Congrats Kirti and Anshu!


























The beautiful couple is actually going to be married in India come February, but they hosted an engagement party for Stateside friends and family at the King and Prince Resort on St. Simons Island on the Georgia coast. It was a party centered around having fun with friends and family. Lena and I stayed at their family-owned hotel in Brunswick and had a lot of fun. After 10, the couple even invited us to put our cameras down and join in the dancing! Lena got carried around on the shoulders of an enthusiastic uncle and I learned how to dance Hindi-style. Overall, one of the best events we've ever shot!

Congrats Katie and Levi!
















Katie and Levi were wed at Oakhurst Baptist Church in Decatur, my home town. Though the couple currently lives in Portland, Oregon, they came back to their home town to get married. The wedding was almost completely held indoors, which was a blessing. The weather was typically 'Atlanta,' so hot you started to sweat within five minutes of stepping outside. So hot it made you curse under your breath. So I'm glad we were inside first the church and then the Trolley Barn for the reception.

I had the honor of running into my high school science teacher, Joe Winterscheidt and his wife. I was too busy to really sit down and talk to him, but it was nice to see him and his wife. It's funny how your past bumps into you at the strangest times. It's funny how you can just pick up where you left off and get along so well. I wish we had had more time to talk.

Anyway, I hope you liked the photos, which will soon by on Pictage (www.pictage.com/394154). G'Day!

Atlanta weddings in July. Let the sweating commence! Heat aside, Lena and I got some amazing shots at the Biedenharn/Zins wedding held last Saturday at the Houston Mill House. Tina was the perfect bride, so beautiful that I joked with her that I gave her a 15% discount because she was so stunning. We took scads of portraits of her and worked hard on them in Photoshop to give them the polish they deserve.

The wedding was fabulous, the people polite and respectful, and the bride and groom obviously deeply in love. I have come to really admire the staff at the Houston Mill House, too. They are exceedingly professional, helpful and always well-dressed. Kudos to Melissa, the house director, for her advice and help during the wedding.

Congrats to Joey and Tina! Check out their photos.
