Atlanta Wedding Professionals: June Luncheon
Okay, all my brides-to-be will have to forgive me for another industry related post. I promise that tomorrow I’ll get back to showing images of stunning brides… because on the deck for tomorrow is Sarah’s bridal session. I’ve had to embargo that one for a while and I’ve been anxious to share it.
Back to the subject at hand… every month Linda Surles (twitter | facebook) from the Bride & Groom Planner and Heather Vreeland (twitter | facebook) with Occasions Magazine team up to produce the Atlanta Wedding Professionals Networking Luncheon. I was excited about this months luncheon because it was being held at the Fox Theatre, Grand Salon Ballroom.
I’ve been to The Fabulous Fox many times for shows, but I’ve never shot or even set foot in the ballrooms and I finally got to see what I’ve been missing!
Our speaker was professional productivity expert Peggy Duncan (twitter), who I personally REALLY enjoyed listening to. She is the kind of disciplined person that makes me quake in my boots… as in, I’m ashamed to be in her presence quake in my boots kind of way.
These amazing florals were provided by Bloom Floral Design
Look at this amazing cake from Sharon Alexander at Sweet Sensations.
A BUNCH of industry friends were there but here’s just a few that I managed to grab. My apologies to the photogs that I didn’t get.
First up is Nadia with nadia d. photography who creates some awesome dramatic portraiture!
Next up is Laura with Artstar by Laura Stone, whom I famously told how annoyed I was by how good her photography was. It really is.
Next is the über chic Hollie with Lytle foto, who shot The Not Wedding recently and has been featured all over the national blogs.
And last, but not least, is David from Optimum Productions who helped shoot the behind the scene’s video for our recent Occasions Magazine cover shoot at the beautiful new 200 Peachtree in Atlanta. By the way, he’s single…

Occasions Magazine: Covers & Sneak Peek
This is three blog posts in one… Heather Vreeland (follow on twitter) has been busy over on the Occasions Magazine website with a few posts about our recent cover photoshoot at the beautiful new 200 Peachtree for the next issue of Occasions Magazine.
A couple weeks ago she posted a quick behind the scene’s post followed by a preview of the covers she selected for the next issue of the magazine. Here they are…
I can’t wait to show off the images we published as well as many more from the shoot and from behind the scenes over the next few weeks.
Today she posted a sneak peak from my friends Danny and David over at Optimum Productions, a quick behind the scenes video teaser… I can’t wait to see the entire behind the scene’s video!
Becky & Todd in Big Canoe
One thing that’s quite nice about wedding photographers in Atlanta is that contrary to what you might think, many of the established photographers are actually quite good friends. We get together to play poker, we refer business to each other and we even help each other out shooting weddings when we’re available. A few weekends ago was one of those times. I was happy to join Jason Spruill, a.k.a. Weddings by Jason, for a beautiful wedding in Big Canoe, GA.
Becky and Todd chose the perfect weekend to get married in Big Canoe. The dogwood trees were simply AMAZING… a week earlier and the trees would be mostly covered in buds and a week later the colors would be totally different. Here’s just a few of the images I captured for Jason on that day…
In case you’re wondering about this cake topper, it has a very special meaning for the couple. They were both on the same little league baseball team as children and they have the team photos to prove it. This was only one of the 5 cakes they had and while in the past I may have wondered why in the world anyone would want a baseball themed cake topper, I now know. And more than that, I absolutely loved it because I know the profound love they share and the depth that comes from knowing someone for as long as they have known each other…
