One thing that’s quite nice about wedding photographers in Atlanta is that contrary to what you might think, many of the established photographers are actually quite good friends. We get together to play poker, we refer business to each other and we even help each other out shooting weddings when we’re available. A few weekends ago was one of those times. I was happy to join Jason Spruill, a.k.a. Weddings by Jason, for a beautiful wedding in Big Canoe, GA.
Becky and Todd chose the perfect weekend to get married in Big Canoe. The dogwood trees were simply AMAZING… a week earlier and the trees would be mostly covered in buds and a week later the colors would be totally different. Here’s just a few of the images I captured for Jason on that day…
In case you’re wondering about this cake topper, it has a very special meaning for the couple. They were both on the same little league baseball team as children and they have the team photos to prove it. This was only one of the 5 cakes they had and while in the past I may have wondered why in the world anyone would want a baseball themed cake topper, I now know. And more than that, I absolutely loved it because I know the profound love they share and the depth that comes from knowing someone for as long as they have known each other…
Okay, maybe not…. I can’t tell you how much fun it was to hang out with Monica and Rich all day. They are such a blast (you’ll see it in the images) and obviously just love life and live it to the fullest. When I met with Monica and Rich we hit it off right away and it turns out that we know a lot of the same people and walk in the same circles, so to speak. Rich is a youth minister at the church were I grew up (some of my family still goes there) and Monica works at a Catholic high school on the other side of Atlanta. Rich’s job explains all the young folk you’ll see in the slideshow.
Monica and Rich’s wedding was #3 in a row with the AMAZING Susan Graham of Susan Graham Signature Events and everybody at Bold American Catering. There’s a lot of eye candy in this show so sit back and relax while you watch the show — the music is a lot different than my usual wedding music but it fits Monica and Rich perfectly. Jason Spruill, a.k.a. Weddings by Jason, another amazing Atlanta photographer, came out to help me cover all the bases and did an amazing job. And again, my trusty assistant Brian Steele made anything possible.
This slideshow has a TON of images so unless you’re on a decent DSL/Cable connection I’d suggest that you click once below to start the slideshow downloading and then click again to pause it and wait a little bit (maybe 15 or 30 seconds) before pressing play again. Same goes for the full-screen version, which you can view by clicking the last icon on the bottom right.
