Engagement Session in Atlanta and Roswell Georgia

Engagement photography by the Atlanta wedding photographers at AtlantaArtisticWeddings

As an Atlanta wedding photographer, I love shooting engagement sessions. This week I shot a very special couple whom I have known for a couple of years. When they said that they wanted me to be their wedding photographer, I was so honored! I could not wait to to start shooting with them.

We shot at several different locations outside of Atlanta and around Roswell, Georgia. We started in the morning at Leita Thompson Park. It is a cozy little park with lots of beautiful walking trails and an intimate little playground with benches. The walking trails go for miles with some rolling hills, which makes for some gorgeous scenery.

That being said, we also love an occasion that celebrates love, like Valentine’s Day, which is coming up this weekend. Valentine’s Day is an extremely popular holiday with a rich history, so I wanted to explore a little about the origins of the holiday and the meaning behind the well-known traditions associated with the day.

Atlanta Wedding Photographers Explain Why We Do What We Do

by David Diener

The beginning of 2021 has been a year of reflection for this Atlanta wedding photographer, and not because of the politics or pandemic, though they are certainly on everyone’s mind. I am also thinking of why I do what I do. I look at the past and what has brought me to where I am at now. I look back at what has inspired me to to what I do.

How Less Is More: Finding Tradition And Meaning In Elopements

While this type of ceremony may not be what every couple imagines when thinking about their wedding, there are some really neat, unique aspects that can be incorporated into these simple, yet elegant, ceremonies to make them incredibly meaningful. After all, you’re still marrying the love of your life and you still have a reason to celebrate!
