When we got to Piedmont Park on Saturday Morning at 6:15am it was just before sunrise. This is called the blue hour. The sky is a deep blue with a lighter color towards the east where the sun rises. Madison came loaded with two bottles of champagne for one of my signature celebration shots.

This week’s couple is Liat and David. They are getting married in October. They went to the same school growing up but didn't really know each other then. As they got older and ran in the same circles they started dating. After dating a while David proposed to her on his farm.
As an Atlanta wedding photographer I love to do engagement sessions. It is my way to get to know the couple. We chat and get to know each other. I learn about their brothers and sisters, Where they were born, time they spent traveling and working in New York City. These life experiences shape who they are. I also get to know how comfortable they are in front of the camera. I saw how David loves the outdoors and neither one is afraid to get a little dirty. They would laugh and just step into the creek to get the shot. They easily climbed in the tall grass to get a great photo.

As an Atlanta wedding photographer I get all kinds of requests. A few weeks ago Saainya and Faizan contacted me and wanted to do a pre wedding photo session. I asked her what she meant by that and she said she wanted to do a Bollywood themed photoshoot at a train station then a food based shoot at a restaurant since they were foodies.
We contacted the Southern Railway Museum located south of Duluth and asked if it was ok to shoot there and they said yes as long as you are not bringing some big lights. I decided it would be best to start in the morning on the square in downtown Duluth, since they have so many great restaurants and there are many photo locations within walking distance.

I have talked to many Atlanta wedding photographers. They all like getting to know their bride and grooms before the wedding. The best way to do that is with an engagement session. During an engagement session you have time to talk. You can ask questions and get a feel for what the couple is comfortable with, like are they comfortable in crowds and showing affection in public. I also ask them how they met each other. That is a good starting point for an interesting conversation. If they become comfortable with me sometimes I will ask them who said “I love you” first. That can tell a lot about the couple too.

This week’s wedding is Carly and Stewart. They are a true Ironman couple! The wedding was at my favorite venue Naylor Hall. It was a wedding to remember.
Naylor Hall is a beautiful venue that is in the heart of historic Roswell. It is a historic mansion with one of the largest front yards in Roswell. It makes a beautiful backdrop to any wedding. I am a big fan of Sunny the owner of Naylor Hall. She is an event professional with many years experience in planning and weddings. The manager Abbey is also a joy to work with! They, including their gracious staff, make a great team for any wedding or special event. It is an honor to work with so many wonderful people.

As an Atlanta wedding photographer, I get to shoot at some amazing locations. As some of you may know I am involved in historic preservation and I love historic venues. This week we are going to cover some of my favorite historic places of worship in Atlanta. I am also sharing a map of the historic churches, temples and synagogues in Atlanta. I hope you enjoy this little tour as much as I do.
The Temple, established in 1860 to serve the needs of the German-Jewish immigrants, is the only non-Christian historic house of worship in Midtown. The neoclassical Temple was designed by noted Atlanta classicist Philip Trammell Shutze in 1931. While dramatically scaled back from the pre-Depression plans, the sanctuary takes cues from Venetian churches Shutze saw while studying in Rome. During the 1950’s and 1960’s, The Temple was a center for civil rights advocacy. Its civil rights role was one of the central themes in the movie Driving Miss Daisy.

The ceremony was held inside the chapel. The Atlanta wedding photographers captured a mixed ceremony based on Sri Lanka culture. Sri Lanka is an island south of the Indian mainland. Since it is an island it has a rich history of international trade that influences the many religions that are practiced there. It was a beautiful ceremony. The bridesmaids sang a traditional song and there was even a person playing the conch shell. The couple fed each other and shared the cup of life. The two families exchanged gifts and the ceremony ended with the minister chopping a coconut in half!

They are super a cute couple who come from different sides of the world. The bride, Kellie is from Atlanta, Georgia and the groom Nagy is from Cairo, Egypt. She was raised Catholic and he was raised Muslim. Fate brought them together and when they met they appreciated each others cultures. They saw not the differences in the cultures but the similarities, in their cultures, such as importance of family and the importance of love and respect.
Read MoreThe ceremony was held in the parents living room. They had set up the folding screen, sitting area, mat and table. The table had food towers with candles for decoration. The nine foods were on the table representing the couple’s life long union. There were dates on the table symbolizing the couple rising early and working hard. There were also bags of chestnuts to help ward off evil spirits. Parents sat on one side of the table and the couple sat on the other side of the table. On the couples side of the table was a tea set for serving. On the parents side were several cups for being served. While the parents are being served the take turns offer advice and blessings to the bridal couple. They also give the the couple white envelopes containing money to help them on their new journey. It is important that the bride and groom receive any gifts with two hands, rather than just one, to show respect.

Many couples decide to hold two separate wedding ceremonies, known as the “Sequel Wedding,” for various reasons.

As an Atlanta wedding photographer, once in a while you’ll get to capture something that is more than a wedding. This was absolutely one of those weddings. It was a day full of emotion and love.
I was contacted by a friend of mine who wanted me to shoot a friend’s wedding, but I was told we’d have to do it soon because the bride, Alice, was battling cancer and was in intensive care. I told her we were 100 percent in and were going to help in any way that we could.
