I am very excited to share this week’s blog post. I have known this couple for years now and just love them!  They are Joe and Tara from the Atlanta Artistic Wedding team!

Let’s start with a little history.  I first met Tara when she took some photography classes with me at Emory and was one of the best students I ever had.  She was very creative and driven. When I gave out an assignment she went over and beyond.  She has a very unique approach to photography and best of all for wedding photography she is great with people.  

After the classes were finished I asked Tara to start shooting weddings with me.  It is one of the best decisions I have ever made.  She has shot close to 100 weddings with me.  She does not shoot like me and that is why I like working with her.  She brings her own style.  When we shoot together the client gets a variety of shots with unique perspectives.

About a year ago Tara let me know that she and Joe were engaged!  I was really happy for them.  I have met Joe on many occasions and they make a great couple.  She told me they were having a destination wedding in the Caribbean at one of their favorite vacation spots but they wanted to have the wedding certificate in the U.S., and were planning on having a courthouse wedding before the formal wedding on the island with their friends and family.  She asked me if I would take a few photos at their courthouse wedding and I said “of course!”.  I was so honored and thrilled.  She told me they were getting married at the Fulton County Courthouse in February and I met them there. It was raining and security would not let me inside to take photos so I waited outside for them.  When they came out they were so excited!  I took a few photos of them outside the courthouse and backlit them with my flash.  The results reflected their fun and adventurous personalities.

If you were worrying about them not having a beautiful wedding,  I have enclosed a photo Tara sent me from her wedding on the island.  As you can see it was absolutely breathtaking and much better weather!
