Nav and Kathryn's Winn Park/High Museum Engagement Session

Nav and Kathryn say they’re “cut from the same cloth” and “bring out the best in each other.”

What more can you ask for in a life partner?

Knowing how Nav and Kathryn felt about each other, Kathryn’s family helped Nav set up a surprise engagement near a cabin in the mountains. “They set up a beautiful tent hidden in the woods with fake fur blankets on the ground, and lights strung along a path,” says Kathryn.

“Of course, I said ‘Yes’.”

When I met Navaneeth, I was immediately drawn to his unabashed laughter, his calm confidence, and of course, his man bun! Each day, I grow more in love with his kind thoughtfulness, how much he loves our cats, and his insatiable curiosity. I can’t wait to officially celebrate finding my soulmate.
— Kathryn
When I met Kathryn for the first time, it was like meeting an old friend I had lost touch with. I remember being distinctly aware of just how different our backgrounds were, but even more so of how right at home I felt. She was (and is) remarkably bright and lively, sassy as hell, kind beyond measure, and honest at all costs. She made it so unbelievably easy for me to be myself. I’m lucky to have met her, and can’t believe I get to spend the rest of my life with this wonderful human being.

I'm an Atlanta wedding photographer who takes soulful, quirky and honest photos ...

I'm also an adventurous traveler and all-round nerd. I love to hike with my beagle/cattle dog Roux and best friend/spouse.

I was born in Atlanta, moved around a lot--30 cities and 5 states--and then came back.

After graduating from the Art Institute of Atlanta, I took a job at asmall newspaper in south Georgia, where I photographedhospital teas, pecan farmers, and beauty queens.

I photographed a biker funeral, death penalty protests andTed Bundy while interning with the Associated Press.

While a photographer for two dailies in Florida, I photographed Ronald Reagan, a train derailment and the dedication of a screened-in porch.

An unexpected life turn took me to Vermont where I fell in love with Bernie Sanders and on to Indiana, where I edited photos for a major daily, and nerded out getting a master’s and PhD.

After teaching photojournalism at colleges and universities in Florida, Indiana and Mississippi, I returned to Atlanta to earn myfifth degree--a Master's of Divinity.

My passion for storytelling with my camera and my interest in religious diversity led my to the field of wedding photojournalism.

I have documented weddings large and small, Unitarian and Pagan, indoors and out, Christian and Muslim, in backyards and in churches. The most exotic wedding I have photographed took place in Mexico and was officiated by aMayan shaman.

When I'm not photographing weddings, portraits or corporate events, I work on personal photo projects, visit friends in amemory-care home, and volunteer at a recovery center.

Third Diamond Award Winner from Amber and Jerome's Engagement Session

Some engagement sessions are special. Everything comes together—the place, the fun, the humor, the personalities, the clothing.

Amber and Jerome’s Stone Mountain engagement safari was just such a session. I’m honored to share the third diamond award I’ve won from their session.

Thanks, Amber and Jerome!

Josh and Colleen's Pine Lake Engagement Session

stone-mountain-wedding-photographer.jpg

One of our favorite locations for engagement sessions is our tiny burg, Pine Lake. It's especially nice in the fall when the leaves are changing colors.

Josh and Colleen brought their two pooches with them for their shoot and we headed to the berm by the lake where the leaves were especially vivid.

Like most couples, Josh and Colleen were a little concerned about having a camera pointed at them for an hour or so. My job was to make them feel comfortable.

So, as usual, my fall back tool was humor.

I don't even remember how I got them to laugh, or if they made each other laugh.

Either way, the laughter, as usual, made for the best photographs.

Engagement Session Fun at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens

We were delighted when Irene and Travis chose us to take their engagement portraits. They were hell bent on having the photo taken at the Botanical Gardens, and we were hell bent on making that happen for them.

Their first date was at the gardens. Following their visit to the gardens they ate at the restaurant on the grounds. They had to wait two hours, because they hadn't made reservations in advance. Waiting for the table just gave them the chance to get to know each other better.

You can see in these photos that spending a little extra time together paid off well for both of them.

Tatiana and Jay's Mini Engagement Session in Pine Lake

We've been running a mini engagement session special for those who come to us for the shoot. We live in Pine Lake, a quirky neighborhood full of artists and musicians. Most folks from Atlanta, even those who have lived here forever, have never heard of our little burg, which is sad because Pine Lake rocks. We love it, because of its offbeat, laid back, artsy, neighborly flavor as well as its natural beauty.

Here are a few photos taken near the lake during our fun engagement session with Tatiana and Jay
