Waiting for Ryan to smile

We met Riley and Ryan in downtown Suwanee for the final MS Walk Session. We instantly fell in love with Riley’s curls and blue eyes and Ryan’s red hair and freckles. They did their thing- Riley worked it and Ryan smoldered. But we just couldn’t get a real, big smile from Ryan. This one was pretty good.
We told jokes, made faces. He’s got the James Dean thing down, though.
Riley needed no direction. Once she got started, she took off. Watch her go…
Riley’s mom says she’ll move to straightening her hair soon. We sure hope not. You’re beautiful, Riley!
This is a pretty decent smile, too. Still not there yet…But LOOK at those freckles! They’re so wonderful!
Just as we were about to leave, Alan snuck up on Ryan and…THERE IT IS!!!
We had so much fun with you guys! Thank you both and thank you, Lea! Hope you enjoy these!

This is Buddy. Buddy is 8-months-old and he loves pulling on his leash and playing with his boy, Tristan. He also owns Mike and Carrie, Tristan’s parents, who feed him and walk him and wait patiently for his puppy stage to calm down. He lives a pretty tough life.
This is Buddy’s boy, Tristan. He likes to climb things..just like Buddy.
Buddy has a pretty good-looking family, don’t you think?
Buddy liked our camera and got excited. I think he thought it was some new black, flashy ball.
Thanks, Buddy for letting us play with you and your family!

Karla and James are some of our favorite people. All you have to do is watch how easily James cracks up and doubles over with laughter and experience Karla’s candid and genuine nature and you’ll fall in love with them, too. We were overflowing with blessings after shooting their Dallas wedding last August and our blessings continue when they asked us to do an early one-year anniversary session while visiting Atlanta. We wandered through a warehouse district downtown and even got kicked off of somebody’s front porch (who knew warehouses had front porches?)! Oh, it’s all excitement and adventure with ADP! Karla and James, you make us look GOOD.

Sierra and Daniel have been friends of ours for several years and we were thrilled to watch them become a couple and beyond honored when they later asked us to photograph their wedding. Daniel is a Brit with an accent that keeps us entertained for hours (our favorite being when he borrowed Alan’s “jumper” and left it in the “boot” – or when he asked Alysa – yes, Alysa – to explain American football to him during the Superbowl). Sierra is a beautiful Georgia girl with amazing style who has spent enough time in Great Britain to know that Daniel is not the only thing from there that she enjoys.
So when they got engaged, they asked us where they might find local venues with a London flavor. We told them to just skip local and take us to London. When that didn’t work, we suggested Patten Chapel at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and Grandview on Lookout Mountain. And voila! They brought England to Tennessee!
Sierra’s dress was to die for – chic, timeless and fashionable – just like her.
This is Sierra’s mom.
And this is why she was crying.
Daniel, you are fab.
Sierra had a full bell choir play her down the aisle!
Oh, how we love a church with real architecture…
The travel postcards were for leaving the bride and groom a note of congratulations or advice.
Sierra and Daniel, you are lovely and we are so happy to consider you friends as well as clients. We hope these pictures begin to touch on how beautiful your day was – and how beautiful you are as people.
