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.

According to the Reverend Kim Jackson, Episcopal priest, Liz and George's Historic Academy of Medicine wedding was the most diverse she had ever seen. Liz, from China, and George, from England, met while working on PhD.s in engineering at Georgia Tech. George’s mother, originally from Japan, and his father from England, along with Liz's family from China joined friends from both countries, from Eastern Europe and from the United States to celebrate Liz and George’s nuptials.

The first official service of the day was the Tea Ceremony, which is the Chinese counterpart of the exchanging of vows. Liz dressed in red, traditional for a Chinese Wedding. Red is considered both powerful and auspicious. During the tea ceremony, Liz and George offered tea to one other and to both sets of parents. The presentation of tea to their parents while they kneeled symbolized their respect and appreciation.

The power of photographs to tell stories comes to full fruition in an album design. If I've done my job well when I my cameras are clicking, then my job creating a storytelling layout goes smoothly. Here are a few favorite spreads from a bar mitzvah album design:

Elizabeth and Bruce's Delightful Academy of Medicine Wedding

/

Michelle Harrison at MyDreamzEventz helped Elizabeth and Bruce put together a warm and wonderful wedding at the Historic Academy of Medicine. Because Elizabeth and Bruce have an appreciation of photography that is beyond the traditional, I really pushed myself at their wedding to work more in a style that is truly my own. I have always been a street photographer at heart, and so I find myself bringing more and more of that street photography ethic to my wedding and event photography. I am surprised and delighted when my clients really "get" what I'm doing. Thanks, Liz and Bruce!

Here are a few of my favorite photos from their wedding:

Roanoke Virginia Wedding | Lauren and Sam's Beautiful Day

/
0007-0005WE130921-lauren_sam_GGR0009.jpg

We always ask couples to tell us what they are doing to make their wedding special or unique. And to tell us what they envision their ideal wedding to be like.

Here's what Lauren and Sam had to say about their wedding plans.

"We were a bit worried about the whole planning process. We wanted to make sure we stayed focused, spending our money and efforts on the things that mattered most to us.

So we wrote our list of priorities:

1) End up, at the end of the day, married to each other.

2) Have a great time celebrating that fact with all of our favorite people.

3) Have good food, good drinks, fun music, and really spectacular cake for that celebration.

4) Have lots of pictures to capture the event so that afterwards, when it feels like it was a blur of activity, we can remember the moments that made it beautiful.

5) Be responsible in our planning to not spend an outrageous amount of money on a single day and, to as great an extent as possible, support local and independent businesses."

That's a list of priorities I felt compelled to share.

Here are few of the photographs we took to help them "remember the moments" that made their wedding day so beautiful.

Street Photography in Cuba: Atlanta Documentary Photographer

/

Yesterday I met with several collectors/jurors of fine art photography as part of the photo reviews at the Photo Plus Expo in New York. While prepping for the reviews, I pulled together several collections of street photographs/documentary photography from the past year or so.

Here are photos from Cuba that I took in January of this year, during a church trip to Cuba. They were shot with my favorite little camera, the Fuji X100.
