Red shoes, red and black colors, a hot day and a great celebration with fun had by all. The groom's grandma even sang a song "a cappella" that brought the house down. From ceremony to reception, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. The event ended with a breakout run that the whole reception participated in.

Leslie and I go way back, and has been very familiar with my work. She's not your typical southern girl. The wedding was very well done. Hats off to Leslie, Dean, Micheal and the supporting cast. I'm well impressed.

The ceremony was touching and the reception was grand. But I must say the party really took off in the van ride from the church to the reception. They ended up driving around the Valley for an hour pre-partying with music and dancing. What a great idea!

Corrie and Zach just celerated their one year anniversary. I travelled to their new home. It was very beautiful home and their dog was so playful and frolicked about during the photography session.

Whimsical wedding at the State Botanical Gardens in Athens, Georgia. Emotions, feelings, friends, happiness and miniature bride and groom ducks were all a part of the day. There were so many great moments at this wedding. I was honored to photograph it.

Alison and Stephen

  • Hyatt Regency Pier 66 — Pompano Beach, FL

The city view was amazing atop the Pier 66 Restaurant and I captured some great photojournalistic moments of the bridal party in the South Florida sun. As the sun went down, the party sizzled and everyone had the best time. Wild wedding photography is probably a good decription.

Jamie and Nathan

Jamie and Nathan

  • Seabrook Island Club - Seabrook Island, South Carolina

I was thrilled when asked to do Jamie and Nathan’s wedding at a country club by the beach in Seabrooke Island South Carolina. Jamie and Nathan love the stylistic photojournalistic approach and were a delight to work with. As the sun went down, we got some truly cool shots. The night ended with sparklers and bridesmaids jumping in the ocean. Highly recommend looking at these pictures.

  • Payne Corley House

Courtney and Jay were married at the Payne-Corely House. The groom is a big wrestling fan, so we made sure to get a great photo of him and his belt. As the pictures show, the bridesmaids had some fun playing with the bride’s blue sash. My favorite photo is the black and white of Courtney showing the back of her dress—she was stunning!

Liz & Andy

  • Atlanta Athletic Club

The lighting was great and worked well with the candid style of the photos. My favorite photo is the bride and groom walking into the sunset. I love the contrast of the green grass against her elegant white gown and his black tux.

  • Peachtree Christian Church     |
  • Ansley Golf Club

Ashley & Wade were married December 1, 2007. It was a beautiful Buckhead wedding. There was a string quartet that played Christmas songs in the background, a very nice change of pace for this wedding photographer. Ashley's sorority sisters sang to her while she sat on Wade's lap. Very fun to photograph indeed.

  • Payne Corley House

Michelle was such an elegant bride and one of the best shots is the black & white image of her and her dad walking down the aisle. My other favorite picture is the one with her grandfather in front of the house.

I love this family and I have had the privilege of shooting Janell’s sister’s (Regan and Rachel) weddings too. One of my favorite photos is the one of Janell and her dad walking down the aisle showcasing her beautiful white dress. They also had a crazy bridal party. Notice the guys doing push-ups in the background.

This was a destination wedding for Cassandra and Dalibor who live in Chilie.

Stephanie and Eric

  • Tucker First United Methodist Church     |
  • Smoke Rise Golf and Country Club

Stephanie and Eric are University of Georgia Athens (UGA) former students and used school spirit as the theme for their wedding. From the bridesmaids dresses to the groom’s cake, the Georgia Bulldog was present, you've got to see the pictures in View Highlights or the Slideshow to see what I mean. Stephanie was a cheerleader for UGA and proved herself to be a trooper having made it through her wedding after spraining her back at the very beginning of the wedding.
