Cara Leigh and Tim

Cara Leigh and Tim were married a few weekends ago at Berry. What a wonderful day it was. They are such a great couple and currently live in Savannah. Tim is an Army Ranger and their relationship has been a constant of saying goodbye. We were so happy to hear of his return from Iraq before the wedding. This was his eight time to be there. It takes a strong couple to deal with those demands. We are proud of them both. Thank you guys for a wonderful day.

Both of them preparing for their day.

You saw Cara Leigh's bridals earlier. Now here is a picture of the dashing Tim.

Tim's dad is also in the Army and was taking a quiet moment with his son before the ceremony.

I love this image of her bridesmaid Carissa anticipating an emotional reaction out of Tim as Cara Leigh was coming down the isle.

Of course at Berry you have to take pictures in our favorite arch way. Each time we try to make it a little different for each couple. This is what I captured of Cara Leigh and Tim.

Another fun car shot.

Here are a few of the sweet dance images we captured of the happy couple and then Cara Leigh with her dad.

What a wonderful day. We can't wait to come down and see you in Savannah.

Enjoy!

Tea Time

I'm sitting at my desk working away....and out of the corner of my eye I see Chris approaching. In his hands he has a little plate with fresh almond blossom tea as well as some almond biscotti. He's so sweet to me. We've been swamped lately with work and going non-stop. If there is one thing that can calm my spirit it's some tea. His kind gesture melted my heart and encouraged me to keep going. He saw me taking a picture of the tea and said "oh, boy." He knows those of the likes of Sticky, Garrett and Andrew will give him a hard time for setting the bar for the ladies. : ) Just had to share.

Thank you, babe.

Sara and Nick

Once again! What an honor it is for another photographer to select us to be their photographer. Sara and Nick are just about the sweetest couple to be with. They are extremely laid back and relaxed. We loved that about them. Their wedding with be at Emory this Fall and we know it will be just beautiful. These two are perfect together and we've enjoyed becoming better friends through out their engagement. We can't wait for your wedding guys! Sorry there are so many in black and white. I just loved how those turned out and wanted to share them.

Another Favorite

Yesterday Chris was in a wedding and Ben shot a wedding with me in Rome. It was a great day and I'll share many more images with you soon. I first wanted to show you one of my favorites. This was as they were leaving their reception. Another beautiful fairy tale picture of a couple entering their new marriage.

Drew and Kathryn

What a honor it has been to be selected as Drew and Kathryn's photographers. Drew is a wedding photographer in Decatur and it is always humbling when another photographer wants you to document their day. Their wedding is coming up soon and we wanted to be sure to get their engagement session in while they were still engaged! The wedding is going to be different, wonderful and creative. They have so many different aspects planned and I cannot wait to see it all come together.

Their personalities are just adorable together and kept Chris and I laughing. This in turn kept me from being too nervous about photographing them. I cannot believe that they have only known each other for less than two years. These two seem like they have faced every day of their life together. Their personalities match perfectly.

We cannot wait for the 10th of May!

Enjoy.

This is the house that Kathryn lived in when they first started dating. They wanted to come back here to have the pictures tell that story.

These are the little moments that happened all on their own. They set this up...not us.

We all stopped of at the Carroll Street Cafe for some pellegrino and to discuss their day.

I adore this shot Chris took of them.

Red Salon

This week our friend Jeff asked us to be a part of a lunch group that gets together once a quarter here in Atlanta. Jeff has started this group and we are so happy to know about it. It's a group of artists, musicians, leaders, business men and women as well as pastors that meet at One Midtown Kitchen for lunch. Then they have guests speak about current projects to bring awareness followed by a speaker. We were one of the guests speaking about Recapture. We loved sharing our passion with around 80 in attendance. We also brought our work to share with them.

Then Donald Miller (author of: Blue Like Jazz) was the speaker. He kept us thinking and laughing the entire time. He spoke on story and how each us have one. I thought about how, as photographers, Katie and I both enjoy capturing that story. Whether the people we capture are in a wonderful chapter of their life that is about a new addition to the family or a union of two. Or a chapter that is about rebuilding and restoration. Also what a privilege that we have, that people want us to come into their lives to document those chapters.

We were thrilled to be a part of this quarter's lunch and look forward to being involved with these leaders and visionaries of Atlanta.

The group arriving and Recapture's work.

Don speaking to us after lunch.

Cara Leigh

This past weekend we were documenting the wedding of Cara Leigh and Tim. We'll have more of those images to share soon, but for now we can finally share with you pictures from Cara Leigh's bridals. She was a stunning bride and we loved the images we were able to create.

Enjoy!

Baby Adler

I love it when our past brides and grooms start their families and come back to us for portraits. It's such a joy to see their new life starting together. Josh and Jenn had a busy year with a wedding, trip to Egypt, surgery, pregnancy and now a premie! What a year it has been. I'm so glad to see them is this new role as parents. It seems to be suiting them perfectly. Jenn's parents were in town and I loved that we were able to get some pictures of Adler with them. This is their first grandchild and they are absolutely smitten! :) So sweet.

Jenn is such a great mother. She is calm and relaxed. I admired how in control and content she is with this new addition.

Adler had a rough night before I arrived. He decided to catch up on his sleep while I was there. It worked perfectly for me....maybe not so much for Jenn and Josh the night before though.

I love the hands of a mother. So graceful and strong.

Now here we have a grandmother's hands surrounding this beautiful new babe. Such stories are written on her hands and I love how Adler is completely secure in her.
