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.

Decatur Wedding Venue | Dekalb History Center

130411-melia-3.jpg

The Dekalb History Center, with it's marble walls, decorative crown molding, and magnificent arched windows is a wonderful place for weddings, b'not mitzvahs, anniversaries or any other historic event. Located in the old courthouse where Clairmont intersects Ponce de Leon in the heart of Decatur, this venue offers a large bridal suite, a downstairs foyer perfect for a dance floor, and the grand ballroom, which was once the courtroom. Stacey Roudebush, Rental Coordinator and Administrator at the Center, is easy-going and fun to work with. One client said, "Stacey ... was very helpful from the first day we visited up until days after the wedding."

If you're looking for some place, chic, unique and romantic for your event, this just may be the venue for you. Here are a few photos to give you a sense of the place:

3109 Piedmont Estate and Gardens | Atlanta Wedding Venue

/

Tony Conway and the crew at A Legendary Event have taken one of Buckhead's fine dining establishments, Anthony's Restaurant, and turned it into a breathtaking "Legendary" wedding and event venue. Situated on a park-like 3 acres just off of Piedmont Road, the antebellum home built in 1797, has a storied history. The house was moved from its original home in Washington, GA in 1967 and reassembled and renovated at its present location in Buckhead. The estate now features beautiful outdoor and indoor spaces, including manicured gardens, rooms with original fireplaces, two bars, and an awesome ballroom capable of seating 175.

Andrew Dickens, Associate Account Manager at A Legendary Event, was kind enough to take me on a private tour of the gorgeous old home turned celebration central. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the tour.

April ISES Meeting at The Rental Place in Alpharetta

/

This month's ISES event took place at The Rental Place in Alpharetta. If you think a Rental Place is an odd place for a networking meeting, think again. Everyone in attendance had the opportunity to take a look around the showroom floor filled with table, chairs, linens, serving trays, sculptures in the shape of musicians, lights, ..... etc. etc. (I can't tell you how many different items perfect for entertaining they had on their showroom floor.) In addition, two tents were set up behind the showroom -- one for the meeting, with flavorful food from Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q and one for the Iron Table Design Contest that was the highlight of the evening.

Here are a few of our favorites from the evening:

Madison Georgia Wedding Venue Variety Works Holds Open House

/

This past Sunday afternoon the folks at Variety Works welcomed guests to their recently opened rustic wedding venue. The space is perfect for the couple looking for something beyond the norm. Here's what Diane Lively of the Morgan County Post wrote about the space:

"Big news! The Variety Works, owned by Jane and Everett Royal and located in the Madison Markets campus behind Tequila Express, has been transformed y’all! I’m talkin’ it is now one of the area’s most beautiful event and wedding venues! Honey, Momma and I crashed the first weddin’ there on Saturday night to check it all out and it is flat unbelievable! OK so Variety Works has about 5,000 square feet downstairs and 2,200 upstairs and it has been completely remodeled! Plus, this space creates a historic, rustic atmosphere that you just can’t get in any other location!"

I was lucky enough to meet Diane at the open house. She was taking photos for the newspaper. I was takin' photos for my blog (and for the Royal's. Everett is charming.)

Here are a few of my favorites from the evening:
