The Hilton Atlanta exemplified customer service by going above and beyond at last weeks wedding. Shannon & Jaron, a very special couple, were married on Jun 22 at the Hilton Atlanta.  They had to change their date at the last minute due to an illness that caused one of them to be hospitalized.  It was truly a blessing to see a full recovery and watch them be married a month after their original date. Although the wedding was not as extravagant as originally planned, the love and happiness was overwhelming.  The change in plans did allow us time to take the couple out to Piedmont Park for portraits in the rain!

Piedmont park is the most popular setting for Atlanta engagement portraits. The Midtown skyline, rolling hills, lake and gazebo make the perfect backdrop for fun, casual and romantic portraits. 

I recently photographed a wedding with friend and fellow photographer, Virginia Hall of Moment by Moment.  It was at one of my favorite venues, the Emory Conference Center, which has a beautiful outdoor lawn for a ceremony.  The bride wore a colorful, lavendar & blue wedding gown and her mom quilted a beautiful chuppah with a wedding couple embroidered underneath it.  I loved their simple, yet elegant centerpieces – alternating orchards (my favorite) and hydrangeas in decorative clay pots. As always, a few of my favorite photos…

Taryn and Matt had a beautiful wedding ceremony at St Luke’s Presbyterian Church in Dunwoody with the reception following at the Pavillion at East Cobb.  No detail was overlooked. There was georgeous display of flowers, favors and a candy bar, sure to please the kid in everyone (or at least me).  The band, Moxie, kept the crowd on the dance floor.  Aside from the great wedding photography they’ll get,  Mike Henry from Wedding Storytellers is sure to produce a fantastic wedding video.  Below are some highlights from the day.
