Read MoreAtlanta Wedding Photographers Capture Fun Bollywood Engagement Session
As an Atlanta wedding photographer I get all kinds of requests. A few weeks ago Saainya and Faizan contacted me and wanted to do a pre wedding photo session. I asked her what she meant by that and she said she wanted to do a Bollywood themed photoshoot at a train station then a food based shoot at a restaurant since they were foodies.
We contacted the Southern Railway Museum located south of Duluth and asked if it was ok to shoot there and they said yes as long as you are not bringing some big lights. I decided it would be best to start in the morning on the square in downtown Duluth, since they have so many great restaurants and there are many photo locations within walking distance.

Read MoreAtlanta Wedding Photographers Love Engagement Sessions
I have talked to many Atlanta wedding photographers. They all like getting to know their bride and grooms before the wedding. The best way to do that is with an engagement session. During an engagement session you have time to talk. You can ask questions and get a feel for what the couple is comfortable with, like are they comfortable in crowds and showing affection in public. I also ask them how they met each other. That is a good starting point for an interesting conversation. If they become comfortable with me sometimes I will ask them who said “I love you” first. That can tell a lot about the couple too.

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.
