Anne and Trevor's Hydrangea Garden Wedding

/

Anne and Trevor’s wedding took place where Anne grew up, among the blooms of a variety of hydrangea shrubs that her father has lovingly cultivated over the years.

Before extended family gathered in the garden for the celebration, Anne and Trevor read punny cards to each other and laughed and hugged and enjoyed each other’s company.

The intimate backyard wedding began with piano music played by Trevor’s brother Ian and was officiated by Trevor’s brother Ryan. Anne and Trevor sang to each other during the ceremony and danced with each other and their parents following the ceremony

The most amazingly moist cupcakes ever came from The Sweet Spot Bakery in Duluth.

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.
