Sneak Peek! | Courtney & Clayton are Engaged! | Atlanta Wedding Photographer

April 30th, 2012

I met Courtney and Clayton for the first time at Menchies! Surprisingly, this was my first experience here and I must say I’m a fan! I generally force most of my prospective clients to meet me at a FroYo joint… for a few of reasons. 1— it’s the best thing since sliced bread 2— it’s [...]
 

I met Courtney and Clayton for the first time at Menchies! Surprisingly, this was my first experience here and I must say I’m a fan! I generally force most of my prospective clients to meet me at a FroYo joint… for a few of reasons. 1— it’s the best thing since sliced bread 2— it’s the bees knees 3— it’s the jam.

No… but really, I feel almost as if it is my life’s mission to spread the Frozen Yogurt Love. I really like how I don’t feel guilty eating it because it’s “yogurt” .. it has probiotics and calcium!! It’s not really ice scream. Plus I can justify going several times a week if it’s for “work.”

The truth is out.

Within the first 5 minutes of meeting with Courtney and Clayton, I knew we would get along! We were quoting youtube videos and sharing inappropriate family stories before we even finished our yogurt. This past weekend, we continued our fun at the Goat Farm in Atlanta exploring the grounds of this visual oasis. We completed our shoot at their house in order to feature their small furry children Optimus Prime and Anemone. Needless to say, I had so much fun and I can’t wait for their wedding in the fall!

Here are a few I snagged while loading my memory cards on the computer!

Enjoy!

April 25th, 2012

Kellie and Chad are awesome! We met for Fro Yo! last fall to discuss their wedding plans and I immediately fell in love with them! They are super active and they are smitten over their two pups — my kind of people! I can’t wait until their wedding day at Brasstown Valley in June!   [...]

Sneak Peek! | Love in Thailand! | Destination Wedding Photographer

April 21st, 2012

So… let me just start of by saying… I had the most incredible trip of my LIFE… and I owe it all to this amazing couple–James and Mia. These two are the kindest, most open minded, accepting, humble, ______ (insert the most thoughtful adjective you could possibly think of here) couple… I’ve ever met. The [...]
 

So… let me just start of by saying… I had the most incredible trip of my LIFE… and I owe it all to this amazing couple–James and Mia. These two are the kindest, most open minded, accepting, humble, ______ (insert the most thoughtful adjective you could possibly think of here) couple… I’ve ever met.

The 2 weeks I experienced in Thailand was by far one of my favorite travel adventures of all time. The chemistry, the love, the people, the location. I honestly couldn’t have dreamt a more perfect scenario…. sighhhhh. So perfect that it took me weeks to get out of vacay hangover mode.

It so happens that I have something like 350 gigs of images to go through from this trip. The funny thing is, I’m not even exaggerating. 6 Total weeks abroad and I was very close to filling up my entire 500 gig drive. Needless to say… it will be awhile before I post any images… but I did; however stumble upon these gems while clearing off my cards for the upcoming weddings this weekend.

Again this is merely scratching the surface.. more to come within the next… eh, decade?

————

Uh.. before I exit left… I’d like to make a TRL shout out (eh… yes what is that? circa 2000? )…

—to every Australian that I happened to meet. Because of you— I want to move to your country. Amy & Holly– for being awesome travel buddies who shared many a jars of Nutella & Peanut butter, sang “one night in Bangkok” without knowing any additional lyrics to that song, along with “I come from a land down under” whilst incorporating this skit about 1.2 million times. And lastly, I can’t forget to thank Kristi Odom for inviting me to be a part of this dreamy wedding. She is by far one of the most talented, influential, and inspiring people that I’ve been so lucky to know. I probably wouldn’t have gone down the path that I have if it weren’t for her. So I can honestly say I owe my wedding photography career to this woman.

… alright Carson you can have mic back.

Enjoy!

Newborn! | Welcome Home Connor! | Atlanta Portrait Photographer

I was lucky enough to witness the first few days of Carol & Patrick’s new life as parents. Conner Vinh Drinkard was welcomed into the world mid March with open arms and a warm community of friends and family.

It’s funny because I kept asking Carol and Patrick questions about what it feels like to be parent’s and their response to me 99% of the time was… “oh you’ll see…” or “you just wait…” Which makes me wonder if it’s best to take photos of babies than to have my own! Kind of the same thing right?

Congratulations Carol & Patrick!!

 

Here are a few of my favorites from there shoot! <3!!
