Sara and Pierce and I have been trying to schedule their engagement session for months.  For one reason or another, it simply kept falling through.   We were ready to go last Friday night when Atlanta weather decided otherwise.  Luckily we were all available the next evening and although the weather was a bit sketchy, we decided to take the gamble.  We got a few raindrops throughout the shoot, but we got a wonderful surprise as well – a double rainbow!  It looked like it went from one side of Piedmont Park to the other.  While we didn’t great shots of both rainbows (the second being pretty faint) we got glorious ones of the main one.  In addition, the dramatic skies added a lot to the photos.  Fortunately, the park clears out very quickly when there’s a threat of rain and with the exception of a few people staying dry under the gazebo, we pretty much had the place to ourselves.  All in all, it was a great night.  I’ll be photographing their wedding in July at Peachtree Christian Church and their reception at the Georgia Tech Alumni House (Pierce is an alum).  Check back then to see what the big day looked like!

I met Lindsey and Chris as they did their world wind wedding trip to Atlanta over the holidays picking, not just a photographer, but all of their other vendors as well.  They live in Boston and are coming back south to get married (Lindsey is from Atlanta and her parents are still here) at the end of April.  A great couple – one of those you can imagine celebrating their 50th together – we had a fun shoot one morning in December at Piedmont Park.  Most all Atlanta wedding photographers shoot a lot of engagement sessions in Piedmont Park, but it’s just so pretty with lots of areas for interesting photos, that I enjoy it every time I go back there.  That day was no exception – although it was sooooo cold.  Without Lindsey’s glove/mitten thingys, that she so graciously loaned me, I would still be fighting frostbite!  Check back for their wedding photos in late April!
