When we had coffee with Eleanor and Eric a couple months back, we couldn’t believe how laid-back they were about their upcoming wedding.  They sat at the table with the calmest, most serene expressions, clearly just happy to be together, and anticipating their future together.  We were sure that they would get at least a little bit frenzied by the wedding day, but instead they were just as calm as they’d been eight weeks before — still relaxed and ready to become husband and wife!

Jennifer and Stephanie from Bob Steele Salon did Eleanor’s hair and makeup.  See those eyelashes?  Those are 100% Eleanor’s.  Amazing.

Dan photographed Eric and his groomsmen getting ready at Midtown’s luxurious W Hotel…

At First Presbyterian Atlanta…  I’ve heard a lot of women say that they first felt like a bride when they put on their veil.  I’m not sure if that’s how Eleanor felt, but she definitely walked around like a princess from the minute the veil went over her hair!

The groomsmen…

LOVE how this little guy put his hand in his jacket!

Eric…

The bridesmaids…

I’m not sure what these flowers are, but the bouquets designed by Kathy with Parties to Die For were absolutely stunning!

Eleanor…

I love Dan’s overhead shot of Eleanor walking down the aisle with her father…

The newlyweds…

Just a short walk across 16th St. took Eleanor and Eric from the church to the High Museum of Art for their wedding reception!

Their first dance…

Eleanor and her dad…

Hand-rolled sushi and fresh stir-fry from Woodruff Center’s Restaurant Associates filled the guest’s bellies!

CAKE!

My heart melted when I saw this shot of Eleanor that Dan captured, while she and Eric were cutting their wedding cake.  Little moments like this are what make our job so special!

Bubbles to end the night!

Eleanor and Eric, thank you so much for being so INCREDIBLY laid-back and wonderful to photograph!  It was an honor to celebrate with you!

We must beg your forgiveness. I told you in a previous post about the new blog design that it would not really affect you the reader, but that turned out to not be entirely true.

There are some different things happening with our RSS feed now, partially due to the new blog, and if you were previously subscribed, you’ll now have to re-subscribe because the old feed no longer works. Again, we’re really sorry about this, a totally lame error on our part. So, if you would like to be subscribed to our blog, the new feed can be accessed by the following link, and copied into your RSS reader of choice:

With all that, you’ve probably noticed the addition of the RSS subscription bar at the top of our page. This is mostly an easy way for new readers and old to subscribe to our blog and keep up with our posts. Props to Mike Davidson for the idea and the code behind this neat little “widget”.

If you’re not using an RSS reader, you really should consider it! It gives you a nice organized way to keep up with all your favorite sites and blogs without having to manually visit every individual site. If you’d like to try an RSS but aren’t sure where to start, we highly recommend Google Reader. If that doesn’t fit your fancy, you may also want to check out Bloglines.

Now everything is working properly, and we’re looking at smooth RSS sailing from now on. We hope.
