One thing about getting married is you suddenly double your family…or in my case, quadruple it! My wife, Lisa, comes from a family of 9! She has 6 brothers and sisters, and of course, her mom and dad. One of Lisa’s older brothers, Dr. Jason as I call him, married a sweet girl named Emily. Emily comes from a rather large family as well, with 3 sisters and a brother. Emily and her brother and sisters asked me to photograph her family as a present for their parents 35th wedding anniversary. Some of their friends were nice enough to let us use their backyard in Norcross, overlooking the Chattahoochee River. We had a great time taking all sorts of family portraits. Thanks for letting me shoot you guys! The Nelson family rocks!

Recently, I had the opportunity to work with an awesome, super talented young couple named Priscilla Henson and Dave Caselli. I can particularly relate to Dave, since he is a very creative person. Dave is a super talented graphic artist and spends a lot of time designing in Flash. He is the founder of 23 Designs. He is also a principle designer for Indigo Studios in Atlanta. Priscilla and Dave wanted to have their engagement photos done at Piedmont Park in Atlanta since this is where they got engaged and would soon be married. We had a great time shooting and getting video footage that Dave would later turn into a very well produced video that told the story of their relationship. They showed the video at the wedding reception and it was an instant hit. Stay tuned for photos from their wedding and reception that was held at Piedmont Tavern! Priscilla and Dave, I wish you guys the best!

In April of this year, The Georgia Mountain Laurel published an article about Revolution Church Atlanta, the church my dad pastors. I had taken a few photos during one of Jay Bakker’s recent trips to speak at Revolution Atlanta, and little did I know that one of them would be published! The article appeared in the 5th Anniversary Issue of the magazine. Even though this is a small feat, and its not even an amazing photo, its still pretty exciting seeing one of your very own photos in a magazine. This is my first published photo (that I know of)!

My good friend Jason Young lined up a shoot with a local DJ here in Atlanta. We tried some new stuff with gels and our fog machines bought last year during Halloween time. Thanks, Jason, Dan, and DJ Tone for an awesome shoot.
