hello atlanta: stefanie + brendon!

hitting the streets in hotlanta.


stefanie + brendon.

i came down to the atlanta yesterday to meet with stefanie + brendon who are getting married next year! i love to sit down with all my clients before we make the final decision to work together, even if it means taking a 10-hour drive down the coast! hee! actually it worked out great since i was planning a roadtrip and was happy to detour in the infamous hotlanta! i’m so glad i got to meet up with them in their new city and hang out with them last night! we met in midtown for a drink and then went to dinner at the amazing TWO urban licks – a very hot restaurant in a renovated warehouse with incredible atmosphere and great food! i had the best time: stefanie + brendon are a truly a fabulous couple and i’m so excited to shoot their wedding next august! i snapped a few super quick pics as we were grabbing a cab – they are so cute! i’m loving atlanta, but i’m off this morning to sunny florida – ciao!

zeba + ted: engaged!

a capitol love.

zeba + ted are getting married! i had such a fun afternoon with these two as we ran around the city taking photos and having a great time. ted is a capitol hill police officer, so we started our session at the capitol building where we explored the gorgeous interior of the building with no one else around! it’s been a long time since i’ve shot on the hill and it was really neat to get a private tour of the capitol and hear all the history and stories from ted – i learned so much! afterwards, we headed over to logan circle and explored the neighborhood where we sought out some great urban shots with my favorite graffiti in the city.

i loved spending time with zeba + ted and i can’t wait until their wedding in november! the fabulous alex pare of cherry blossom events is coordinating everything and it’s going to be fabulous! i’m so happy alex introduced us – this is one great couple!

now, enjoy!

matty: lifestyle session.

a rope swing, a giant sunflower, and the many faces of matty.

matty is awesome. from the moment we met he was super flirty (aren’t all little boys?) and loved the attention of my camera. i had no problem making him laugh and catching him being happy + silly, he has a wonderful family and a very happy, fun life :)

i loved chasing matty around his yard, watching him swing on the rope swing and hearing his funny stories – he cracked me up! his parents joined in the shoot for a few fun family photos and i was able to capture some interaction between matty and the baby growing in his mommy’s belly – she’s expecting in just a few months and matty already loves the baby and i can’t wait to come back and see the whole family together! 

enjoy!

  

the whole family!

 

 

matty is so excited to be a big brother! 

gorgeous mama!

and the rest of the family…the kitties!

sydney + tucker: lifestyle session.

backyard adventure!

last week i drove up to new jersey for lifestyle sessions with two great families: both moms have babies on the way and i bounced back and forth shooting fun candid images of these happy neighbors and their beautiful families!

i started at sydney + tucker’s house: they have a great backyard with lots of gorgeous trees, an amazing swingset, and lots of room to run around! these two have so much energy and love to have fun, especially tucker! he is a boy on the move! they are both very excited about the new baby that is on the way and their mom, jen, is absolutely glowing! 

at the end of the day i was able to get jen alone for a few quick shots – she’s so beautiful and i know this baby is going be gorgeous!

tina + gerard: married!

one classy couple.

i had the most wonderful time at tina + gerard’s wedding! the entire day was perfect, from the morning appointment at PR at Partners where tina was styled, to the fun getting ready time at the Westin with family + the bridal party! tina was super calm and composed while gerard was super excited – they are such a perfect match! it was a gorgeous (almost fall!) day and we walked around the courthouse area getting fun photos before the evening ceremony…

as guests filed into the ceremony they were serenaded by classic music and the bridal party led the way down the aisle where gerard was anxiously anticipating his bride. tina came down the aisle with her father and i loved the expression on gerard’s face. they were all smiles after they tied the knot and were immediately embraced by their family + friends – hugging, congratulating, and lots of photo taking ensued! 

after the amazing cocktail reception tina + gerard entered the ballroom and danced together gracefully as husband and wife… i really enjoyed watching them all evening, they were so blissful and exuded such class as they floated around the room chatting with their guests, posing for photos with all their excited relatives, and kissing every time the clinking of the glasses encouraged them to do so…

tina + gerard: thank you. thank you for choosing me to document your day, thank you for trusting me with preserving your memories, and thank you for welcoming me into your lives and your family on your wedding day – i had an absolutely wonderful time.

now go enjoy aruba! bon voyage newlyweds!!
