Boudoir sessions are some of my favorite to photograph. I love that the goal of the sessions are so clear: Make you look like the hottest ‘You’. It’s so fun working one-on-one with the women and creatively capturing the beauty they each have. Many chose the book a session for a gift, but I always have a few that book it ‘just because’. For Ms. ‘L’, we shot the session at the Intercontinental Hotel in Buckhead. I love the light in this hotel, and the design of each room is different so I was sure we’d have something unique.

 

 

 

There were smiles all around for this gorgeous June  affair. Ian and Fanta invited their closest family and  friends to join them in what certainly deserves to be  called a ‘celebration’. The two were making it  official, and in the words of TImothy Bloom making  ’this house into a home’. The chase was over – well,  for now (I have a feeling Ian will be chasing Fanta  for life!).

 

 

 

The couple chose the Grand Atrium at 200 Peachtree to host their affair. I remember Fanta’s eyes lighting up while she told me about the chandeliers and the elegance of the atrium, and I couldn’t wait to see how Randi Moore of RSVP Design and Events would transform the space. The day arrived and nothing was without charm. Special thanks to those mentioned above, as well as: Shawna Elizabeth for the gorgeous makeup throughout the day, Black Tie Barbeque for catering to make you tip the scale, and Three Ring Media for an amazing job documenting the day with video.

Fanta’s figure rocked this gorgeous dress from Modern Trousseau.

 

The couple decided to see each other before the wedding, so we worked together to create a cinematic ‘meeting’ of the two in Atlantic Station. I love these few moments that the couple get to spend together before embarking on what can be a hectic day. Sometimes it’s the last ‘alone time’ they will get all night; plus we get a chance for some pretty kick-ass images

Here is Fanta preparing to walk to Ian.

 

 

 

You two are beautiful!

The Atrium looked gorgeous for the ceremony, and the staff did an amazing job turning the room so fast for the reception.

 

The party lasted all night with DJ Kwest_on, whom Ian has been following for years. He flew in from Chicago to spin for the couple’s reception.

200 Peachtree is gorgeous at night.

I wanted to take the couple outside for a few night portraits, but it had started POURING (go figure, Summer in Atlanta!). We improvised and I love the results.

As the night wound down, the couple enjoyed a last dance and were then off to the Ritz for the night. We were thankful to the police for stopping traffic, but these two could have accomplished that all by themselves!

 

Thank you Ian and Fanta for choosing me to be a part of this day with you!
