Helen and Brandon's Aska Farms Wedding: Sharon's Favs

In a perfect world, all weddings would be as awesome as Helen and Brandon's North Georgia wedding. It took place at Aska Farms near Blue Ridge, Georgia on a perfectly gorgeous, mild Spring day.

Here are a few of Sharon's favorite photos from the day.

Our Latest B'not Mitzvah Shoot

Here are a few favorites from the awesome B'not Mitzvah party we photographed at the Metropolitan Club in May. For those who aren't familiar, a boy celebrates a bar mitzvah, a girl celebrates a bat mitzvah. Twin girls celebrate a b'not mitzvah, the plural of bat mitzvah. 

Reaching the age of bar or bat Mitzvah signifies becoming a full member of the Jewish community with the obligations that come with it. Friends and family usually celebrate this coming of age with a huge party. Here's how one family celebrated.

I love photographing young people celebrating this important life event.

Josh and Colleen's St. Paddy's Day Dekalb History Center Wedding

We love a Dekalb History Center wedding. 

Josh and Colleens' St. Paddy's wedding was one of our favorites. 

Josh wore a green bow tie and Colleen's bridesmaids, yes ... you guessed ... wore green dresses. And all the guests were a wee bit Irish, at least for the day.

And this little fellow put on a St. Paddy's show with his vest and sunglasses.

Here are a few of our favorite photos.

Street Photography at the Martin Luther King March with my Fuji X100F

I finally took the leap and bought a Fuji X100F. I've been shooting with the original X100 for several years now, and have loved the files that come from this lightweight beauty.

But, the original X100 was fairly slow to focus and not very good in low-light. The X100F, in contrast, is quickdraw McGraw when it comes to focus and the bomb at high ISOs.

I bought my X100F used on EBay and am delighted with it, so far.

I took to the streets with it on Monday, January 15th, which is Martin Luther King's actual birthday, and this year, the day of the national holiday. Here in Atlanta every year, folks gather for a march in his memory.

Lots of people, great energy, good light ... a street photographer's dream.

Here are a few images I shot of folks marching, and those watching.

Josh and Colleen's Pine Lake Engagement Session

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.

Favorite Wedding Photographs 2017: Ceremony Shots

“There is a unique anticipation that fills the hearts of every couple,
and the hearts of those who come to witness their sacred union.
While it has been experienced by so many people in love, 
throughout the ages,
it is a moment in time that is unique and unto itself.
Your wedding ceremony experience will be
your unique moment in time!”

- Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway

We photograph weddings from many religious traditions and some from outside religious tradition. 

One of the many things I love about photographing weddings is that every wedding ceremony is different. Even weddings within the same church tradition vary in spirit, emotion and energy, if not in ritual.

And while all weddings are different, no matter the tradition, or lack thereof, they are united in that they are all a sacred celebration of love.

Favorite 2017 Wedding Photos: The Young at Heart

We think of weddings as a young person's game. And yet, at almost every wedding we photograph, we find elders, parents, grandparents, great aunts and uncles, enjoying themselves. Sometimes they just watch all the young people having fun.

But, sometimes, they join in. And boy do they enjoy themselves!
