Foxhall, April ISES meeting

Foxhall, April ISES meeting

I had the privilege of touring the grounds of the Foxhall Resort and Sporting Club on the very south side of Douglasville last week. The International Special Events Society held there April meeting there and Wow was it delightful. I plan to go back again soon to ride horses and take more photos of the awesome landscape. If I'm real ambitious one morning, I'll get up early and go before the fog lifts. I'll be sure to share what I find.

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.

ISES at the Amazing Foxhall Resort and Sporting Club

/

The Atlanta chapter of the International Special Events Society met last week at an incredible new venue space, the Foxhall Resort and Sporting Club. The resort has been given permits to build 2,300,000 square feet of resort space, including hotels, convention space, condominiums and Private Resident Clubs. Members of ISES toured the property, shared great food from Low Country Barbeque and enjoyed entertainment provided by Amusement Masters and Burgess Amusements. Event Design including floral arrangements was provided by Steve Bales, Creative Director at Bold American and music by Lethal Rhythms.

Here are a few photos of folks enjoying themselves. On Thursday, I'll post more about Foxhall's beautiful property.

Metro Atlanta Chamber at the InterContinental Buckhead

Glad to report that I've been quite busy the past couple of months. The paying gigs have left me scrambling to share photos from some of my favorite networking events. I am just now getting around to posting a few favorite photos from the Feb. 24th Metro Atlanta Chamber business to business event at the InterContinental Buckhead. The hotel is gorgeous as you can see in the photos below.

Schloemer Business Services Launch Party | Atlanta Event Photographer

/

I've been busy this month photographing people and events and haven't kept my blog as up to date as I'd like. Trying to catch up and so today I'm sharing photos from the Launch Party for Schloemer Business Services that took place on Feb 16th at the Hudson Grille Midtown. Turnout for the party was great with about 150 guests attending to celebrate Pam Schloemer's success.

The party was a fundraiser for Leader Dogs for the Blind, an organization founded by three Detroit area Lyon's Club members in 1939 that trains and provides guide dogs to people who are seeing impaired. Pam is a member of the Lyon's Club International and the Leader Dog program is near and dear to her heart. She was glad to announce at the end of the evening that the folks attending the party had raised more than $600 for the Leader Dog Foundation.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the night:

The Next Cool Thing Event Fundraiser for the Georgia Production Partnership

next_cool_thing_0007.jpg

On Saturday evening my partner and I attended The Next Cool Thing Event, thanks to my new networking friend David Fritsch. The event, which took place in a 90,000 square-foot warehouse, was a fundraiser for the Georgia Production Partnership designed to promote networking among professionals in the film & TV, entertainment, design, performing arts and event industries. I spent much of the night eating the wonderful food fare available there ... kudos to the crab cakes from Six Feet Under. But I was able to take a few photos, as well. Here are a few of my favorite images from the night.

Atlanta International Society of Event Specialists December Meeting

/

I was the roving photographer at the Atlanta ISES meeting last week. The group met at the Hard Rock Cafe in downtown Atlanta, shared great food and drink, and had fun bidding on and buying items in a live and silent auction. For the techno geeks out there, I shot with one Canon 430 EX off-camera triggered by a Pocket Wizard radio wireless.
