You might remember Noelle and Patrick from their engagement session at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens last fall. This was one of those weddings that you just look forward to as a photographer. I had been in regular communication with them about the schedule leading up the wedding day and I knew everything was prepared. I also knew that Noelle and Patrick were going to be just stunning and most of all, Noelle is the epitome of joy to work with. Her enthusiasm is just amazing!
First off, I have to thank my great friend, Patrick, from PWP Studio for coming out to shoot with me. Patrick used to shoot weddings here in Atlanta for years but is now focussed solely on corporate photography and taking care of event photography for the Coca Cola’s and Microsoft’s of the world. It was fun seeing Patrick meld into my world for a day.
Check out this necklace… just… WOW!
And these Badgley Mischka shoes!
The super fabulous Formal Faces was taking care of hair and makeup for all the ladies…
Okay, I have to tell you… Noelle was about to hyperventilate when she realized that Patrick had given her this gift…
I’m fairly certain that Noelle can’t take a bad photo…
I love shooting at St Peter Chanel! It big and roomy and the light is so nice compared to most churches.
All of Noelle’s friends from Priscilla of Boston in Atlanta were there to bustle her dress, which was quite the feat!
Okay, there’s a story here… we decided to grab a few photos outside just after the sun had set… it’s past 9pm and it was still SOOOO hot outside. After just a few minutes Noelle hikes up her dress to cool off a little bit. I just love Patrick’s reaction in the first photo. Of course, we decided to make the best of the situation.
For the photographers reading this: this is completely available light. In fact, the Nikon D3 is such a crazy good camera that I had to add all that grain in Photoshop Lightroom. That’s f/2.8, 1/60s @ISO 5000 and I pulled another stop and 1/2 in Lightroom so that’s roughly ISO 15,000…
Congratulations Noelle & Patrick!
