Wedding Guests From Afar

North Georgia Lesbian Wedding Photo

Those looking for a way to conduct a wedding in the midst of the coronavirus crises might want to consider a wedding like Penny and Tonya’s that took place near Cleveland, Georgia last fall.

The two were not self quarantining. They simply wanted a quiet ceremony with no fuss.

So they hired an officiant and decorated their home and invited two guest to join them online. They set up an iPhone and an iPad on the altar they set up in their home. The ceremony took place where the guests could see what was happening.

Before the ceremony, Penny and Tonya waved to their guests and afterwards they showed off their rings.

Then they moved to the kitchen, along with their online guests, for a toast.

I'm an Atlanta wedding photographer who takes soulful, quirky and honest photos ...

I'm also an adventurous traveler and all-round nerd. I love to hike with my beagle/cattle dog Roux and best friend/spouse.

I was born in Atlanta, moved around a lot--30 cities and 5 states--and then came back.

After graduating from the Art Institute of Atlanta, I took a job at asmall newspaper in south Georgia, where I photographedhospital teas, pecan farmers, and beauty queens.

I photographed a biker funeral, death penalty protests andTed Bundy while interning with the Associated Press.

While a photographer for two dailies in Florida, I photographed Ronald Reagan, a train derailment and the dedication of a screened-in porch.

An unexpected life turn took me to Vermont where I fell in love with Bernie Sanders and on to Indiana, where I edited photos for a major daily, and nerded out getting a master’s and PhD.

After teaching photojournalism at colleges and universities in Florida, Indiana and Mississippi, I returned to Atlanta to earn myfifth degree--a Master's of Divinity.

My passion for storytelling with my camera and my interest in religious diversity led my to the field of wedding photojournalism.

I have documented weddings large and small, Unitarian and Pagan, indoors and out, Christian and Muslim, in backyards and in churches. The most exotic wedding I have photographed took place in Mexico and was officiated by aMayan shaman.

When I'm not photographing weddings, portraits or corporate events, I work on personal photo projects, visit friends in amemory-care home, and volunteer at a recovery center.
