We agreed to meet at Barrington Hall in Roswell at 7:30am at sunrise. They were real sports! It started out very chilly and Sarah was wearing a beautiful white sundress that looked great on her but I know it was cold. Evan and Sarah did not complain one bit! As the shoot went on they started to appreciate the early morning start time and the low light that comes when you start to shoot in the morning and get that early morning/sunrise light.

When you are setting up a surprise proposal there is a lot of planning but at the same time you have to be flexible in the moment. We made time in the evening to plan the proposal. He said he had a reservation for 7pm at 9 Mile Station.

Read MoreThe Next Stage Of Life For Atlanta Couple
A few years ago I had the honor of shooting Rachel and Alfred’s wedding at Callanwolde. They were such a great couple and so thoughtful to each other.
Now fast forward to a couple of months ago and Rachel contacted me and let me know that she is pregnant! I was so excited for them. I usually don’t do maternity photoshoots but if you were a couple of mine I would do it because it is so cool to see these couples in the next stage of their lives. After chatting with Rachel we decided to move the date to about 1 month before she was due.
It is such an honor being an Atlanta wedding photographer and getting to document people's milestones throughout life. This is the third maternity shoot of one of my couples and is always a treat. I can’t wait until my next couple's maternity shoot!

Atlanta Wedding Photographers Master the Light
As an Atlanta wedding photographer I think the most rewarding and challenging wedding photography is shooting at night. You have to be very aware of the ambient light and know how to bring light to a bride or couple.
Blue Hour = Dramatic Wedding Photographs
When I mentioned ambient light that means the existing light. The existing light can be the light from the room, dj’s lights, or the night sky. My favorite kind of night sky is the blue hour. It happens about 20 minutes after sunset. You have to time it perfectly. When you have timed it just right you can have some dramatic results. You can see that I do that often during my weddings. You just set up the lights and tap the couple on the shoulder and they step outside for 3 minutes and they have a beautiful dramatic portrait.

Read MorePayne-Corley House Is An Atlanta Wedding Photographer's Dream
This week’s blog is on the Payne-Corley House. As an Atlanta wedding photographer at atlantaartisticweddings it is one of my favorite places to shoot. It is located in the Duluth Historic District right across the street from the train tracks that go through downtown.
While all these physical upgrades make for a beautiful venue where Payne-Corley shines is in its staff and their event training. Krista and Mike together have over 60 years of experience in event planning. Their gracious staff make every guest feel at home and at ease. They are quick and know how to think on their feet. I particularly remember them accommodating a wedding on one of the rare occasions when it snowed in Duluth.
