it’s scary how much karen + brad have in common with us – it made their engagement session easy + fun! we’re pumped to shoot their wedding next month!

karen + brad: let’s grab some blizzards again soon! :)

chris + allie

we’ve  known keri for a long time. her brother jered is one of chris’ best friends! we had  a great time shooting around marietta square and then enjoying some awesome pizza after!

their wedding will be one of the first we’ll shoot after hank gets here – can’t wait!

keri + blake: had a blast with you two, the wedding will be here before you know it! :)

i’m so excited for this post. tracy always comments on the blog and we love her for it. i’m sure it will be fun for her to see herself on here! :)

and as for mark… it was his first time, but real men wear pink.

we hadn’t done this in a while. mark loved it so much we thought we’d give it another try!

tracy + mark: you guys are so much fun – we can’t wait for the wedding!

lacey + matt were brave and went exploring with us in west atlanta for their engagement shoot – it was a nice change of scenery! oh, and how cute are they??

a little dance action – we won’t name the song, but maybe you can guess. :)

lacey + matt: we had such a great time hanging out with you guys. can’t wait for the wedding!

so, we learned a few things from this contest.

one: there are some amazing people out there who deserve to have their life documented.

two: we love our facebook fans.

three: we underestimated how many people out there would vote!

728 comments came in to vote for the 3 amazing finalists in our facebook contest! because we’re a little new at contests – and didn’t have a clue that we’d get this many votes – there was a little confusion as to how to tally all of them. it was ridiculously close. so, we’re awarding two sessions under different categories:

the most votes from different email addresses goes to…. #1!!

the most votes from different ip addresses goes to…….. #3!!

yay! and just because #2 was awesome as well, we’re giving them a mini-session in atlanta.

thank you so much to everyone who participated. if you are one of the winners, make sure to contact us by email and we’ll start the planning process. we’ll be having more of these contests, so make sure to sign up as a fan on our facebook page! we should have a “contest plan” implemented by then and things will go much smoother!

check back to see the sessions with our winners!

chris + allie

voting is now closed! we will only use valid emails to tally votes.

for those of you who were worried, single ip addresses with multiple email addresses will be counted.

hopefully we’ll have a winner tomorrow. good luck to our final 3!

“i would like to win a session for my borther and his family. my brother’s wedding was supposed to happen back in 2002, but due to unforeseen circumstances, they had to cancel it the morning of their wedding. my brother and sister-in-law eventually got married later on that year in an impromptu, smaller wedding. as a result, they never had any wedding pictures, videos, or anything of the sort to document their special day. although they’re now blessed with a 6 year old, 3 year old, and a newborn, they’ve endured a lot of hardships so far in their 8 year marriage. they’ve done a lot for me in the past, so this would be my way of giving something back to them. my idea for a photoshoot would be to have some romantic pics taken of the two of them – maybe in a park – and then have a shoot with their entire family at chuckie cheese. my nephews and niece are super adorable – you know you want to do a session with them! :)”

“hey y’all!!!! i want to win!!! well… actually, i would like our band to win!! where to begin… on an early, sunday morning, a young girl was walking through the booths of a bridal show thinking about what her perfect wedding day would be like. now this girls was not like any other excited bride shopping for the traditional look, oh no!! she wanted something more… something special and different. she wanted the best photographers in the world!! she knew they were out there somewhere, but it seemed like everywhere she turned was chaos and mayhem! ugly photography everywhere!!! oh the pain it caused her to see such ordinary pictures. her heart was broken. :( then suddenly, as she began to leave, her eyes came across a crazy loud blonde headed man with a camera. all of the sudden she felt an overwhelming sense that she must go to the blonde man for he would have the answers! as she approached, it was like a ray of sun shone down from the heavens over the blonde mans’ booth.! was this it? was this the photography that her heart so longed for? suddenly, as she stepped up to the booth, the blonde man approached her and said, “hi, i’m chris, and this is my wife allie.” it was then that the girl knew she was saved! she had found her life long photographers and would be with them til death do them part. now the girl has gotten older and had joined a band. once again she seeks the power of her photographers. she has a long journey ahead. yes, it will be hard. and yes, it will be long. but she knews that what ever pictures she might need in her life, that the reason will always keep her on the right path. so i ask you with a heavy heart… please make my band look good!!!!”

i have always enjoyed browsing your website and peeking into the lives of all the people wearing such cute shoes. :) my favorite aspect of your work is how you seem to capture genuine emotions. it makes it enjoyable to look at, even when i don’t know the people. i’m oping to one day invest in photos of our own. my stay-at-home-mom status puts a damper on that for now, but one day. ten years ago this july i met my husband while doing summer mission work in central america. it rains a lot in the jungle, and every night we talked while watching the thunderstorms roll in. sometimes it rained so loud we couldn’t hear each other talk, so we just sat and listened. one day i noticd him soaking wet playing with a group of kids in the pouring rain. it was the kind of rain if you’re from alabama would be labelled a gully washer. :) i was the fuddy-dud trying to stay dry while he splashed and played. the kids loved it, and eventually i joined in and loved it too. it was in some of those little moments that we fell in love. two years later at our wedding, adam sang me a song he wrote about how he found himself in “the dance in the rain.” fast forward ten years later and we’re “dancing in the rain” with our own kids. i still find myself trying to stay dry and sometimes miss some of the little moments. i would love a photo shoot to remind me of how fun the little moments are. also, to show how our lives in ten years have come full circle. a photo shoot dancing in the rain would be a treasure! of course, there would have to be cute shoes or bright rain boots and bare feet with our pants rolled up jumping in puddles. congratulations on 1000 fans!

a couple in love with planes… and each other, of course. :)
