What a delightful time the bride, groom, and wedding guests had at Ralph and Terry's intimate Sandy Springs wedding. The celebration took place at their home and was officiated by Ralph's daughter, Alexis. Family from Jamaica and friends from UPS filled the living room and dining room. Dancing began when the groom came down the aisle and continued into the evening. Here are few favorites from the evening:

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.

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.

Academy of Medicine Wedding | Saed and Nat

/

What a wedding and dance party! Saed and Nate, friends and family gathered at the stately The Historic Academy of Medicine for a delightful ceremony and reception. Before the wedding they said their vision of their wedding included a "fun, laid-back, but elegant" ceremony, that would "turn into a dance party!" And that is just what they got. Two minor faux pauxs occurred. One of Saed's bridesmaids bought the wrong color dress. Thankfully, the maid of honor was able to wear the dress, which set her apart from the other bridesmaids and seemed natural to those at the wedding. The groom ordered six bowties for his six groomsmen -- and forgot to order one for himself. Two groomsmen made a last minute visit to a department store and returned with a bow tie for the groom that was just a tad lighter than the groomsmen's ties. Everything else about the wedding went off without a hitch.

One of their friends made the delectable cake decorated with cream-colored flowers. Saed and bridemaids carried flowers with fiddlehead ferns (my favorite) designed by "On Occasions of Atlanta." The folks at "Proof of the Pudding" provided the savory salads, entrees and side dishes. The staff from the Academy of Medicine made sure everything went off without a hitch.

Here is a sneak peak of a few images from the night:

Just bought a new slideshow program, so our slideshows will be video instead of flash. Here's our first FotoMagico show of Jeff and Allegra's wedding in Tulum, Mexico. The wedding took place at the awesome Ahua Tulum -- a great place to getaway from it all. Let us know what you think.

Thanks for making our stay at Ahau so amazing, Jamie.

Buckhead Theatre | Atlanta Wedding Venue

/

Earlier this Fall, I was invited by Emily Williams at The Buckhead Theatre to tour the recently remodeled space that many who’ve lived in Atlanta for several years will remember as The Roxy. Those who’ve lived in Atlanta even longer, will realize that the name change to The Buckhead Theatre is a throwback to the venue's original appellation. After a two-year remodel that totally revitalized the interior, the space reopened with a newfound flexibility for wedding/corporate events. Those of you planning an event with an art deco, old theatre twist will be delighted with what you find here.

Check out the photos below and I think you’ll be impressed, as I was, by the beautiful details, opulently ornamented foyer, whimsical plaster detailing, and open spaces you can make your own.

For more information on having your wedding or event at The Buckhead Theatre, please follow the link to their site here.

Gotta love the dressing room area. It's designed for the celebrities who perform at the theatre, but you get to use it if you rent the space for your wedding or corporate event.

I've had the distinct pleasure of documenting the weddings of several friends I met while working on a Master's of Divinity at Candler School of Theology. The latest Candler wedding took place in early November. The bride and groom, Candace and J, both Candler grads, chose Grace United Methodist for their ceremony and The Solarium in Oakhurst for their reception. Friends and family helped Candace and J create a wedding and reception perfect for them. Here are a few of our favorite photos from the big day.

Second Quarter Award Winners from the Wedding Photojournalist Association

/

I was delighted to receive an e-mail from the Wedding Photojournalist Association with news that I had won two awards for the second quarter of 2012. The first award was in the category Speeches and Toasts. That photo was taken at Maggie and Tim's wedding at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. I had my camera focused on the bride and groom and their parents while they listened to the toasts of friends and family. The second award was in the category Ceremony and was taken at a beach ceremony on Long Beach, Mississippi. The groom dipped the bride when the minister said, "You may kiss the bride" and I clicked away.

Here are the two award-winners:
