Atlanta Wedding Photography

It is such an honor being a wedding photographer in Atlanta.  I get to part of so many special occasions.  This month I got invited to document a very special moment in two peoples lives.  This thoughtful young man contacted me and wanted to surprise his girlfriend.  He wanted me to document him proposing to her.  To give you a little background their first date was at Atlanta Centennial Park at the Ice Skating Rink ( I know so romantic!).  One year later they went back to the same spot this time he was going to propose to her!

We made many plans and checked out the site for lighting at night.  The whole point of the shot was to surprise her at Christmas with the video of their proposal.  I stayed hid the entire night but got many pictures of the special occasion.  I stood in the crowd so they didn’t see me taking pictures while they ice skated.  When it came time for the proposal I grabbed another couple and acted like I was taking a photo of them but I was shooting over their shoulder at the proposal in action.
What a honor to be part of something so special!!! I feel so warm inside when I think about young love and the beginning of a long relationship.  I thank god that I get to be a wedding photographer in Atlanta and document such unique occasions.

Wedding Photography at Emory Conferance Center

Hi Everyone!
I wanted to share my latest wedding with you.  It was shot at the Emory Conference Center in Atlanta, Georgia.   It is a great facility with many wedding options. I have shot many weddings there and each one was wonderful.

This wedding was a mature couple that new exactly what they wanted.  She was from China and he was from here.  They were such a sweet couple. They were madly in love.  The one thing I always say is “make it your wedding” and they did.  She brought over some of her China traditions and he used to be a drummer in a band and he played drums with the wedding band.

There was a good time to be had by all!

Atlanta Wedding Photography

Recently I was invited to photograph a very special occasion.  This person was going to propose to his girlfriend at the same place they went on their first date.  They went on their first date at Centennial Olympic Park and they went ice skating.   He wanted me to capture this moment and not let her know since it was a surprise.  I did some research on the lightning and I was up to the challenge!

The big night came and I get an assistant to help me because I did not wan to miss the big moment!  It was easy to take photos of them skating since there were so many people skating.  He wanted to propose to her at the Olympic Rings Fountain.  So when they made their move there I put my assistant in to position and I grabbed a passing couple and asked them to be part of my cover and they agreed.   I then moved my cover in to position and shot over their shoulder at the couple.  What happened next was magic.  He pulled out the ring and even got down on one knee!

I cant say what a honor it was to photograph the big moment!  She was none the wiser and they were just thinking about Atlanta Wedding Venues. I have included the video for everyone to see.

Atlantic Station

I recently had a unique opportunity to have a model that had access to a wedding dress. I was not going to let that pass me by. So I set up a shoot in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. More specifically the Atlantic Station area. I felt this area show cases AtlantaThere is a bridge, lake, and this really cool architectural arch. I as luck enough to find some parking right near the bridge. So we started there.

While shooting at the bridge we got some wonderful photos. We took advantage of the
Atlanta skyline and the lights in the background. It made a great back drop to some
wonderful poses. Like I said before Irene was a pro. We got some head shots with the
arch in the background. But my favorite shot on the bridge was some of Irene sitting on
the bridge with the skyline in the back ground.

We then moved toward the columns below the arch. There we got some great back
lighted photos with the help of katherine the photographer’s assistant.

I want to say give a big shout out to the model Irene who was awesome to work with
she was a real pro who delivered! I also want to give a big thanks to Katherine the
make up artist who doubled as a photographer’s assistant. These two women were
awesome working late into the night and in the heat of a Atlanta which can be a lot to
ask of anyone. Thank you thank you and thank you!

What I love about wedding photography. First let me give you some background on me.  I start doing photography over 20 years ago with film. Matter of fact I still shoot some large format HABS HAER photography for the park service on film. While I love black and white photography with film. I love enjoy the convenience of shooting digital. While I like architecture I love shooting people!

I love shooting people! I am a people person. That is the main reason love wedding photography. I enjoy the range of emotions that come come to wedding. The joy of everyone getting together and witnessing the joining of two people in love. There
is something so very special about that. I am always trying to capture that special moment that two people look at each other and are giddy that they are married! That little moment when the parents look at their kids and are so happy for them. That
moment when the grand parents look on and see another generation has begun. How
can some one not love that!

The other thing I love about weddings is the challenge. You really have to have your
energy level on high. You have to be aware of what is happening around you and what
is going to happen. I have to constantly have to anticipate what is going to happen
next. Where to be to capture the expression on someone’s face or to be where the
action is. I am always looking for the little details of wedding that makes it unique to the
couple may it be a candle for a loved one or the bride wearing cowboy boots. That is
one the many reasons I so enjoy wedding photography.

I do believe I was born to be a wedding photographer. I see so many blogs from other
wedding photographers and they are always complaining about this or that. I on the
other hand fell so blessed to be able to shot weddings in Atlanta, Georgia one of the
greatest places in the world for weddings!!!!!!!

It is always such a honor to be bestowed the honor of wedding photographer.  It is a challenge and exhausting job but at the end of the day it is one of the most rewarding job in the world!

With Atlanta having so many beautiful venues it keeps this Atlanta wedding photography busy shooting weddings every weekend.  Because of the weather being relatively cool compared to the other months in Georgia and the foliage being in full bloom this makes this one of the best times to get married in the metro area.

As a Atlanta wedding photographer I always try to have a engagement shoot with the couple before the wedding.  I know everyone gets self-conscious in front of a camera.  I myself am not fond of having some one say “smile for the camera”.  The main reason I have the engagement session is for the couple to feel comfortable with me and the camera.  I don’t start shooting out of the gate usually the first couple minutes is just everyone talking and getting to know one another.  Once that is done then the couple usually relaxes and isn’t so self-conscious in front of the camera.

When shooting we just casually walk around and when I see something that catches our eye or the light is right we will stop take some quick photos and move on.  I don’t understand why some photographers pose the people in these awkward ways.  You can see in the photos that the couple is uncomfortable doing this.  I think good photography is like good food it is “fresh and natural”.
