We arrived at Piedmont Park right around sunrise. I was looking forward to the photoshoot and getting to know these two. As luck would have it, there was rain and a chilly morning in the forecast. They were real troopers and said let’s go for it! I grabbed an extra strobe light and umbrella from my car and we started in the park. We then stopped in front of the garage where they had some cool street lamps. Then we headed to the soccer field where you have one of the finest skylines in the city. Once again we used the umbrella and second strobe for lighting. After a few minutes there we headed to the dock and wrapped up our shooting at Piedmont Park. The rain seemed to be coming down a little harder so I suggested we go to the Georgian Terrace, a historic hotel in downtown Atlanta on Peachtree Street. We'd be able to park there and go do some fun Downtown shots since it was only 5 minutes away. They agreed and off we went.
Scattered, Smothered, and Covered With Love at Waffle House!
As an Atlanta wedding photographer I have the honor of shooting a lot of engagement sessions at many unique places around the area. I have shot Piedmont Park, Ponce City Market, the Beltline and many other amazing Atlanta landmarks. This week I got to shoot at one of my favorite Atlanta landmarks: the Waffle House! It is my favorite restaurant in Atlanta and the very first Waffle House was located in Avondale Estates.
I got an email a few months ago from a couple who recently got engaged. They live in New York, but were coming to Atlanta to attend a wedding and wanted to do their engagement session while they were here. They had one request: they wanted to do the session where they had their first date: the Waffle House! When I heard this, I was so excited! I knew it was gonna be a blast!
Joelle + Jeff
Oh how gorgeous an October morning looks during the famous blue hour.
Several weekends back, I had the greatest opportunity of photographing Joelle and Jeff’s classic Atlanta engagement shoot. The city was quiet and desolate, yet the skyline’s bright lights casted their guidance, leading us to some pretty incredible locations.
