Erica & Jonathan

Erica & Jonathan got married last weekend at The Bethany Baptist Church in Bolingbroke, GA.








The lighting of the unity candle is a really special part of many ceremonies, and a favorite tradition of mine.



Erica gets a congratulatory hug from her niece who was one of the flower girls.  I really think that spontaneous moments like this are very important and special to the families I photograph.





Congratulations to Erica and Jonathan.

The Echo Project

The Echo Project is a music festival that was held just outside of Atlanta last weekend.   The Echo Project wasn't just about music, but also community building and environmental awareness.  Before the festival, volunteers cleaned the Chattahoochee River.   There were also alternative fuel sources used to power the festival.  Check out their web site to read more.

I didn't get to go to the whole festival, but was able to photograph two of my favorite bands -- Dubconscious and Entropy.


Hawk from Entropy.  I love to capture the movement and energy of the music.



Jim from Entropy - too cool for words.

Jennifer & Ryan

Jennifer & Ryan got married at The State Botanical Garden of Georgia. The day chapel has great light, giving it a nice warm glow.

I love to see the expression of a newly married couple!



Grandma was sure excited to see the beautiful bride. My favorite part of shooting weddings is capturing the genuine emotions of the new couple, their friends and family.



Squat is an Athens based jazz band. They had the whole room dancing all night long.






This kiss is just the beginning of Jennifer and Ryan's "happily ever after!"
