I’m SO excited to have won 1st place in the Wedding Photojournalist Association’s Summer 2006 Competition! The category is “Bouquet/Garter”, and the photograph was taken at Caroline and Stowe’s wedding in April of this year.

You can view my award-winning entry, as well as all of the other contest winners HERE. (Select the “Bouquet/Garter” category to see my image!)

Congratulations, to Caroline and Stowe, whose photos now seem to be popping up all over the place! ;)
And thanks to all of our lovely newlyweds and soon-to-be’s for your support!

The Happy Couple: Amanda Groover and Bill Hyland

The Venue: “R” Ranch in the Dahlonega, GA mountains

The DJ: jB JAMS, Entertainment & Events (FUN FUN FUN! These guys were terrific!)

The Video: Wages Video (Paul Wages was incredible! Very unobtrusive… we loved him!)

Amanda & Bill’s wedding may have been smack in the middle of summer, but the temperature dropped to nearly 50 degrees in the Dahlonega mountains where they had their wedding! We were more-or-less well-prepared with warm coats, so we did ok. The poor wedding party (especially Amanda and her bridesmaids!) faced the weather bravely ;)

Amanda & Bill are certainly one of the most photogenic couples we’ve worked with yet – we didn’t have a single image of them blinking or making weird faces! (Seriously, guys, it’s like you’re super-human!!!)

Congratulations, Amanda & Bill!

We’ve been looking forward to this for several weeks now! Brides Atlanta magazine selected several of our photographs for their premier issue, which hit newstands this past weekend. You can pick up your own copy at a local Borders.

Photographs from our Tamala & Lincoln’s wedding were featured in Brides Atlanta’s “Real Weddings” section, alongside only three other Atlanta weddings!

As Brides Atlanta is a new publication, we weren’t sure what to expect when we picked up the magazine. We’re thrilled to see our name and images in print! However, we would like to share the full-size images from Tamala & Lincoln’s wedding; the magazine-versions just didn’t do their beautiful wedding justice!

Also in this edition of Brides Atlanta was an image from Caroline & Stowe’s wedding . . .

. . . and a photograph from Erika & Brian’s wedding . . .

. . . and a teensy-weensy image from Julie & Phil’s wedding at Rhodes Hall . . .

Much thanks to our most WONDERFUL newlyweds, whose beautiful, creative wedding celebrations were the source of these photographs! We’re so excited to share your images with the Atlanta community!

Much love,
