Kellie & Chad are hitched!

An amazing day in Brasstown Valley… Walking back to my hotel room, I couldn’t help but smile at everyone I saw. I was giddy! The day could not have been any more perfect!

An amazing day in Brasstown Valley…

Walking back to my hotel room, I couldn’t help but smile at everyone I saw. I was giddy! The day could not have been any more perfect! The details, the crew, the guests, and the stunning, laid back, and blissfully happy couple!

The view overlooking their ceremony and reception site was breath taking…. and I will never forget their bagpiper that played off in the distance during their ceremony. Not to mention Chinese wish lanterns– which I must say are the coolest things I’ve ever seen!

Muffin and Puffin, Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your dreamy fairy tail wedding! Live happily ever after!

I had the pleasure of working with an amazing team of vendors:

Venue: Brasstown Valley Resort
Wedding Planning: We Tie the Knots
Videography: Sterling Cinematics

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!

Sneak Peek! | Whitney & Tucker After Shoot | Destination Wedding Photographer

September 27th, 2011

This summer, I trekked across the U.S for an adventure! Road tripping out west was definitely on the top of my bucket list, so I decided– since I didn’t have any weddings booked in July/early August that I would take advantage of my time off… and do some soul searching. I’ve always HATED commuting and [...]

 

This summer, I trekked across the U.S for an adventure! Road tripping out west was definitely on the top of my bucket list, so I decided– since I didn’t have any weddings booked in July/early August that I would take advantage of my time off… and do some soul searching. I’ve always HATED commuting and being in traffic. Me + Traffic = Road Rage Extraordinaire! But driving for leisure is a different experience all together. With good music and the open road… the mind can travel.

While on  my trip— I was lucky enough to schedule a shoot with a few of my favorite clients– Whitney & Tucker. They are avid fly fishers from Denver. We greeted our morning with Manmosas and bloody Marys and started our adventure to the “Pooter” River.

Apparently I have the sense of humor of a 8th grade boy because I DIED laughing when I heard that we were going to the “Pooter” river, but only to my embarrassment– it’s spelled POUDRE… which isn’t nearly as funny as originally thought to be.

Here is a shot taken in transit to our next location. :)

Many more to come!

Weddings! | Laurie & Doug are hitched!! | Atlanta Wedding Photography

June 7th, 2011

Laurie & Doug are from Colorado— and are two of the most laid back people I have ever met! I met Laurie for the first time at the Flying Biscuit with her awesome mom, Ann. I remember her saying “the most important thing about my wedding is…” — and I thought to myself— “of course, [...]

 

Laurie & Doug are from Colorado— and are two of the most laid back people I have ever met! I met Laurie for the first time at the Flying Biscuit with her awesome mom, Ann. I remember her saying “the most important thing about my wedding is…” — and I thought to myself— “of course, the photography!!”… RIGHT?  Her words… “THE CAKE! Everything else can be crap… well except the photography….” And at that moment, I knew she was my kind of girl. The detail oriented, cake loving, photography appreciating, ANTI-bridezilla of my dreams!

She and Doug are a match-made in heaven! They are so sweet and so genuine with each other. They had such a deep understanding for each other and for what relationships should be about– loving the other for who they are and not trying to change anything about them. So sweet!

Their beautiful and intimate wedding was located at the fabulous Chateau Elan Resort and Winery in North GA.

Being a part of their day was an absolute pleasure!

Here are some of my favorites to recap their day!
Enjoy.

Weddings! | Emily & Stephen are still married! Hooray! | Destination Wedding Photographer

May 4th, 2011

Some how, I lucked out and was able to get the opportunity to shoot Emily and Stephen from POGOPHOTO. OK luck can be personified because Kristi is my horseshoe. She set up a shoot with these chill and talented photographers from Florida while we were in Vegas for WPPI. What can I say, she is [...]

 

Some how, I lucked out and was able to get the opportunity to shoot Emily and Stephen from POGOPHOTO. OK luck can be personified because Kristi is my horseshoe. She set up a shoot with these chill and talented photographers from Florida while we were in Vegas for WPPI. What can I say, she is the JAM!

Emily and Stephen are so quick witted– they never skip a beat… and it is so obvious that their relationship still harbors the same fiery passion they had as newlyweds.

I noticed while selecting images to blog that these images are quite the dichotomy between quirky/playful and sensual/romantic.  There were times where we were all laughing hysterically and other times where I was like… hmmm should I let them be by themselves for a while?

So… YES! Emily and Stephen are still married and will continue to be married for a long, long, time!

Enjoy! :)

moo!
