Another Sneak Peek: Cathy & Danny!

Look familiar? Danny and Cathy were also married in the Piedmont Meadow, with their reception following in the Garden Tent.
It was a romatic evening ceremony with plenty of fun to enjoy in celebration of the couple.

Sorry this one is a little dark, but everyone was enjoying the food- they had a carving station, a sushi station, as well as a mashed potato bar- a huge hit!

I'll be sure to share some new pictures when I get them in a couple of weeks!

A Sneak Peek of Marva & Pascal's Soiree!

Marva and Pascal had an incredible wedding day, and I just wanted to stare two of the pictures I was able to snap quickly.

They were married in an evening ceremony in the meadow just outside of the Piedmont Garden Tent. It was a beautiful ceremony!Following the ceremony, guests made their way into the reception in the tent. The decor was provided by Carla Duncan of On Occasions of Atlanta.


I'll be sure to post some more pictures when I get them from the photographer, Gene Ho.

Who's RSVP is it anyway?

After the excitement of getting your invite in the mail, so many reply almost immediately! How exciting right? So you open up your self-addressed (and stamped) envelope to check out the RSVP. Uh-Oh! They forgot to write their name, so you know that 2 people are coming, but you have no idea who they are! Want an easy fix for this? Here's my easy, inexpensive, and best of all invisible solution.

1)I suggest that you head to a craft store and pick up a pack of Crayola Changeables markers.2) Print out a copy of your invite list and start numbering them. (1, 2, 3...) You can also just save the numbers on your spreadsheet where you'll be keeping track of the RSVPs!

3) On the back of the response cards, use the clear, color-changing marker to number it, corresponding to the number on your invite list. Write the number in the same place on every card so you'll remember where to look for the invisible ink!4) Send the invites and stalk the mailbox!

5) If you happen to get an RSVP where the guest forgot to write their name, turn the card over and use one of the Changeable colored markers to highlight that area. You'll see the number in a matter of seconds, and you'll be able to look them up on the list!

Voila! No last minute phone calls or looking through old letters or cards to determine who's handwriting it is!

Vendor Spotlight: Shannon Wright

Shannon Wright is one of my favorite photographers to work with. We've worked together so many times that I know that brides are in good hands with her. She is able to capture every emotion of each bride's wedding day. I can't wait to work with her again!

I was able to catch up with her and ask some questions so we can all know her just a little bit better:)

So what first inspired you to be a wedding photographer? I was in school at the time and assisted a wedding photographer and knew (even though I was just carrying equipment) that's what I had to do!

What keeps you coming back? My desire to be a part of couples happiest days and well I just absolutely love photography.

What is your favorite picture to take? Hmm, tough question I guess my fave would be the one I take at he reception in a dark place lit with intense light. It's a very funky shot!

If you had to provide one picture to win a client, what would it be and why?? How about two? I love shoes and it's kinda of a signature shot and I just love this one at Piedmont! If I have extra time to do creative formals this is what I can produce!
If you had one word of advice for future brides, what would it be? Don’t forget how and why you fell in love in the first place…… The wedding day does not have to be perfect but your life together just might be…..

What is Project 42 and how is it going? Wanna share a picture or 2? Project 42 stands for Love (4 letters) Is(2 letters).... This session is for couples that are already married. The idea is .....what does love mean to you? Let me capture that for you in pictures to show others. The picture I am going to share has to do with their love for their children. We went to Piedmont Park and had a great time. It is obvious in this picture that they love each other, and their children, very much.What a great photographer to have capturing your wedding day. Book her early!

Chrissy & Andy's Unforgettable Soiree!

Chrissy and Andy were one of my most fun couples. Within five minutes of starting our first meeting, I could see how in love they were, and see that they just wanted to enjoy their wedding day.

The day started with me meeting Chrissy and her bridal party in a suite at The Georgian Terrace Hotel. They had two hair stylists working on location, as well as Laura Simon, a great new makeup artist in the Atlanta area. Just take a look at the picture below to see how great of a job she did!
To get in touch with her, try e-mailing her: laurasimonmakeup@gmail.com.

The fabulous Shannon Wright was her photographer, and it is thanks to her that I have all of these pictures!

After getting ready, they were able to sneak some pictures in at The Georgian Terrace before moving to the church.
Chrissy and Andy decided to see each other before the ceremony, to be able to take some pictures. They really got some great shots!Following the ceremony, we moved over to the GA Tech Alumni House. The reception was catered by one of my new favorite vendors, Wild Oats Catering.

Before heading to hotel for the night, they snapped a really cool picture ON 10th St.

Update yo!

Update: I've been busy so not many post lately, and i'm on a little bit of a blog strike. What is up people??? I mean I'm given you quality reading here. I delivered a freakin' baby! What more do you want?? Can a girl get some comments? No pity comments please ;) but in the future, feedback is wonderful. Just sayin'.

Quick: If you've been following twitter over there on the side, the patient in DIC the other night, thanks to some amazing doctors....doing much better and in stable condition. Thank God for truly talented physicians and the opportunity i have to learn from them.

Note: Names and places of any information that I post have been changed to protect the innocent. Babies that I get to see and share with you, have a new name in my mind so no identifying info for you, sorry :) *don't want to be thrown in hi-ppahh jail.

Currently: Staying up late to keep from jackin' up my sleep schedule as I am working nights on labor&delivery this week and tonight is my night off.

Found: This is truly incredible. I can't even explain so just watch....






i never would have thought someone could sing this song as well as whitney....i will always love you.
