Have fun at your Atlanta Wedding!

by David Diener

This week I had another great wedding!  There were a great couple who I could tell that were truly in love.  They knew how to share their wedding day with friends and family.  They also had the cutest little twin girls in their wedding as flower girls.  You can see highlights at my Atlanta Artistic Weddings site my clicking http://atlantaartisticweddings.com/atlanta%20wedding%20photographer/4-9-2011-wedding.html
The wedding was held at the Braselton Stove House.  If you follow my blog you know it is one of my favorite places to shot.  It has everything you need!  A great ball room and historic house that has so many wonderful places to photograph. The caterer was cornbread and caviar.  They are one of the best in the business.

Take Advantages of all the Scenic Places in and Around Atlanta

by David Diener

There are so many ways to do your wedding.  I recently shot a wedding where the Church was beautiful inside but lacked any locations to shot outside and the reception was in a restaurant with the same problem.  So the bride and I got to together and looked at google maps for a locations in the vicinity of both venues. 
We decided at a park with a covered bridge.
It was a great decision that we were so thankful for.  You can see the other hightlights of the wedding, reception and fun shots at http://atlantaartisticweddings.com/atlanta%20wedding%20photographer/4-2-11%20wedding.html.
The bride was so great to work with!  As you can see she was comfortable in your dress and location.When everyone is relaxed then everyone can have some fun!!!

Thank you to all!!!

Great Bridal Show Outside Atlanta, Georgia

by David Diener

 This Sunday I was lucky enough to participate in a bridal show at the Braselton Stover House in Braselton, Georgia.  Mary Stover organizes these events for brides so they can see different vendors for their wedding.  I would suggest to all brides that they should take advantage of these events.  It is a low pressure environment to get some great ideas! You learn so much from taking advantage of Mary's many years of experience and insight.
While there I came across a great cake decorator.  His name is Mark Brickman.  He had a couple of great examples of his wedding cakes.  I have seen many wedding cakes and his craft and talent have set him apart as one of the best in Atlanta!  As good as these cake look they test even better! They are a great center piece to your wedding. His website is located at www.bakersmanic.com. You should go by his site and check out his creative creations.  He not only does wedding cakes he does some very original groom cakes.
Also there was Jane Elkenberry from Cornbread and Caviar.  She is a great caterer who brings  you great food within your budget.  She is also the caterer for the Fox Theater.  She is a gracious person who wants the best for your wedding. You can call her at 404-273-4939 and she will be happy to help you.

Last but not least was Pulse Dj Services was there.  DJ Chris Meeks was there spinning some great tunes for the brides.  He brings the tunes to your event and keeps the party going! You can visit his site at http://www.pulsedjservices.com/

I have recently done a great wedding on the east side of town called Gaither's Plantation ,located at  270 Davis Ford Road in Covington .  The property is owned by the county and is said to be haunted! Their parents rented a historic mansion where they decorated so wonderfully.  They really made it a family affair and such a personable occasion.  The occasion was near Halloween so they decorated it with a Halloween them.  The place was decorated with these warm Autumn colors.  There were also little teeth and little kick kacks for the kids which made it fun for everyone.  I even grabbed some of the Halloween teeth and got the bridesmaids and bride to put them on and made scary faces!!

What fun!  When it is time for your wedding make it your own and have fun!

Child Portraits and the joy they give everyone

by David Diener

Recently I was given the honor of making a portrait of a good friend of mines family and specifically their daughter.  They are so sweet.  The dad is a dear friend of mine who I give a hard time constantly at work because of begrudgingly attitude that he tries to project. I really enjoyed see all that melt away and see the real him as he interacts with his family.  The way he melts when his little girl smiles at him.  Also how he learns that 1 year old little girls have their own time line and that we can not rush them or change their minds with a wave our hand.
Doing this photo shoot reminded me one the thing that got me into photography and historical documentation  in the first place.  It is a sort of time capsule of a people's lives. I feel so honored to be part of it.  I know that the mother and father will look back at it and fondly reminisce on how tiny their little girls hands were or how they spent so much time picking out a little outfit that fitted her for only 3 months.   The child will years from now will complain how fat their cheeks where or how the outfit looks so dated.   In about 50 years the child will look back and point at the photograph and say "I was a cute baby!" and their kids and grand kids will look into the photograph for glimpses of their selves such as mom's nose or dads eyes.
This is a honor that I do not take lightly.   I feel so blessed to be part of each families documentary and portraits that will be part of the time line of generations to come. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all!

Indian Wedding in Atlanta, Georgia

by David Diener

As a Atlanta Wedding Photographer it is a honor to photograph so many different weddings.  This month I got to photograph Oma's and Terry's Wedding Party in Atlanta.  I we had so much fun!  Since they had already gotten married in New York City they wanted to have a party here for their friends in Georgia.  The party was in Atlanta.
The coolest thing we did was do a sort of engagement shoot / wedding portrait.  Since they were both Indian I suggested the Hindu Temple in Lilburn as the back drop.  It worked beautifully!!!! I could not ask for more.  We started shooting late in the afternoon and they were gracious enough to stick around till the sun went down and we got some amazing photos.  You can see the slide show at http://atlantaartisticwedding.com/atlanta%20wedding%20photographer/oma%20and%20terry.htm.  Thank you Oma and Terry! and Thank you for visiting!

Fall Colors for Your Wedding

Fall is a wonderful time of year to get married.  It is not too hot or too cold.  As a Atlanta wedding photographer I have seen some wonderful fall wedding.  I love the wonderful warm colors of the fall weddings.  It really like the orange and reds of the flowers.  It also seems to make the wedding a little homey and warmer.

Great wedding dances

by David Diener

Hello everyone! I always enjoy the first dance.  It has become so much more than the conservative slow dance of ages past.  It has now become such a fun and entertaining part of the day! I have made links to some of the weddings that I have enjoyed.  Here is the Clay family and their jig!  There is also the whole wedding party dance that Virgina and Brian did, what a hoot! Now their is some serious choreography involved in Max and Sarah's first dance.

Thanks for the reviews on Google!

by David Diener

I want to say thank you to all the brides that have left me at Google Local .

I am so local that brides have been so kind to me.  I want to share one of the reviews from one of my most recent brides Emanulla.

That's exactly what we think of David...Afterall, what is a wedding without great pictures? My mum tells me all the time to smile and look good cos you cannot go back and take the picture again... David took care of that - even he couldn't have imagined what a blessing it was to have him as our wedding photographer. Imagine meeting your photographer on the morning of your wedding! We had just come out of a nightmare with the wedding photographer we had earlier contracted and was introduced to David by the wonderful owners of the Braselton-Stover house to try and salvage the situation and when David showed up for work that evening on September 10, 2010 - I had a smile on my face that just won't quit throughout the day. He was fun, humble, tireless, great with our many demanding families and friends and did everything so effortlessly that I thought in my heart and still do that God sent him to take care of the day. He even got my husband smiling all the way... the pictures are simply gorgeous!!! Thanks Dave! I believe you haven't seen the last of Emmanuella & Ronald Jones!
