The Griffith Observatory is an iconic landmark of Los Angeles located near Hollywood, and it’s a place that Angelenos and tourists seem to love equally! I met up with Nick + Nicole on a hazy Thursday night for a moody, edgy engagement-inspired couples’ shoot. Griffith Observatory is a perfect blend of nature and architecture, lending itself beautifully to both engagement sessions and elopements!
Read MoreHannah + Anthony had such a love-filled, gorgeous Summer wedding at Roswell River Landing. This riverfront venue is located in a popular suburb of Atlanta, about 20 minutes from downtown Atlanta, or about an hour from Hartsfield-Jackson Airport! From the hotel, we went to Roswell River Landing. This hybrid indoor/outdoor venue is located right on the Chattahoochee River -- better known as “The Hooch” to Georgians. While there are no rumored aliens at this particular “Roswell,” on a hot summer day you are 100% sure to see a UFO on the ‘hooch... that is, an unidentified FLOATING object (usually a sunburnt person playing country music and drinking beer). On a hot day like that - 99 degrees with 90+ percent humidity - there’s really nothing better than sitting your butt in an inner tube and floating down the river — it’s what Georgians call “Shootin the Hooch”. Half the bridal party was strongly considering joining the floaters until the sun went down!
Read MoreGlacier Point is a sight in Yosemite that will leave you absolutely wonderstruck. From Glacier Point, visitors can take in a panoramic view of Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, and Yosemite’s high country from an elevation of 7,214 feet. Needless to say, it’s a pretty epic location to commit your life to your partner. The National Park System Yosemite page says it best: “Not just a great valley, but a shrine to human foresight, the strength of granite, the power of glaciers, the persistence of life, and the tranquility of the High Sierra.”

After a short hike we took photos surrounded by caves, mountains, fields, and wildflowers all just a few minutes from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood.
Read MoreClick here to see a summertime downtown Atlanta couples session! Hillary + Davis were super energetic and playful, and we had the best time visiting Revolution Donuts, Jackson Street Bridge, and a rooftop with the perfect backdrop of Atlanta’s Skyview Ferris Wheel at Centennial Park. If you’re looking for an Atlanta engagement photographer, wedding photographer, or couples photographer (like these two), I’d love to talk more!
