Cristina & Gabriel in Atlanta

Meet Cristina and Gabriel!

When I first met them at Cristina’s place in Midtown I knew right away that they’d be a joy to work with. They are both about as easy going and likable people as you’ll ever meet.

They got married at the Cathedral of Christ the King, by Father Neil, who just happens to be the brother of my wife’s friend’s sister’s husband. Whew, took me a second to write that. The reception was at the mighty Biltmore Imperial Ballroom. It was a joy to work with my new friend Mora Hostetter from Classic Weddings, who coordinated the entire affair and did a fabulous job. Affairs to Remember handled the catering and Catherine Walther did the beautiful florals (check out the slideshow).

My associate, Huy, was on hand to second shoot and Christina my awesome friend and former bride was there assisting.

Cristina and I spent a few minutes before the ceremony getting some beautiful images…

The kiss!

The next kiss! I just love this image in all it’s blurry glory.

Congratulations to Laura and David who were the most gracious hosts! Wow, what a wedding. Susan Graham and her team along with Bold American and everybody else from the stylists to the band pulled out all the stops and made it a weekend to remember for Laura and David. Chris and Katie from 6ofFour were on hand to help as well as my trusty assistant Brian — they all captured some stellar images and I want to thank them personally.

Congratulations again to Laura and David!

There’s not much explaining I need to do here… I’ll let the images speak for themselves. These are just a quick few. You REALLY need to watch the slideshow — there’s even an option to view the slideshow full screen now.

Laura’s Bridals

These images have been “embargoed” for a little bit so David didn’t see his bride-to-be before the time was right — so I’ve been waiting to post these! I’m resting a bit after Laura and David’s amazing wedding yesterday but I wanted to take a moment to post these images.

Isn’t Laura just stunning!

Since this is my blog I get to start with my favorites first

If you’ve been to more than one or two weddings in Atlanta, you’ll recognize the setting immediately. This is the Imperial Ballroom at the Biltmore Ballrooms in Atlanta where their wedding reception was held yesterday.

Ben Vigil, honored.
