Atlanta Wedding Photographer David Diener Teaches Digital Photography at Emory

Atlanta Wedding Photographer David Diener Teaches Digital Photography at Emory

I wanted to give a quick reminder that this is the last week you can sign up for the digital photography class at Emory Continuing Education.  It is a great class for beginners and advanced photographers that want to improve their skills.  You can sign up at this link  Emory Continuing Education Digital Photography.

We will start with the basics of the camera and then go on to the best practices for taking photos.  One of the things I push is that you don’t need a lot of expensive equipment.  You just need to know how to control your camera to get the best photos you can in any situation.

That’s why this week I thought i’d share some possible social media captions to pair with your photos that will help you create the perfect post!

Brides depend on Google Review for Atlanta Wedding Photographers

Brides depend on Google Review for Atlanta Wedding Photographers

As one of the many Atlanta wedding photographers out there,  I think the reviews found on Google help brides and grooms make informed decisions.  Google reviews are a trusted source of information.  They are reviews written by clients that have had experiences with a company’s services.  As an Atlanta wedding photographer I love to hear feedback from clients.

When a person is hiring an Atlanta wedding photographer it is a new experience for them.  It is not like they hire a new wedding photographer every week.  So I think a good place to start is Google.  You can see how long the business has been open.  You can see how many positive reviews they have.

Atlanta Wedding Photographers capture International Celebration of Love

As a Atlanta Wedding Photographer, this week’s wedding is one that hits close to home.  I have known the bride since she was 10 years old.  Her parents were in my small group at church, so I saw her grow up and graduate college.  Now she is a young woman who found a great guy and is getting married!

Megan and Jaylen met while they were going to Georgia State.  They have been together for about 4 years.  When Jaylen proposed to her she started planning her wedding.  One thing you need to know about Mergan is that she is a planner!  She contacted me about a year and a half ago.  I was so honored to be her Atlanta wedding photographer.

Atlanta Wedding Photographers Capture Fun Bollywood Engagement Session

Atlanta Wedding Photographers Capture Fun Bollywood Engagement Session

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.

One of the best things about being an Atlanta wedding photographer are the many cultures we see throughout the city. This carries into the weddings, which often turn into cultural celebrations. All wedding details tell the story of the couple and where they came from. My favorite detail happens to be the wedding dress so this week, I wanted to take a walk through all of the wonderful cultural wedding attire from around the globe our photographers have seen over the years.

Atlanta Wedding Photographers Love Engagement Sessions

Atlanta Wedding Photographers Love Engagement Sessions

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.

Historic Roswell District an Atlanta Wedding Photographer's Dream

We agreed to meet at Barrington Hall in Roswell at 7:30am at sunrise.  They were real sports!  It started out very chilly and Sarah was wearing a beautiful white sundress that looked great on her but I know it was cold.  Evan and Sarah did not complain one bit!  As the shoot went on they started to appreciate the early morning  start time and the low light that comes when you start to shoot in the morning and get that early morning/sunrise light.

This week’s post is a very special one. I was contacted by Collin who was going to propose to his girl friend Taylor.  He wanted to surprise her and propose to her at Ponce City Market.  As an Atlanta wedding photographer it is such an honor to photograph special moments like this.

When you are setting up a surprise proposal there is a lot of planning but at the same time you have to be flexible in the moment.   We made time in the evening to plan the proposal.   He said he had a reservation for 7pm at 9 Mile Station.
