“I spent uncounted hours sitting at the bow looking at the water and the sky, studying each wave, different from the last, seeing how it caught the light, the air, the wind; watching patterns, the sweep of it all, and letting it take me.
The sea.”
― Gary Paulsen, Caught by the Sea
I spent Sunday afternoon in Athens with the cutest and sweetest couple ever, Anna Lynn and Raleigh. You may remember them from the proposal that I captured back in November. I loved shooting their engagement photos and being able to capture their happiness and the love that my sister and future brother-in-law have for each other. To say it was an honor is an understatement. We started at Hall Street, where they met in college, because yes, they lived down the street from each other (!!!). They walked down the street towards Raleigh's old house holding hands, remembering that that very location was where they first ever held hands. I know, cuteness overload. Then, we headed downtown for a little coffee and exploration of our favorite small town downtown. We also ventured over to the beautiful Founders Memorial Garden, before ending the session in a gorgeous sun drenched field. It was such a fun afternoon and session - now, bring on the wedding!
One of the many things I love about living in a big city is having a pretty skyline. I have wanted to go on a photo adventure and capture different views of the city for a while now. After many gray and nasty winter days, the sun finally came out a few Sundays ago and I immediately started thinking about the photos that I wanted to take. I even convinced my sweet husband to be my side kick for the afternoon and take some new headshots for me. We had so much fun driving around looking for the best spots to view our city. We ended up on the historic Jackson Street Bridge just in time for the beautiful sunset. As golden hour began, photographers of all ages ventured to the bridge and got ready to capture sunset. It was a neat feeling to look around and see all different sorts of people trying to capture the beauty of the sunset over Atlanta. Below are my favorite shots from our skyline photo adventure.
Sneak peek of Anna Lynn and Raleigh's beautiful engagement session in Athens, Georgia. I just couldn't wait to share this pretty! Lots more coming later this week.
