Happy Father’s Day!

Across the nation today, we are picking up the phone, visiting, and writing emails to the most amazing men in our lives. So to all the gentlemen who have helped us tie our shoes, ride our bikes, learn to drive, and held our hands the whole time, we send you a heartfelt Thank You! Be sure to give your dad, your grandpa, your uncle, or any other male figure in your life a huge hug and lots of love!

Here is a collection of some of our favorite photos with fathers. It’s always sweet to see dads and grandfathers hold their little ones, or to see the love in the eyes of fathers at weddings.

We also wanted to include photos of us with our fathers. We love you both!

It’s Time to Show Our Gratitude – it’s Memorial Day!

It’s Memorial Day! To many Americans this means an extra long weekend full of bar-b-que, friends and fun. Most of us neglect the real reason for this holiday – remembering and honoring those who have served our country. So to do our part to honor our veterans, and those currently serving, here is a collection of pictures from the past with a patriotic flair. We always love photographing weddings and portraits, but we also enjoy finding the beauty in the every day. The last photo in this post is actually a black and white photo we’ve colorized ourselves. We’re excited to debut this new technique we’ve learned on such a special weekend.

A big thank you to all those serving and God Bless America!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms out there!

I had to wonderful opportunity to photograph an extended family at their home. It was the first time they had a family portrait taken with the whole family in years. There was so much love and joy expressed between brothers, cousins, grandparents, and mothers. So, in honor of mother’s day, here’s a few of our favorites from this dynamic family.

Small Local Wedding

One of the great things about living in Marietta is being so close to the Marietta Square! We’ve done a few family shoots there, but this was our first wedding! Even though it was toasty outside, we had a lovely day photographing this wonderful wedding at the Marlow House. From the small, private ceremony to the exciting sparkler send-off, it was a fantastic first Marietta Square wedding. We can’t wait for more!

Happy Birthday to Defy!

This past weekend was the anniversary of our company becoming an LLC! We’ve posted a lot of pictures through the years of your weddings and families, so we thought since it was our weekend, we could share some fun pictures of us! We went to a local creek to take pictures of each other with our significant others. We had a lot of fun climbing rocks, splashing in the water and hiking trails. It’s been fun to watch our business grow, and we are look forward to our continued growth both in the metro-Atlanta area and beyond. Thank you to all our family and friends who have supported us through the years. Your love and support mean the world to us.

The Quintessential American Couple

You can’t find a more all-American couple than a firefighter and a teacher! I was so pleased to be able to photograph my twin brother and his fiancĂ©e. We wandered around downtown in our hometown in Texas and found some great spots. I loved being able to see how happy my brother is with his sweetheart.

1st Anniversary Do Over

This bride and groom had big plans on their wedding day for where they wanted to take pictures. The plan was to go to their favorite places around St. Louis and get a lot of outdoor shots. Well, Mother Nature had different plans. It rained. So, we showed up for their 1st anniversary and went to all the places we didn’t get to go before! It was a lot of fun running around the city, and being able to see how much joy they had after their first year of wedded bliss.
