When is it a good time of year to get married?  It is up to you but you shouldn’t fell obligated to get married in June like everyone else and battle over booked photographers and venues in Atlanta.  There are other options for you.  I my self got married New Years eve because I knew my family would be in town and I wanted to share my wedding with them.  October is a great time also.  It is a cooler than the summer months in Georgia.  It is not too cold either.  When everyone is wearing suits it is a perfect month!  In closing just don’t limit your options.  It…

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 stopping by!  Visit the latest reviews for Atlanta Artistic Weddings here. Thank you to all!!!

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…

As  a professional wedding photographer I see a lot of weddings.   When I talk to the brides after wards they all say the day just happened so quickly!  I can say when there are so many things going on constantly and it happened so fast it is important to take a little time and look around.  When you are looking just take a breath and appreciate the moment.  I guarantee that you will see people that love you, have helped you in the past and will support you in the future.  That is the point of the wedding sharing your commitment to your spouse with the people that are the…

I know I usually blog about wedding photography in Atlanta.  Today I am going to blog about something else I am interested in and that is history.  During the day I work for a historical and archaeological consulting firm.  I have been doing this for about 20 years.  I have always had this interest in historical photography.  I my self still use large format photograph to document such things as NASA and historical properties in the southeast united states. When recently one of my friends in the archaeology field posted this on their facebook page I had to share it!  Just go to http://blogs.denverpost.com/captured/2010/07/26/captured-america-in-color-from-1939-1943/ and you will see some of…

As a professional wedding photographer in Atlanta I get all kinds of questions.  From where should we do engagement sessions or what ideas do you have for favors at the wedding?   In all those cases I would say let them express yourself and you will the happiest with them.  This weekend I photographed a wedding and the groom was a baseball player from Georgia Southern.  So the them was baseball.  They were such a great and giving couple.  What they did  with their baseball theme was put out cracker jacks and peanuts.  It was inexpensive, original, a lot of fun and expressed how they meet.  The favors where very well…

I recently shot a engagement shot at Piedmont Park in downtown Atlanta. When I am working at a shot I am always looking at how to give some variety to my shots.  That way it breaks up the shot and the couple get some different shots.  It also keeps the couple fresh.  When working at the park I got their early to beat the Atlanta heat.  When we got there then we had the large open spaces to ourselves.  That way we could use these spaces and have the Atlanta skyline in the background.  We also had a small pone to work with for a splash of color.  On top…

Hi, I just had the privilege of photographing another great couple for a engagement session. I meet them at the historic Gwinnett Court House at a bridal show there.  They were so great to work with.  I made a quick movie so they could see their previews at http://atlantaartisticweddings.com/proof/july-18-2010/ .  I always think it is a good idea to have a engagement session.  Everyone gets to know each other and have a great time taking some great photos around Atlanta!

Hey everyone I hope that everyone had a great weekend.  I recently came across this article.  I am always looking for ways to take the best photos.  After reading this article it really hit home with some very simple tips on how to look better in photos.  The best tip I saw that brides and brides maids can do is extend their arms away from their sides so their arms don’t look so large.  Take a few minutes and look at this very informative article. http://www.glamour.com/weddings/2010/06/10-tips-to-looking-your-best-in-wedding-pictures-even-if-youre-not-the-bride?mbid=synd_msn#slide=1 Thank you so much for visiting!
