Engaged: Ashley and Bryan

Posted in Engagements

This is going to sound so cliche’… but I am going to say it anyways. After years of watching people in planning weddings and getting married, I have come to believe that the marker of a man in true, real, so-deep-it-hurts kind of love is the way he looks at his bride. I have been known to be completely paralyzed at times – stopped in the corner of a church with my camera covering my face crying – because of how some Grooms look at their Brides. Like she’s the most amazing treasure that they ever could have dreamed of. Like they are the luckiest man in the world. Like they are so excited to spend the rest of their lives letting this person know just how much they mean to him. That is how Bryan looks at Ashley. And they are really lucky that I didn’t just collapse into a little, sniveling ball and start sobbing during their engagement shoot. It’s that precious.

Ashley and Bryan – Thank you so much for spending the evening with us and making us double-over with laughter so many times. We are so excited for your Wedding Day!!! Much Love – G+A

Married: Jessica and David

Posted in Weddings

 It all started with a dress. Not their relationship, per se, but the ones that came before them. The relationships that paved the way – taught them how to love and how to stay committed to a marriage. The dress; made of silk and lace and so much more, belonged to her grandmother, and then was worn by her mom and Aunts. It is a dress that has meant so much to so many people, not because of what a beautiful piece of clothing it is, but because of what it means to their family. And that foundation; that dedication to love… that is where it all started.

Ceremony and Reception Location: Legacy Farms / Bride’s Dress: Vintage / Bride’s Reception Dress: Priscilla of Boston / Bridal Salon: Priscilla of Boston / Bride’s Veil: Taylor Clark Bridals / Bride’s Hair: Whitney Johnson / Makeup: Candi with Bombshell / Groom’s Suit: JoS. A. Bank / Floral Design: The Enchanted Forest /Cake: The Bake Shoppe / DJ: Southern Style / Videographer: Jake Morgan Films

David and Jessica – Thank you so much for inviting us to be a part of such a gorgeous day. It was filled with an incredible amount of love and kinship, and we were beyond blessed to be there. We hope that you had fun in Australia, and we wish you so many wonderful things as you start this adventure together! So Much Love – G+A

Welcome to the World Baby Maddie:

Posted in Newborn, Portraits

Two weeks ago this big World got a little bit more beautiful. Our new niece, Madelyn Zoe Strahan, came into the world at a healthy 7 pounds 6 ounces. Her timing couldn’t have been better since her Aunt Ashley and Uncle Graham were shooting a Wedding in Nashville that weekend, so we got to spend a lot of quality snuggle time with her while we were there! There was a lot of kissing and hugging and smelling (is it creepy that I like to smell new babies? no. i didn’t think so.) I also got to pull out my camera and take a few newborn pictures for her.

Maddie – You can’t read this. But one day you’ll be able to. Actually, you’ll probably be able to read by the time you’re one because your sister loves to read so much and I’m sure she’ll be a wonderful teacher. But I digress. You are beautiful. Like – light-up-the-room, to-the-moon-and-back beautiful. I love you so much already (and not just because you smell like a wittle bitty baby). I am so thankful that I get to watch you grow, take you shopping and take you to get your first tattoo (just kidding, lauren);)Love you Little Lady – Aunt Ashley

Thank you Ashley for taking pictures of our precious little girl! So glad you guys are a part of her life! And if my little Maddie one day decided to get a tatoo, I would hope she would ask you to take her!! Love you guys!

She is just perfect! You are not alone in loving the smell of babies. I never understood it until I had my own. Now I love newborn sessions when I get to snuggle with them!

Kevin and Lauren – Thank you so much for spending the evening with us. It was awesome to get to meet you and hear about your adventures. Welcome to Atlanta!! We look forward to seeing you soon! Blessings – G+A
