Sarah’s Timeless Bridal Portrait

As Sarah and I began discussing her bridal portrait the one word that kept coming up was “timeless.” First, there is a family legacy of beautiful family portraits that I wanted to respect as I planned the creation of her portrait. In fact, at the wedding, one if these images was going to be displayed alongside past family and bridal portraits. And second, if there is one word I strive to live up to in the wedding imagery that I produce it is just that…

Timeless.

When I use the word timeless, I do not mean vintage. What I do mean is this: a timeless image will look just as powerful in 2 years (when the current photography trends have passed us by) as it will when they display it at their 50th wedding anniversary celebration. So before I ruin it running my mouth…

These are my two personal favorites that we captured at the beautiful Capital City Country Club in her stunning Lazaro wedding dress.

The image below is the image that Sarah ordered as a canvas to display at the reception.

Now, knowing Sarah the above two images are quite a change from the rather joyful and exuberant Sarah we all know. Here is an image that really captures that…

Sarah & Christopher, Lake Burton Engagement

Let’s see. I’m not sure where to start except to say that when I asked Sarah and Christopher to “just stand over there next to each other for a second” and this is the image that I captured, I knew all was well with the world…

Rewind… when Sarah contacted me about their wedding next year she told me something that’s always nice to hear: she had come across my site years ago, and had saved it because she knew she’d eventually need it. I’m glad she did because it has been an absolute pleasure getting to know them and their family the little bit that I have so far. They invited me up to their beautiful family home on Lake Burton for their engagement session a few weeks ago. What a beautiful area!

I don’t think I’m going to say much more and just let the images speak for themselves…

One of my favorites aspects of my work as a photographer is that I get to capture people in ways that they’ve never seen themselves or even imagined themselves. These two are for Christopher…

I can’t wait to see the two of you again!
