Shout Out to A-Train

Today's blog post is a shout out to a fellow member of The Athens Wedding Professionals.  Athens's A-Train Band is a five-piece instrumental group with a female vocalist.  They do swing, jazz, ballads, latin, boogie, blues and some other styles upon request.

A good band makes for a great reception, so I like to recommend these guys whenever possible!

(See the wedding they were playing at in this post.)

Kim & Jim

Kim and Jim (Entropy's bassist) were married on December 29th at Callanwolde in Atlanta.



Kim gets the royal treatment as all of her bridesmaids help her into her gown.



Jim & Kim chose to see each other before the ceremony. This gave us a chance to get a few photos outside before the sun went down.











Jim was so lucky - the old bass player for Entropy flew in and stepped in for Jim so that he could have his own band play his wedding reception!

Kim and Jim wanted to take a "self portrait" so I handed over the fish eye lense.

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.
