even see them! He was just trying to get her to smile.

Jennifer+Josh chose not to see each other before the wedding but they did want a photo where they were both in it!

Lights, Camera, Action! This wedding was one of a kind. I met the groom, Jason, years ago in high school on the drumline. That’s right, I played bass drum. I don’t remember ever being very good, but my old friends begged to differ last weekend which surprised me. I then went to UA and was in colorguard. Jason was one of the only people I knew when arriving in Alabama and we became best friends and then roommates! We had epic costume themed parties. For example, tin foil theme, what you want to be when you grow up theme, super hero vs villain theme! Theme parties were our forté, so it only made sense that his wedding would be the biggest theme party ever.

Jason and Rebekka gathered their all time favorite movies and incorporated them in to their special day. Jason and his best man were dressed as Dumb and Dumber and his other groomsmen were dressed like the Big Lebowski. Rebekka dressed traditionally which they explained in a homemade movie before the wedding started on the big screen! All of her bridesmaids/man dressed as Harry Potter characters, the ring bearers were dressed as the Three Amigos, and all guest were invited to dress up as well! Jason and Rebekka had been taking dance lessons months before the wedding so they could preform the actual Dirty Dancing dance. They even pulled off the lift at the end! Rebekkas sister made both of the stunning cakes from scratch! There was movie trivia, an epic ice cream bar, and movie clips playing all night. They thought of it all! This was truly a wedding to never forget. I can’t express how happy I am for these two to live happily ever after!

I took a gamble getting the kiss from this angle. It would have been perfect if I had stollen that hat

Jason is a graphic designer so he photoshopped his wedding party in to their favorite movie posters!

Each table was decorated with a different movie theme and fresh popcorn!

They had an ah-mazing ice cream bar!

Movie Trivia Quizes and door prizes were given out!

No one puts Baby in the corner!

Bryant djed the wedding! We dressed as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum! Here we are taking a break to dance to his sweet tunes!

Today is a big day for me! I have decided to offer a Living Social/Amazon Local Ad. The deal I’m offering is more about the experience of doing something you’ve never done, being free, and feeling beautiful! I’m looking for women that want to show a side of themselves not often seen. Have  professional photos taken to preserve your stunning body as it is now.

I was surprised when I got a message asking to photograph, up and coming artist, St Paul and The Broken Bones for their new EP. I met them before their sold out show at WorkPlay to take a few shots of the group. I will say that photographing six guys is pretty challenging, haha. I was lucky enough to be put on the guest list for the show too. Their performance blew me away! I was honored by the invitation to capture such a strong band with such soul. Paul really sings with his heart and convinces his listeners from the stage, letting the music move him. Be sure to check out their incredible live show if they are playing near you! These dreamy dudes are going to make it big so let’s support them along the way.

This is when I asked Paul to sing his highest note, hehe.

Becky & Matt had mutual friends who tried to get them to meet several times throughout the years. It wasn’t until their friends made them both godparents of their new daughter that they finally met at the christening. Soon after they fell in love and knew they were meant for each other. They were engaged a year later and are now married! They are the sweetest couple who would do anything for each other. I love my job and learning each couple’s love story. This was truly a unique one.

A touching smile from Matts grandmother letting him know how happy she is for him.

love seeing Becky and her father peeking into the wedding before it starts!

Happy St Patty’s weekend! My husband and I, plus my best friend, and several family members went to Ireland last October. It is one of my absolute favorite places to visit, though I may be a bit biased. I gained an appreciation for my Irish heritage when I started Irish step dancing at age 10. Also while studying at the Brooks Institue I spent 2 months in Ireland working on a documentary project with 12 other photographers. At the culmination of the project, we created a DVD, gallery exhibit, book, and website. I was actually the one who designed and created our Website. Feel free to take a moment and check it out, there’s some really stunning work.

Ireland is truly a magical place! The people are so friendly and the beauty is overwhelming. Ali and I decided to take some Irish inspired portraits. She wore a gold headband and a green dress from Anthropology. She also wrapped herself in a knitted shawl my mom made all my bridesmaids for my wedding. We literally just pulled over on the side of the road where we found some abandoned ruins. We were welcomed by the cutest donkeys who also wanted to have their photos taken. Our session was short but sweet due to the chill breeze but I think we really got some great shots. If any of you ladies are thinking about a destination wedding, the summers are stunning in Ireland! Just make sure you contact me about coming with you

Check out my Irish feature on Glamour and Grace’s Blog today! Also here are a few Gaelic words you can throw out there this Irish weekend.

Éirinn go Brách (Erin Go Bragh) ~ Ireland forever
Sláinte (slahn-chə) ~ Good Health : Commonly used as a drinking toast
Gráím thú (Graw-im hoo) ~ I love You

An Irish Blessing: May your troubles be less and your blessings be more.
And nothing but happiness come through your door.
