When Spring is here and flowers begin to bloom, so does love… It’s love’s peak season, and we are so happy to show off another beautiful couple to you all! Randi + Jack came into town for their engagement portraits, and we were a bit concerned because of the rain and had to make a few minor adjustments, but it all worked out in the end!

Where do I even begin with this blog post…? Do I begin by telling you guys how long we’ve known our bride? Or, by telling you how stunning our bride looked on her wedding day? Or, how impressed I was on how our couple handled the fact that it just down poured right when their ceremony was about to start and stopped right after?

These days, we have been watching movies with our kids that are inspirational true stories on athletes that have overcome the impossible. I love seeing how it impacts our kids and even if it’s a little, I want them to see what “not quitting” looks like and that they can do the same thing or something even greater.

This week as we were all settling down from our kids going to school and getting adjusted to the new schedule, we had a few serious talks with our kids. The moral of the conversation was this… that we all have our own journey in life.

Ten years…. an entire decade. I remember when we reached this milestone. It was a big deal because it is! I absolutely love celebrating special milestones, and I love people who do the same. You should never just let it pass by. Yes, life does fly by because in our society, we all live our lives too busy.

There’s just something about New Year’s Eve… sometimes I don’t know how to think of it. It’s so bitter sweet, you know? It’s exciting that a brand new year is coming, but then again it’s sad that another year has passed. There’s so much hope in the new year and then there are regrets from the old.

Gosh… some people are just adorable. Some people just have the gift of making you feel “at home” the moment you encounter them. It’s truly a gift, and Leah + Kevin have it! I just love people that make you feel comfortable… being a wedding photographer, I feel that photography in itself is actually a very small part of the business.

For Mimi + John's session, we got to see them not once, but twice!  They had a special engagement ceremony in Augusta back in May and so we did some portraits for them there, and then this month, they came up to Atlanta to get some city shots here.

There's something special and unique we remember from every wedding we have shot, but I must say that Stephanie + Sydney's tops them all!  At that very moment, it was stressful and many decisions had to be made quickly, but you know what?  Everything worked out... in fact, it worked out so great that I think every wedding should be like this!!

As you can imagine, what we do is heavily dependent upon the weather... One of our morning rituals is to check the hourly, daily and the weekly forecast.  If there's any chance of rain or other bad weather that could affect our portrait sessions, we contact our clients with our concern immediately to communicate what other options can be.  But, how many of you know that Mr. Weatherman can be wrong sometimes?
