So, in the spirit of seriously trying to get my blog up to date, I think it’s time I posted Michelle and Matt’s engagement photos from our Cator Woolford shoot last month (yeah, I did say last month).  They brought along Michelle’s dog, Ella, who very much enjoyed the gardens, even if she could have cared less about the photos!  Those who know me (and have been to my house for a consultation) know that I have three dogs (a small, medium and extra large) who sit somewhat patiently behind the french door to the kitchen while we meet.  There are permanent snout marks on the glass panes that just aren’t worth cleaning off every day.  So, as you can imagine, I’m always more than happy to have the couples I work with bring a long their canine friends to the engagement shoot.  Michelle number 2 (as I called her), Matt’s sister was kind enough to come along as doggie walker so we could get some shots that were a little more couple like.   Check back in the fall to see Michelle and Matt’s wedding photos from their wedding at Holy Spirit!

Spring has finally sprung in Atlanta and the flowers at Cator Woolford were in full bloom when we shot Meredith and Bert’s engagement photographs this week.  After all the rain and cold of the winter we were all three loving the warm springy day and we had a blast during their shoot.  As the sun set, we got this glorious pink sky that lit up behind them.  We shot until it was so dark my lens would no longer focus!  These guys are getting married in Westpoint, GA on May 22nd and then moving up to Washington DC where Bert has been for the last 18 months.  I’m looking forward to going down for the wedding which is being planned with lots of traditional family elements including a reception on Meredith’s parents’ property where Meredith grew up and where her Mom grew up before her.  But don’t expect photos of a backyard barbecue!  From the sounds of the planning, it’s going to be a beautiful affaire!  You can see photos from that in the weeks that follow the wedding.  Also, check back soon for Meredith’s bridal session.  She’s wearing her mother’s gown, so it should be a real treat!
