July 28th began as a beautiful sunny afternoon, moving into the last hot days of the season. The setting could not be more spectacular, Chateau Elan in Braselton, Georgia. Today would be the wedding day of Jocelyn and Booker. An excited couple that was surrounded by a very supportive family. Most of the afternoon we enjoyed the air conditioning within the Inn, then onto the lawn overlooking the vineyards, a peaceful setting. Under the shade of a large oak tree the couple stated their vows, to the joy of the family. In Chateau Elan fashion, the reception was beautiful, music and laughter, especially from several toasts that were shared.

Thanks to Chateau Elan  and many thanks to Janet Howard Studio, a good friend and fantastic photographer that brought me along for this occasion. Always a pleasure working with her studio. While I am offering gracious thanks to everyone, I do not want to forget Kesha Nettles at Watermark Weddings.com.  She was such a great coordinator to work with, spot on with every detail. We were not off schedule a single moment, and I saw nothing but smiles from everyone. She must have done something right! The daywas a great success!

Congratulations Jocelyn and Booker!

Multicultural Wedding and Event Professionals (MWEP) is growing everyday. Adding new clients that will reach out and support Multicultural Weddings. Here are two new vendors, and there will be more to come. Meet April Cochran from the Alpharetta Visitors Bureau, and Elizabeth Montgomery with the Alpharetta Marriott. It is great to have them as part of this team. I have had many opportunities to photograph events at several locations within the Alpharetta area, including the Alpharetta Marriott, and I am confident they can accommodate all types of events at their beautiful locations.

I filmed these commercials a few weeks ago to add to the list of professionals for MWEP. Contact me for more information on how to have your commercial created, whether for MWEP or for your own website or email blast.

The following letter is from a groom whose wedding I had the honor to photograph. After reading this letter, I am glad they didn’t run away to get married. Word to the wise gentlemen: It is truly a day to remember, a day that begins the glorious journey you will spend with your wife. Celebrate it! Let the world know your love for her. I wanted to post every word of the letter, because it truly tells the love that he has for his wife, and I felt it should be known. Attention all of you grooms out there! Brides forward this letter to your groom, it will make him cry.

When I asked her to marry me, that was not how I envisioned my Saturdays. I planned to veg out and watch sports or play a round of golf after a long week at work. But I ended up following [Read more…]

Family Photography

Family photography is always fun and challenging for me. I mean who doesn’t love kids? Well maybe their mom, when she has had no sleep and they are crying their eyes out and she just wants them to sit still for a few good photos! Well I guess there are those. But in the end, no matter how much screaming or crying there is going on I always get those great shots. This is the story of their little life, and I have been blessed to have been a part of so many families lives. Such as the Pinner family, I photographed their wedding day, and a few years later the phone rang “Guess what, we had a baby!”, another year passed and the phone rang again. I was so happy to see them, and how their little girl had grown from the first photo session. Yes, it is the story of those years that go by so fast, and I love to tell the story. They grow so fast…..

Multicultural Wedding and Event Professionals is an organization founded by Margaret Daniel, which helps businesses such as mine find the resources we need to help clients from many cultures. As stated as their vision ” MWEP will connect planners and vendors with clients throughout the world. We are the premier business resource for wedding and event professionals of all cultures.”

Multicultural Wedding and Event Professionals, Inc. (MWEP) seeks to enhance the careers of its members in the landscape of opportunities that is ever changing by using cutting edge technologies. In doing this we believe we will be the number one network to successfully address the needs of culturally diverse communities in the most effective manner by optimizing our resources.

Working with Margaret for many years I believe in her leadership to meet these goals, and have contributed my services to help MWEP continue to meet this goal. In my personal experience weddings and events from all cultures are seeking more than utilizing the services from their own cultures. Many desire to break away from the traditional, yet keep some of the tradition. In doing this they use services such as mine to produce photographs and videos that are different from what they see that all of their friends have, they want something different. Granted, many still want the same music style, flower arrangements and gowns, but they want to be able to have a choice, many choices. That is what MWEP will offer them, and you as a business owner.

Several weeks ago I had the opportunity to photograph the launch party for MWEP at La Fais DO-Do, a beautiful event location in downtown Atlanta, with a Louisiana flair, as you can tell by the name. It was a great place to hold a kick off event for MWEP. There was a great turn out, and a lot was learned. MWEP is hosting another event at the same location, to offer those that could not attend another opportunity to do so. Join MWEP on August 21st, again at La Fais DO-Do 1611 Ellsworth Industrial Blvd. Atlanta, Ga. 30318. See what they have to offer that will help you grow your company. I look forward to seeing you there.
