My baby sister is getting MARRIED!!  Tori and Daniel are high school sweethearts tying the knot next summer.  Daniel pulled off an awesomely sweet proposal last summer and made my sister quite the happy gal!  We had a great time meeting up at UGA for some photos and fun :)

How cute are they?!?  I am SO happy for you two and can't wait to help you celebrate the official start of your lives together! XOXO

Look at this adorable couple that I get to work with over the next year as they plan their perfect wedding day.  They are so cool, down to earth, and sweet with each other.  Enjoy the start of our engagement session at a local farm.

Alan used their "puppy" to propose to Lindsey, so it was only fitting to include him in our photos!

This couple couldn't keep the giggles away for more than a few moments at a time...and I LOVED it!

We had a very curious audience during our session :)

Next, we headed down to Turner Field to fulfill a dream of Alan's.  We had so much fun exploring the empty stadium and pretending to be star athletes!

After shooting Alan, I looked over to find Lindsey looking perfectly posed and adorable - what a natural!

Thanks so much for a great day!  I am so excited for your wedding next year!

Dustin and Chelsey are the sweetest couple and I connected with them right away.  They met in Dahlonega while attending North Georgia College (I know the name has changed now, but old habits die hard!) just a few years after I was there.  Living in that area, they spent time hiking the nearby trails and enjoying nature.  Dustin even proposed on a river.  

After meeting Dustin and Chelsey for the first time, I traveled to a wedding that afternoon on Lake Lanier and my handy iPhone map lady directed me to go over Buford Dam.  Although I have lived in the area forever and frequent the lake often, I had never seen the Buford Dam area before.  I knew right away that it would be a perfect location for this outdoorsy couple's engagement photos.  We enjoyed some beautiful spring weather and loved exploring the parks.  Enjoy a peek into our morning!

Dustin's grandmother made this quilt and he had it when he proposed to Chelsey.  I love including memories like this into their photos!

We then traveled to their favorite local coffee shop.  Chelsey is a teacher and was excited to incorporate her love for reading into the session.

As we were shooting outside the coffee shop, I put the camera down to allow a few people to pass.  From across the street I watched Chelsey whisper something to Dustin, then they both erupted into laughter.  It turns out that the people passing by included Chelsey's ex-boyfriend and she wasn't sure of the proper etiquette for greeting one's ex while shooting engagement photos with the guy who stole her away!

You guys really are a charming couple and I'm so excited to witness the start of your marriage in a few months!

A Great Gatsby themed party?!  I am SO there!

Robert and Ricardo celebrated their engagement in style!  Everything about this party was fabulous - from the decorations, to the food, to the friends and family of these two great guys.  See for yourself! 

The wonderful food from Karen Walkup of Finishing Touches Catering was as delicious as it looked, and the personalized wall projection and 20s car really set the tone for this decadent celebration.

Robert's beautiful mother hosted a great party and totally rocked that look!

I'll leave you with my favorite photo of the night.  That sweet, natural look of happiness can't be posed!  Congratulations Robert and Ricardo!  I wish you all the best!

...And if you think you'd like a photographer with you in Hawaii, I think I could be persuaded :)

{Guests of the party, the full gallery can be viewed here.}

I've had the pleasure of seeing this bride-to-be's smiling face often at our chiropractor's office.  Soon I'll get to see that beaming smile accompanied by a wedding dress and her tall and handsome new husband!  First though, we met up to remember the sweet time before the wedding.  Enjoy Sarah and Glenn's engagement photos!

Sarah and Glenn met at a gym where Sarah was working.  After a friendly cat fight with another co-worker over the tall cute guy, Sarah started dating Glenn.  The rest, as they say, is history!

Glenn is a car enthusiast and was super excited to include his Papa's '64 Chevy in the photos :)

Laughing at the idea that Sarah would ever be driving the truck!

But she looks SO GREAT in it!

You guys are naturals and I can't wait to be there for your sweet and special wedding in June!

Katie has been my bestie since we saw each other's frizzy hair from across the room in 5th grade!  In the many years following, we spent countless hours together planning a summer camp for kids, going on an eating strike at a church retreat, sunning on the beach,  talking all night, and helping each other through breakups (we both discovered hair conditioner and flat irons too!).  Now I'm beyond excited that Katie has found her match in Dylan and, come November, they will be Mr. & Mrs.!!  Enjoy my lovely Katie and her handsome groom-to-be, Dylan.

I asked Katie to walk up to Dylan and put her arms around him.  These are the results from Dylan...

..."I know you're trying to get me to smile"..."Ok, I'll play along"..."Dang, I just can't help having a genuine smile on my face!"

Katie was a champ going off-roading in her heels for this shot

 Soon the road will be replaced by the aisle and your clothes will change to a tux and gown, but your connection will only grow stronger as you take the next big step together.   Congratulations again!
