This time of year as a Atlanta wedding photographer, I reflect back on all the weddings that I photographed in 2023.  I am humbled by being a small part of such special occasions.  There have been couples getting married late in life and younger couples just starting out on their journey together.  All of them have been such a joy.

One of the first weddings of this year was close to my heart.   Tara, my second Atlanta photographer, got married at the Dekalb courthouse to longtime boyfriend Joe.  They were going out of the country to have a reception with the family and friends but wanted to get married in the states before they left so they got their marriage license at the courthouse.  It happened to rain on that day but that did not dampen their mood.  We took some playful photos outside the courthouse and I gave them some champagne to celebrate their first night as a married couple.

When things started getting warmer in the spring we had lots of engagement shoots.  We had Rebecca and Jon who were getting married in October.  Two weeks later we had Collin and Taylor.  Collin was doing a surprise wedding proposal at Ponce City Market. It was a beautiful day and Taylor was totally taken off guard.  She eagerly said yes when Collin asked her to be his wife.  Then there were David and Lauren's engagement photos at Oakland Cemetery.  You may think that that is a strange place to take engagement photos but actually it is a beautiful historic cemetery with lots of brick and stone walkways, old stone walls, old magnolias and beautiful flowers.  It was very charming and fun.  Then there was Saainya and Faizen who wanted to do a Bollywood engagement session at the railway museum in Duluth.  It was a hoot reenacting the scenes from their favorite movies growing up.

Then it was time for our spring weddings.  There was Jaylen and Megan's wedding at White Fox Cottage.  I have known Meagan since she was a little girl and it was great to see her get married to such a wonderful man like Jaylen.  Her family have been close friends of ours for over 20 years so it was such a treat to photograph her wedding. It was like a class reunion seeing everyone again.

There were a couple of weddings this year with furry friends represented.  We had Lindsay and Ryan’s wedding with their dog Harper at the Epicurean Hotel in downtown Atlanta.  Harper led the way as Lindsay and Ryan came down the aisle.  Harper was dapperly dressed with a bow, tutu and flowers.  She was the belle of the fall.  Then there was Shane and Allison and their dog Dizzy. Dizzy was a true champ.  She was comforting Allison on her wedding day and a friend to guests and the wedding party.

Then there were the older couples that got married this year who taught me you are never too old to fall in love! There was Art and Judith who met each other a couple of years ago after Art lost his wife to cancer.  They started out as friends and quickly fell in love.  Mohamed and Monika met as friends also.  Mohamed was smitten with Monika and won her over with his charms.  They had a small elegant wedding at the Georgian Terrace that was attended by a few friends and family.

So many weddings and so many memories.  It was an honor to do so many unique and exceptional weddings with such wonderful and kind people.  I am looking forward to what 2024 brings!
