An Athens Georgia Terrapin Brewery Engagement Session
Meg's Bridal Session
What is a bridal session and why you should consider one
We LOVE when our clients decide to book a bridal session which is a session, before your wedding where you get to try on your dress, practice your makeup and work with us before your big day for some special portraits. Here are 3 reasons we think you should consider one too: 1 - It is a trial run for your wedding day and gives you an opportunity to see how the dress, shoes, hair and jewelry all work together and how it shows up on film. This gives you time to change something!
2- You get another chance (in addition to the engagement session) to work with us so on your wedding day you are completely comfortable and relaxed.
3 - Unique location - sometimes we're confined to locations near your ceremony or reception spot. Booking a separate session allows for a completely different look from the wedding day.
Enjoy!

Maren + Griffin {anniversary}
An Athens Georgia Anniversary Photoshoot
Meet Maren and Griffin! Griffin is our brother and it's one of our favorite things to have him and his beautiful wife in front of our camera. We photographed their wedding last year as well but have to wait to share it as it's being featured on another blog! Until then, I hope you enjoyed this anniversary session and stay tuned for more of this couple!
In the meantime, here's their proposal story!
Griffin and I decided to take a trip for my 28th birthday in 2014. We decided to go to Asheville. We had talked about getting engaged in the future, but I had no idea he was going to propose that weekend! He had originally planned to propose at the Biltmore Estate, but we found out it's $50 a person to go walk around there! So we scratched that idea. He then suggested we go to the Botanical Gardens in Asheville and the North Carolina Arboretum. But it was February and there were pretty much zero live plants. On the last day of our trip Griffin mentioned he kind of wanted to see a waterfall. I ended up finding a waterfall outside of Asheville that was on the way back to Athens. So we made a pit stop on the way back. The first waterfall we went to was called Hooker Falls. We were able to get up really close to it! After standing down by the waterfall for a few minutes, I turned to walk back. As I did, Griffin said "Wait, I want to ask you something" and got down on one knee and proposed!!

3 Reasons to have a First Look
Three Reasons You Should Have a First Look
We encourage a First Look for many reasons and a lot of our reasons have to do with timing and photography and lighting, but the number one reason that we encourage couples to have a First Look, is for the you, the couple.
Reason #1: Quality Time During a Busy Wedding Day
You, the bride or groom, get to spend some quality time together. That's it, my #1 reason. Yes, when you opt for a First Look, you are 'breaking tradition' and seeing each other before the ceremony, but you are also choosing to take time during a very busy, very distracting day, and spend some quality on-on-one time with each other.
Imagine this; you're standing at the most comfortable, most beautiful location that your venue (church, house, getting-ready location) has to offer, all dressed and ready. As you stand there, nervous, your love walks up to you; asks you to turn around and right then you are no longer nervous. You hug, kiss, admire, and TALK! For as long as you'd like! And while you hug, kiss, admire and talk, Logan and I get to take honest photos of you unhindered by the ceremony.
Reason #2: Fun Photos!
After your First Look, we start the fun! We like to allow an hour for photos of our wedding couple. During that hour, we encourage cuddling, laughing and dancing. We will explore your venue and make the most of every pretty spot your venue has to offer.
Reason #3: Start Your Party Sooner!
By choosing a First Look, you can also get family and wedding party photos finished prior to the ceremony. After you say your I Do's you can head straight to the party!
