Shawnte and John

After what was a very busy summer of weddings for me, this was one of the last for the season.  At least the last of the big weddings until mid fall.  On September 21st Shawnte and John tied the knot in Lovejoy, Georgia.  Shawnte was a very practical bride and did not really care for the fancy trappings of normal weddings and John was willing to just go along with whatever she desired for her special day.  Her Mom and her extremely efficient wedding planners, Ciao Bella Weddings, were the glue that held the whole occasion together and in the end it turned out to be a wonderful closing of the summer.

The Georgia Aquarium

Okay, I know that I have a lot of catching up to do in terms of getting my posts online.  However I do have to show some of my stuff every now and then.  This set was from a trip I took Atlanta's newish aquarium downtown with the family.  I will have to return alone someday though so I can really take advantage of the many photo opportunities at the facility.  Hope you enjoy the few shots posted here.

Erica and Donnell

This beautiful couple got married down in Valdosta Georgia this fall.  They had a huge gathering of family and friends for the occasion with many traveling from the Northeast just to enjoy the evening with them.  I personally enjoyed my few days in Valdosta as there is nothing like mingling with good old folks from the deep south and filling up on that great homely southern cooking!

Reshand and Keyla

After many years of "talking" about getting married Reshand and Keyla finally jumped the broom.  Here are a few shots from their engagement photo shoot.  Shameless plug;  I provide FREE engagement shoots in all my wedding packages and each couple typically ends up with between 20 and 30 high resolution photos on CD for them to use however they choose.

Mary and Gerald

Mary and Gerald got married late summer near downtown Atlanta after dating off and on for what seems to them like a lifetime.  The Jimmy Carter Presidential Center served as the backdrop for the pictures shown here.  This was just after the ceremony and everyone seemed to be in a fun and joyous mood.

Jekyll Island

While exploring the state of Georgia back in the mid-eighties I practically stumbled on Jekyll Island very unintentionally.  I fell in love with the place immediately and have returned to rejuvenate my mind and soul many times since.  These shots are from my latest escape to the my special corner of the coast.  Hope you enjoy.

Wendell and Yolanda

On a lovely Saturday afternoon in early May Yolanda made a truly charming bride. Of course Wendell was more than willing to be the young man that was destined to become firmly cemented in every aspect of her future.  No one present could deny that they made an absolutely lovely couple.  It was my pleasure and privilege to shoot their special day at the Southland Country Club in the suburbs of Atlanta.
