A big thank you to Atlanta and the team at Atlanta Artistic Weddings!

Since it is close to Thanksgiving, I wanted to write a blog on being thankful.  I was looking at our instagram page and I noticed that we are up to 1,000 posts!

I am so thankful to Heather who is in charge of social media and is editor of the website.  She is the one that writes all those posts on Instagram.  I have gotten many compliments on her posts.  It was Heather’s idea to have Fun Fact Friday!  I look forward to her Friday posts.  I have shot 100s of weddings but I still learn something every Friday!  She shares insights about weddings and historical background on many wedding traditions.  You feel smarter after checking out her Friday posts.

She is also one of my favorite people to bounce ideas off of.   She is a very smart, caring and  sensitive person who gives me insight that I never thought of.  I need Heather’s keen perspective when I am trying to write a blog or choosing marketing photos.  She gives me a woman's perspective which I so sorely need!

If you have been noticing the blog over the last year or so they are so much better.  That is once again because of Heather.  I can honestly say she has made me a better writer and helped me get my ideas across in the blog section of our site.  Before Heather started editing the blog you would have thought a 12 year old was writing the blog with an old Crayon.  The blog is more concise and thought out.  I feel so much better after she has edited my writing.  You always need a second set of eyes when you are writing.  Not that I am one of them but some of the best writers in the world say that their editor makes them better writers.

Heather has been a God send to the Atlanta wedding photographers at AtlantaArtsiticWeddings.com.  She has been a cheerleader to the photographers and Lizzie our photo editor/designer.  When I look at the improvements in our website and our social media it is because of our hero Heather.  Thank you Heather for your wedding insights and help!    

I also would like to thank another person behind the scenes, Lizzie.  I have been working with Lizzie for about 6 years now.  We met at work and have become like family.  She is one of the smartest people I know.  She is a very talented designer.  I was getting overwhelmed with editing all the weddings and asked her for help.  She stepped right on up and was awesome!  If you are greatful that you get your wedding photos so quickly you can thank Lizzie!  

When you are going through a wedding it is nice to have someone else look at the photos.  When Lizzie is editing she is bringing a female’s perspective and fresh eye to the editing process.   She is a great example of someone who is always striving to be better and doing her best to bring you the photos you will cherish for a lifetime.  People like her make me a better photographer too!

Speaking of making me a better photographer, that is where Sarah comes in.  About 7 years ago I received an email from a photographer just out of school and she wanted to shoot weddings.  That email was from Sarah.  I rarely shot with a second wedding photographer when she contacted me.  I thought let's give it a try and see what happens.  It was one of the best decisions I have ever made.  Sarah is a very talented photographer that brings so much to the table when I am working with her.  She has such a keen eye and subtle way of shooting.  While I am like a game show host pumping up the wedding party she is like a bride whisperer who captures those quiet and tender moments that make up the day.  When I am shooting the formal shots Sarah is silently shooting from the side and always gets the better shot!

I am so grateful to Sarah. When looking at Sarah’s photos it reminds me to slow down and listen.  To be present on the wedding day and pay attention to the details.  She has been beside me during some of my wildest weddings.   She has taught me so much.  I have even switched camera brands because of her!  Thank you Sarah for teaching me so much and showing me a different way of looking at wedding photography and life.

There is one more person I would like to thank and that is Tara!  Tara took some of my photography classes at Emory Continuing Education.  She was the most talented photographer in the class.

I have shot over 50 weddings with Tara now.  She has been a real trooper and has been with me at some of the most emotional weddings that I have ever shot.  She has a great eye at finding locations to shoot and being there when the going gets rough.  We have literally shot in the rain together and I did not hear her complain one time.  She knows how to get the shot when you need it most.  She is a superstar! I love shooting with Tara and do not know what I would do without her!  Thank you so much for all you do Tara!

I am so blessed to be part of such a talented team! Each person has a different strong point and together we make up a team of diverse talents that make each one of us better.
