Gabrielle + Phanna / Downtown Decatur & Roswell Mill Engagement Portraits

Gabrielle + Phanna / Downtown Decatur & Roswell Mill Engagement Portraits

So, is the world big or small?  Because there's a saying, "It's a big world out there" and then people say, "It's a small world..." So, which is it?  ;)  Well, for this story, it's a small world.  We got referred to Gabby + Phanna from one of other brides and then when they came to the shoot, they told us another crazy story!

Perfection.  What does that really mean?  If it doesn't exist as people claim, then how does the definition of it exist?  In my opinion, perfection is real.... it's just about perspective.  Looking through these photos once again, I remember this day so clearly because it was perfect.

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.

One of the most common questions we get is, "How do you get your clients?"  We meet them through many different ways, but one of the ways is at weddings!  We meet at least one engaged couple who is very interested in our photography and we book them!  And yes, this is how I met Kyle for the first time!

I believe that everything happens for a reason.  That nothing is just a coincidence.  Even with our clients, I know that it's more than "just business".  There's more of a reason than just because they booked us.  I know because I believe in a God who is far bigger than that, and I believe that he has everything under control.  

Sara + Corey / Warehouse Engagement Portraits

Sara + Corey / Warehouse Engagement Portraits

Every shoot is special to us, but we got to do something very rare with Sara + Corey, and actually, this is the first time we've ever done this with a couple.  CAR POOL!  We picked them up from their place and drove a little over 2 hours to Lindale Mill in Rome, GA.

It's so cool how we have a unique story to tell for every shoot that we do.  Through these stories, we remember all of our couples.  We shoot about 40 weddings a year (give or take about 5) and  about 50 portraits sessions and other gigs. That's a lot!  

Stephanie + Sydney / Sunflowers & Sunsets Engagement

Stephanie + Sydney / Sunflowers & Sunsets Engagement

Got up early this morning because I know it's going to be a good day. Why?  Because it's Stephanie + Sydney's wedding day!  We are throwing it back to their engagement session from last fall and just reminiscing on how fun that day was.  You see that cute photo above?  Yeah.... they're as cute as the pic; actually, they're even cuter.  :)  

Christine + Eugene / Old Factory Engagement

Christine + Eugene / Old Factory Engagement

How do we know Christine + Eugene, you ask?  She's the sister of a friend of a friend of a brother and sister's husband.  LOL  Just kidding... but really, she's my friend's sister-in-law. :)  Our friend referred Christine to us, and it meant so much... Getting new clients through a referral is still the most fulfilling way of growing our business.

It's still kinda crazy to me that some of our clients either fly here or fly us to their location for shoots.  This October marks 10 years of our business which is just crazy wild to believe.  I look back and sometimes it's all a blur because everything happened so fast, but then again, I remember every detail of the journey.
