I had to begin with this photo because it’s one of my favorites Meredith and Patrick were good friends of mine during my early years at Georgia Tech, and I feel so blessed to have been a part of their wedding. The photo above was taken at Juniors, which is where they shared their first date. How sweet!

I am a big fan of classic style, so of course I loved Meredith’s dress. It was simple and elegant, and it suited her perfectly. I also love this photo I grabbed of the bridesmaids peeking in on Meredith’s progress. You can tell they’re all overflowing with joy.

Is this not one of the cutest things you’ve ever seen? Meredith’s grandmother is an expert at tying bows, but she can only do it from the front so she had to wrap her arms around Meredith’s waist. What a precious moment!

Meredith’s eyes looked stunning in every picture. They’re beautiful! And I love the way the wind is pulling at her dress in the second image.

Meet Patrick, Meredith’s lucky groom. He is such a gentleman and a sweetheart, and I could not be happier for the two of them.

It’s time to show off another favorite! While Meredith and Patrick prayed together during communion, Patrick placed a gentle hand around his bride’s waist. These sweet little flower girls decided they wanted to snuggle close, too, and the resulting image makes me smile every time I look at it.

The bride and groom rode to the reception together in a classic Rolls Royce.

When we arrived at Georgia Tech, I had a few moments alone with the bride and groom so that we could create some relaxed, romantic photos of them together. They interact so sweetly and naturally together. They were truly a joy to photograph.

The happy couple was going to leave through a path filled with bubbles, but the bubbles were left at the church so that family improvised and pulled some rose petals off of a few flower arrangements. I think the resulting image shows that their efforts were well worth it!

Congratulations, guys! I wish you two a lifetime of joy filled moments together. Thank you for inviting me to document your wonderful wedding.

Wow! What a crazy two weeks it has been since I last blogged. I’ve been doing some business house keeping this week, and I thought I should probably give you a little peek into what you have to look forward to over the next few weeks. First and foremost, I’M MARRIED NOW! Woo! So you’ll get to see lots of wedding photos, I promise! Anne did a fantastic job documenting our wedding, and I can’t wait to share her wonderful images with all of you. If you’d like to see a sneak preview of some of our photos, you can view her blog post here. And just because I’m in love with this photo, here’s one of my favorite portraits from the day:

A few days after I got home from the honeymoon, our fabulous cake designer Karol Sherling (aka the Queen of Confections) contacted me to ask if I’d photograph a very special cake that she had made the previous weekend. I was delighted to do it, especially when she showed up with this in her arms:

Yes, it’s all edible. Cake, icing, chocolate and fondant. Yum. And last but most CERTAINLY not least, last night I headed into Atlanta to photograph Nicole & Marc’s engagement session. Here’s one quick peek from their session:

Like I said, I’ll have a lot more updates soon, so stay tuned! It’s about to get really exciting around here!

I love my job. LOVE it! I have the opportunity to express my creativity and work with clients who inspire and encourage me. I get to travel to exotic places, and I get to see my work featured in print. God has been to good to me this year, and I couldn’t be more thankful to Him for all that He has done in and through me. The following are pages from I Do for Brides magazine’s Fall 2009 issue which features a collection of my images. The first spread is a cake feature which includes images from several weddings I shot in 2008 and 2009, including Edoardo and Christy, Jonathan and Lora, Chris and Danielle, Tj and Libby, Eric and Shannon, Ed and Amanda, Michael and Elizabeth, Matt and Lisa, Shane and Emily, and Ian and Jenna.

The second spread is a feature on the Governor’s House, where I photographed Amy and Gino’s wedding last summer.

2009 was quite an adventure, and I couldn’t be more excited to see what 2010 holds!
