Year in Review - 2012 Weddings ~ Atlanta Wedding Photographer

2012 - WHAT A YEAR!! In 2012 -  I shot 11 weddings, second shot 8 weddings, shot and helped plan 1 elopement, attended 1 wedding as a guest, and was in one wedding as a bridesmaids for a total of 22 weddings that I was actively involved in. I was also fortunate to be featured on multiple blogs including Style Me Pretty & Occasions Magazine.  I don't know how wedding photographers do 30-40 weddings a year - I guess they just don't spend as much time getting to know their clients like I do. I LOVE my peach blossom brides and I love getting to help add to the experience of their special day. I'm just coming down off the high of my last wedding which was 12/29. I'm excited to have a couple weeks downtime before my 2013 year kicks off in Key West in February with a wedding planned by Kelly at JUST SAVE THE DATE.

 

Below are our friends Kasia & Alex tying the knot at the Jekyll Island Club!  We had such a great time celebrating with them!

 

Below is a picture of me as a bridesmaid at my best friend Jess's wedding this past April at the Decatur History Center!  Cat did such a good job capturing the day!

I must really love the kissing pictures because I sure picked a lot of them to share! Thanks to everyone for making my year so special... I am looking forward to a brand new year with a brand new set of amazing couples!!! CHEERS To 2013... wait until you see what I have in store!

Emma & Reid's Charleston E-Session ~ Charleston Wedding Photography

The last weekend of October, Brent and I got to spend the weekend photographing a wedding and engagement session in beautiful Charleston. Emma and Reid chose The Battery and College of Charleston as their e-session backdrops. Having met at the College of Charleston, it was only location that would work for them! The weather was perfect and we had such a fun morning. We are looking forward to their June wedding in Atlanta! 

 

Jennifer & William's White Columns Wedding ~ Milton Wedding Photographer

Jennifer & William had a beautiful summer wedding at White Columns Country Club. Despite a little July rain, the two of them had a lovely outdoor ceremony followed by a lively reception. The lime green and pink color scheme really popped against the backdrop. Jennifer - another pinterest addict - had a lot of beautiful details. My favorites included their fingerprint tree guest book and their fabulous & colorful glow stick exit...

Aubry & Jeremy's Peachy Anniversary ~ Fayette Wedding Photographer

Last June I had the pleasure of photographing Aubry and Jeremy's wedding at Dunaway Gardens. They decided to do a first year anniversary session. We decided on doing a first anniversary inspiration session which takes Brides & Grooms back to the places that either inspired their wedding or the places where their wedding was held. It is a great way to bring back memories of the wedding and all the planning that went into it. Aubry and Jeremy asked me to do their 1 year anniversary session at Gregg's Peach Farm in Concord, Georgia. Gregg's Farm is a few miles from their home and is a place they frequent in the summer when Peaches are in Season. It was the major inspiration for their Peach Themed Wedding! Aubry's colors were Peach & Blue with pops of green. As a wedding favor, the Storms had peaches for their friends and family to take home. We used the same buckets as props that held the peaches they gifted last year. At their wedding they also had Sweet Tea (the preferred drink in the South) so we wanted to include it somehow into the session. We decided to create a peach stand in the middle of peach farm that sold peaches, sweet tea, and peach ice cream. I brought along my mason jar mugs, glass pitcher, and straws to help create a fun little stand. Gregg's farm is known for its yummy homemade peach ice-cream so we had to include it too! It was a warm summer day but so much fun! The 1st anniversary gift tradition is paper.Why not do a fun anniversary shoot and then make it into a book to remember it all by??

Claire & Scott's Opelika engagement session ~ Alabama Wedding Photographer

I met Claire and Scott in the Historic District of Opelika on what seemed to be the hottest day of summer. Engagement sessions to me are the best because I really get to spend some quality time getting to know the bride and groom. However, we all agreed to keep this session really short! In just 30 short minutes, we wrapped up their session but it only takes a minute or two to see how these two adore each other. Being able to capture two people in love with all their happiness and emotion is truly the best part of my job! Plus getting to hang out with lots of awesome clients...

Doesn't Scott's profile and smile look very similar to that of Ryan Gosling's?

I'm looking forward to their August Wedding at Fox Hall Sporting Club! It's going to be a fun one for sure!
