Three Sisters Catering wows the crowd at 433 Bishop's Grand Opening

“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.”
― Virginia Woolf

Those who joined Kate (above) and Molly Holway, the staff and crew of Three Sisters Catering for the grand opening luncheon at 433 Bishop certainly dined well.

The banquet that chef brothers Simon and Matthew prepared for us included: tuna tartare, lamb chops, homemade flat bread with pimento cheese dip, crab salad on bruschetta, turkey confit risotto, beef wellington, and a passionfruit custard with berries that Sharon labeled one of the top five desserts of all time.

Sharon and I were delighted to dine with some of the best wedding planners in Atlanta.

The Nasty Women of Pine Lake

Sometimes you get a call as a photographer that sets your photo heart on fire. That's what happened when the mayor of the little town where I lived called to ask me to take a photograph of our elected officials.

All the political leaders in our tiny little city are women who support Clinton.

L to R: Tonja Holder, councilperson; Jean Bordeaux, councilperson; Melanie Hammet, mayor; Augusta Woods, councilperson; Megan Pulsts, mayor protem, Brandy Hall, councilperson.

Taking my head shot photography to another level

Lately, I have more and more people asking me take head shots for their website, social media, or sometimes even printed marketing materials.

So I decided to do a little research and educate myself on various headshot styles. This is one of my favorites. It uses something called clamshell lighting.

Here's a photo I took of Sharon and one she took of me, while we were practicing.

And this is one of my good friend the Rev. Kim Jackson that I took the next day.

I have a couple more head shot sessions scheduled over the next couple of weeks. If you'd like to schedule a session for you and maybe even your coworkers, give us a call 404 298 6263 or shoot us an email at cindy@cbrownphoto.com.

Alex and Esther's Pontoon Boat Exit on Lake Chatuge

Here's Esther's description of her ideal reception:

"We end out on the pier, people stumbling a bit because we're tipsy, and laughing, light our Chinese lanterns, say a small call and response of 'holding you in the light' before we let the lanterns go."

"All the lanterns light easily and don't take long to fill-out, and if something goes wrong and one catches on fire or something, again, it's a funny memorable moment. But no person catches on fire, or if they do we shove them off the pier before they get hurt or we get charged extra for anything from the venue." 

"We let the lanterns go, all squeeze each other with love, then BAM, boat rides up to pier, we swing the doors open, and everyone claps as we say our goodbyes and hop on the boat and zoom off into the lake (where we will circle the lake for a good while, looking at the stars and cuddling, until we come back to the docks right next to wear we zoomed away, and giddily skip to our hotel room, where we take-in how beautiful everything was, and pass out).

Esther's ideal continues: "Everyone peacefully says there goodbyes to each other, lots of hugs and "so nice to get to meet you, welcome to the family" and just a feeling of communal love and that no one was offended or punched anyone."

Esther and Alex's North Georgia Wedding

In preparation for every wedding, I ask couples to tell me how they envision their ideal wedding.

Here's what Esther had to say about getting ready. "I'm with my bridesmaids at the room upstairs at the venue, my friends/bridesmaids and I are laughing and listening to fun 90's music while we get ready. It is magically not hot and I'm never sweaty. The room is decorated with cute make-shift bridal touches and we are having little drinks and singing Britney Spears, Mulan and other Disney hits."

Esther's ideal ceremony: "Short, because I know people appreciate that, but with a sacred feeling and touching uniting of Alex and me. Hopefully the weather is nice, but if not, hope to at least get some really funny moments out of any craziness that that causes." 

Esther's idea of the perfect reception- "Everyone gets rowdy and has a good time, the music is awesome and we are all dancing the night away, the toasts are fun, the ending feel is that people are sad it's over, but it was just the right length and people are going to bed with a smile."

Photographing James Brown

Sometimes a portrait session is fun, not just because the person you're photographing is delightful to be around, but because they've had to develop a sense of humor. James Brown was just such a person. 

He was born with a name that would soon become famous, and he didn't even have to work for the fame. It just came with the name.

Here's my photo of James Brown, a favorite portrait, as of late. I'm thinking the photograph works because James' sense of humor and calm spirit shines through in the image.
