alyssa & colby | athens, ga wedding photographer

what 10 items are likely substitutes for dental floss in an emergency situation? when a wedding day begins with this question, and everyone is still having a good time, eileen and i know we’re in for a treat. alyssa and colby, along with their family and friends, are exactly the kind of crazy kids you’d want to have at your side in a survival situation (which weddings often are). even under pressure, they stay cool, collected, and outrageously fun! their great sense of humor is matched only by the tenderness and pride you’ll see from them and from their family in the images below — especially when colby saw alyssa for the first time in her wedding gown, with loved ones peeping in inconspicuously to soak in the goodness of the moment.

we have so many stories and wonderful memories with alyssa and colby now. i’d love to tell more, but i’m afraid you’ll have to settle for the few that are told in these pictures. eileen and i are busy sunup to sundown these days, wrapping up several wedding and portrait shoots before we leave the country yet again. (which reminds me, look out for our soon-to-be published travel itinerary. if you think you’d like to create some art together, we may be coming to a city — or nation — near you! a few of the stops this year: nyc, london, and manila. if you call any of these home, represent: drop us a note in comments below. we’ll let you know when we plan to be in your neck of the woods!) honestly, despite the busy-ness, we can’t wait for the next time we can get a camera in our hands, especially if it’s for a pair like these two. getting to know them and share in this adventure has been spectacular! thanks, alyssa and colby. we feel really lucky to be a part of your life together in this way. can’t wait to see you two again soon!

fine art books: classic book binding with a modern spin

SUPER excited about getting these new samples in from our production studio. on the right is a 10.5×14 photo art book (thicker pages with photo finish) with singapore red exotic leather. on the left is a 9×12 original fine art book (matte-like pages) with moroccan brown exotic leather. both are absolutely beautifully crafted. the quality is… just WOW! these images really don’t do them justice; you’ve gotta get your hands on one of them to truly appreciate the classy look and feel.

check this: lies completely flat, with no gutter in the middle. when i’m designing, i love how this allows for some beautiful, seamless spreads without losing any of the image.some layouts of the 10.5×14 photo art book:

and the 9×12 original fine art book:

can’t wait to display these at our upcoming bridal show! as our way of saying “thanks” for coming to see us, here’s your 2-for-1 discount to get in the door. hope to see you there!
