Shelly & Sam at Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park

One thing that’s nice about this blog, my portfolio and the world of communications we live in, is that when I meet a couple for their engagement session or their wedding day they have a pretty high level of confidence that I’m going to make them look their best. They’ve seen the imagery we create wedding after wedding and session after session here on the blog. But what DOES always surprise me is when a couple has the same confidence in themselves. Most people aren’t used to having photos taken of themselves and have enough stress built up that they have to climb that wall and get over that mental hurdle at least enough to relax and enjoy the time they have with the love of their life.

Not so with Shelly and Sam! They were relaxed and confident the moment we arrived at Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park last month. The main lawn of the park was closed for an event that day but we had a great time and there are plenty of places all around the park and next door at the World of Coke.

I can’t wait for their wedding next July with Lindsay Pitt from Toast Signature Celebrations coordinating everything.

Don’t they look like they’re having so much fun just hanging out together?!!

Erika & Leroy’s Engagement Session

I first met Erika through Eliana at ellyB Events earlier this year and they were one of many couples looking to get married on October 10 of this year… or better known as 10/10/10. When we were brainstorming ideas for their engagement session it was important to Leroy that we did it in an area known as an Atlanta landmark. So what better place than Centennial Olympic Park, Atlanta’s standing tribute to the 1996 Olympic Games hosted here in Atlanta!

Here’s my favorite shot of the couple…

I asked them to sit on the bench and just be themselves while I played paparazzi. When I returned, they said they were trying to figure out where I had gone to. This is where I went…

It just so happened that a kite festival was taking place in the park… how cool is that?

We made a little jaunt over to Atlantic Station and snapped a few few cool images at the new monument they built.

By the end of the session Leroy was all loosened up, playing casanova and hamming it up. I had to include this one! :)

Erika and Leroy, I can’t wait for your wedding in just a few short months!
