Leigh and Mike

We love destination weddings because they give us the opportunity to shoot at some great new places. As a thank you to the bride and groom for taking us with them, they purchase only what they have photographed on the day of the wedding and then we shoot any extra events such as rehearsal dinners, brunches, etc. at no charge. For Leigh and Mike's wedding, this gave us a wonderful weekend in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina and lots of extra time to get to know them and their families better. Leigh and Mike's wedding was special because it took place at Leigh's godparents' bed and breakfast, The Hawk and Ivy. Leigh is also a photographer and asked us to get creative with their wedding photos and really think outside the box. We hope these pictures are everything she imagined.

Shelley & Corey

At the end of August, I got the opportunity to photograph the wedding of two friends, Shelley and Corey, at Peachtree Presbyterian Church. Though the church is strict on not allowing photographers in the ceremony, unless we're up in the balcony, I was able to grab a few shots through the millimeter wide crack in the doors with an amazing new lens I just purchased. Thanks to Josh for catching some other great shots from up top!

After the wedding, the two partied at one of my favorite Atlanta venues, Ventanas, which is Spanish for "windows" and when you see the photos you'll understand why. This couple has some of the most fun friends we've ever met and we truly wish we could do this wedding over again and simply go as guests because, thanks to Travis of Fonix Entertainment, he had them dancing late into the night. Thanks to Corey and Shelley for letting me convince you to leave the party for a few skyline shots at night on top of the helipad. They turned out to be some of my favorites!
