It’s not often that I get to see a couple reach their 50th anniversary, so it was an honor to photograph the Golden Anniversary of Charles & Mary. Family & friends flew in from all over the country for a surprise party to honor the couple. They renewed their vows followed by a delicious dinner at the JOEL Restaurant and live music by Madoca. The following day was a portrait session with the couple on the beautiful grounds of the Intercontinental Buckhead. You could really see how much they love each other & enjoy each others’ company. I hope to be where they are in 41 more years!

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Sarah and Andrea’s rehearsal dinner at Mary Mac’s Tea Room. It was my first time meeting the couple who lives in LA and were surrounded by family & friends from 5 continents. Mary Mac’s was the perfect location for their bluegrass theme with music provided by the Bluegrass Sound Band. Here are a few highlights from the evening.

Wedding photos to come soon!

Last month I photographed the women’s conference at my church. It was 2 days of music, seminars, DIY workshops. There was even had a panel of brave men to answer all the questions women have about what men think or why the do what they do.

The Cranky Princess is the cutest little gift shop in downtown Stone Mountain.  You can find jewelry, accessories, home decor and candles.  They also offer bath & beauty products such as Carol’s Daughter which can’t be had in this area without driving to Perimeter, Buckhead or beyond.  The shop also hosts princess tea parties for little girls. She has the cutest fairy tea room complete with china, princess gowns and tiaras for the attendees.  I first met owner Lauren Oselette at the Atlanta Parent Block Party last year where we were both exhibiting. The little girls LOVED her Glam Girl glitter lip gloss and lotion where you can choose your own flavors.  I stopped in last week to visit and took a few photos. The next time your in Stone Mountain, you have to visit. And you have to buy a Cranky Princess t-shirt. I got one last year for my neice.  That shirt describes her perfectly!

When you visit, make sure to look for my portrait album which Lauren has graciously allowed me to display there.
