North Georgia Mountain Wedding – Young Harris, GA – Photography

March 31st, 2011

I had the incredible opportunity to photograph my first mountain wedding. The weather was incredible. The temperature was perfect and there was a perfect blanket of clouds (which photographers know as the perfect diffuser). Jane and Chris were naturals in front of the camera. Either that or they were so in love and couldn’t stop oozing “togetherness-perfection” in front of me. Here is their story…

Mindy’s & Stuart’s Wedding – Westin Perimeter – Atlanta, GA

September 9th, 2010

I was so lucky to have the honor of photographing Mindy’s & Stuart’s wedding. Every wedding is very special to me and I end up feeling so very connected to the bride and groom. I can honestly say that my world has been enriched after witnessing the love between these 2. And since I was told by a little bird that they were seriously considering eloping, I must say that I am happy they didn’t. After all was said and done, I can say with great confidence that they had a GRAND time, for the last words Mindy spoke to me before I left was, “I am so happy.” And when you see the smiles on both their faces in the following pictures, I am certain you will agree that they had the time of their lives that night. “More Patron, please!”

I wish I could have included all of the beautiful faces at their wedding in this post but there were so many. In order to see the rest of the images, click on the following link and you will be taken to the full gallery and shopping cart. All images are available for purchase as prints, digital files, canvases and framing. If you are interested in a brag book or album, please contact me for special pricing.

Kristy’s & Alex’s Wedding – Destination Wedding in Napa Valley, CA

July 15th, 2010

What a stinking blast! I feel so fortunate to have been witness to this heartwarming , sunny, magical trip. There was wine flowing from the tap…we all had red stained teeth. Kristy’s and Alex’s family and friends flew from all over the country and all over the world to be here to celebrate with them on this occasion … Ashoke won “Furthest Traveled,” coming from Mumbai – Way to go, Ashoke! It was a week of fun and laughter. I cherish the memories and all the people I met. You all make my feelings fuzzy and my smile ache. The scenery was totally sick (an Alex-ism used as a synonym for “super” or “terrific”) and the friends and family were total visual gluttony. Enjoy the following – Kristy’s & Alex’s wedding day story book.
