Atlanta Marriott Century Center | Wedding Venue

/

I met Jennifer Hill, Senior Catering Sales Executive at the Atlanta Marriott Century Center, at a recent networking event. A couple of weeks ago, she was kind enough to take me on a tour of their awesome event space. There are 20 meeting rooms available at the Century Century Marriott with more than 25,000 sq-ft of meeting space. The 5,000-sq-ft Century Ballroom, largest of the rooms with a capacity of 800, is perfect for a luxury wedding.

In addition to the meeting rooms, those planning weddings or other events can take advantage of poolside event space.

The guest rooms are newly remodeled and great for out of town guests.

There's plenty of free parking and easy access to I-85 at Clairmont Road. If you're planning a wedding, check it out. Jennifer will be glad to show you around.

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.

Couldn't resist taking my camera with me to the East Meets West Perfect Wedding Guide Luncheon at Gwinnett Center last week. The bridal show was amazing with gowns for the traditional Indian wedding as well as what we think of as the more traditional Christian white wedding gown. Here are a few of my favorite photographs:

Atlanta Wedding Photojournalist: Kate and Kyle's Emory/Watershed Restaurant Wedding

/

My assistant photographer, Sharon McMahon, and I had the privilege of photographing Kate Floyd and Kyle Tau's wedding and reception yesterday. Kate and Kyle and family, along with the wedding planners from Wedding Soiree pulled together everything necessary for an awesome wedding--a beautiful dress and veil for the bride, gorgeous flowers by Bloom Floral Design, handsome tuxedos for the guys, some delicious Southern food and drink from the Chef Joe Truex and crew, and a down-home, kicking, bluegrass band DejaBlue. The wedding was performed by Kate's grandfather in Cannon Chapel on the Emory Campus and the reception took place at The Watershed Restaurant in Decatur.

Here are a few of my favorites. (I'm holding back some of the best for the slideshow I'm working on, so stay tuned for more.)

Wedding Venue: The Carl House in Auburn, Georgia -- Definitely on my "Must See List"

The folks at the lovely Antebellum-style Carl House welcomed me onto their property a couple of weeks ago for a tour. The  home was elegant and the gardens lush and beautiful. Given the special place in my heart for all things old, I was in hog heaven viewing the details of the woodwork, ceilings, crown molding, antiques and more. It's easy to see why this is an award-winning wedding and event venue. After wandering the property and home for about as long as I thought appropriate for a drop in visit, I had a hard time convincing myself it was time to leave. Now if I could only convince them to let me borrow that beautiful couch for my next bridal show.

Atlanta Portrait Photographer: Payne Corley House Sip and See

A couple of weeks ago, my partner and I decided to take the folks at the Payne-Corley House in Duluth up on their invitation to come and Sip and See. That particular Saturday afternoon was absolutely gorgeous and afforded us the opportunity to see all sorts of blooming flowers on the property.

The Payne-Corley house, built around 1870, is the oldest standing home in the city of Duluth. It was built as a farmhouse when Duluth was known as "Howell's Crossing." (This is nothing like the three-room farmhouse where my Mom grew up.) Entering the home from the side entrance, we were greeted with this lovely painted porch, one of my favorite parts of the home.

Upon entering the home, we found a lovely assortment of hors d'oevres and desserts displayed. I waited to indulge in the scrumptious chocolate ganache, until after I had tasted some awesome crab cakes and a to-die-for summer gazpacho.
