Megan and Jon celebrated their beautiful wedding recently at the fabulous Mason Murer Fine Art Gallery in Atlanta. I was lucky to second shoot for my very good friend Jennifer Boxley and had a fantastic time shooting the guys! It was a beautiful October day made even better by Megan and Jon’s super easy going and very fun-loving nature. One of my favorite moments from the day was during the Ketubah signing (the marriage contract), where the family and friends gather around Jon and the rabbi while he explains the significance of the signing. There is a portion where the crowd is to prevent Jon from speaking and the look on his mother’s face is priceless (image halfway down of course)! The best part was during the Hora where Megan and Jon were lifted in chairs while everyone danced around them. The energy and excitement during this traditional dance is awesome and as you’ll see below, Megan was at first a bit more than terrified as she was lifted up! It was such a fantastic wedding and I am so glad that I was there to help Jen capture it!
Having worked as a professional photographer for the past 12 years, I have been incredibly fortunate to capture amazing images both on assignment and on personal projects throughout the U.S. and many other countries. Photographing weddings has become a true joy of mine as it allows me to tell the story of one of life’s best days: the love, excitement, energy, emotion and pure happiness of a couple on their wedding day!
I studied journalism with an emphasis in photojournalism at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. After graduation I worked for a variety of organizations and publications including a commercial photography studio in Atlanta, as the staff photographer for the Fulton County Daily Report, a freelancer for the Australian Associated Press and continuing freelance work for various publications.
When not shooting a wedding or working on other photo assignments, you will definitely find me out hiking or camping or generally finding any excuse to be outside! I love taking fun classes and have done everything from Vietnamese and Spanish courses to pottery, horseback riding, knitting, ballet, belly dancing, yoga, oil painting…and the list goes on!
