I'm determined to get caught up on blogging. If you knew how many weddings and shoots I was behind you'd either laugh or have a new level of respect for me. Probably laugh though. Last New Year's Eve was spent in Atlanta shooting the out-of-control-awesome wedding/vow renewal of Ami and Scott. They had a beautifully intimate celebration and I'm so glad Jessica brought me along!

If you remember from the rehearsal images at Turner Field I shot film that week. It was a lot of fun. I love choosing in the moment whether to shoot in black and white or color. Shooting black and white in camera has always annoyed me in digital. I always wonder if I would have liked the shot better in color so I just don't do it. With film its different, I love black and white film so much I never think that. On to the images.

I love these first few of Ami right after getting dressed.

Scott knows how to work it for the camera too.

A few portraits around the venue. It was COLD that day. Ami was such a trooper!

I love this series right before Ami heads down the aisle!

During the cocktail hour they had blackjack tables set up. So fun!

Ahhhh details. This wedding was FULL of amazing details. The two long tables might have been the best I've ever seen. Just amazing.

I love black and white film so much. It even makes the table shots interesting.

Ami and Scott hired professional dancers to entertain during dinner and to teach the guests during the dancing, it was such a hit.

Ami and her dad. Love his expression.

This little series was during the same day edit the videographers showed. It was awesome and got some great reactions from the couple.

Happy New Year!

I love love love all of the shots, but especially the first two b&w close ups of the details of her dress/shoes. It shows there is NOTHING like film. You've inspired me to use film for my wedding shoot this weekend. Wonderful images. Kristen

I love the the B&W pics. I especially like the noise on the first few; are you shooting with Nikon or Canon?

ok. really. I want to take a workshop, meet you, something. you amaze me. a true photographer... you know how to use film (i can say i don't). that long aisle shot is so so beautiful. I also love the one where Ami turns and looks at the camera just before heading down the stairs. The light in the window color shots is perfect. Should i go on and on. ps - i still need to have some "engagement" type photos done. i did the avatar ones already while you were booked.

I first saw images of this wedding on Jessica's blog. Seeing more here I seriously think this must have been one of the best weddings of ALL TIME! I hope that couple is blessed with happiness their entire lives. Great work M!
