We’ve been very anxiously waiting the last few months for the stork to deliver this one! I’m super stoked about the latest issue of Occasions Magazine. We have 14 luscious pages of images captured at the beautiful Atlanta landmark, the Swan House, with florals by the A-MAY-ZING Danny from The Savage Garden and stunning hair/makeup by Raney O’Keefe.
I’ll be posting a bunch of images from the shoot in a few days, but for now take a look at the images Heather Vreeland chose for the magazine:
While you’re at it, check out the Catering spread starting on page 26 and Hayden’s birthday party photos they featured on page 130. Oh… and check out our back cover advertisement for Ben Vigil Photographers featuring Erika & Leroy atop the one an only Ventana’s rooftop venue styled/coordinated by Eliana from ellyB Events…
How cool is that!!!

I’ve gotten to know Eliana Baucicault with ellyB Events through our work in the Atlanta wedding industry so I was happy when she introduced me to Erika and Leroy. Eliana and I have worked together on a few occasions but this was our first wedding together and she did a fabulous job keeping everything running smoothly. But I’m getting ahead of myself…
You may remember Erika and Leroy from their engagement session earlier this year. One of the most important aspects of their wedding and photos for Leroy was that he wanted to make sure that Atlanta was represented. With that in mind, they chose the Ventana’s rooftop venue for their reception location. I’ve shot at Ventanas a number of times but this was my first wedding there so I was uber excited.
And this is why… does the view get much better than this?
My good friend and amazing photographer, Shawna Herring, was on hand to 2nd shoot with me. It’s been a long time coming so I was absolutely delighted to have her along.
Enjoy a few more photos…
As usual, there’s a whole host of vendors that are working together to make a beautiful wedding like this take place.

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!
