Wedding | Meredith & Christopher Part I

This was unexpectedly, one of my favorite weddings of 2012. Meredith came by me by one of her bridesmaids- we had never met, never spoke on the phone, only emailed- and very little of that. Normally by the time the wedding roles around, I have a general idea of the bride, her plans and what kind of wedding it will be- this time, I was blind… but I showed up to a beautiful home, to find some of the sweetest, most beautiful women having brunch and getting dolled up. Meredith met me with a giant smile and had instant trust in me, she often said to her vendors that day “your the professional” and that makes me feel like a million bucks! You’ll see an image below of Meredith getting her makeup done, and looking quite different. She is currently surviving cancer, but you would have never known it that day. She is on an upcoming episode of “Say Yes to the Dress, Atlanta” this season, and it was an honor to be part of that experience and to capture her wedding day to Christopher. I’ve never seen a groom so in love with his bride- I hope the future brings me many more couples just like them- the kind that restore your faith in humanity & love.

Business | ANNOUCEMENT!

Remember back at the end of last year when I told you something BIG was coming (and it wasn’t a baby)?? Well…. it’s HERE! We are pleased to begin offering our clients (any anyone else!) event planning services! I’ve teamed up with Jennifer Malone to start J. Leigh Events. Having both come from event management backgrounds this just seemed like a natural direction for us to go. She was previously on staff at the church we attend as the Executive Assistant to the Head Pastor and part of those duties included helping to plan and manage all the church events- including wedding coordination. I have been the Event Coordinator for a nonprofit for the last 5 years, managing all the state-wide events. As well, with being a photographer in the thick of weddings over the last 3.5 years, it’s given me great insight into who the top vendors are in our area and what all goes into a well-run wedding day. We hope you’ll celebrate the opening of this new venture for us by “liking” our new Facebook page. Our website is still under construction- but when it goes live, you’ll be the first to know. We greatly appreciate all your support! PS- Something is still up with my email 🙁 Please call or Facebook message me if you need to get a hold of me!
