Andrea and Michael :: The Georgian Terrace

Dear, dear blog... I have not been attending you as I should have. I am sincerely sorry... I have been thinking about you everyday as I attend to my photo excursions. I have been doing so many exciting things lately... I sprained my ankle Friday evening after tossing myself down a flight of brick stairs. :) Then, Saturday, I photographed Corie and Keith's wedding in the crazy storm... we were outside of the city, but were certainly lived through the torrential downpours. I promise to post those (along with other exciting things I have been attending to of late) very soon.

For now, I have some very, very fun shots from Andrea and Michael's engagement sitting downtown Atlanta. We started off on the roof of the Georgian Terrace... the view was spectacular from up there. I could see the Kodak sign on Ponce... :)


We went inside after that and made some portraits on the white, marble stairwell. I shot this first one while they chatted and I think it is adorable. Then, they danced on the stairwell's landing.

By the time we got back outside, the light was beautiful... I love the warmth in this one. Those blues work well together,too. I was really playing with those blues and yellows on this shoot. I really feel like they suit Andrea... I love the coolness in this shirt she picked out.
Then, we headed back out the front door.
The entrance is so beautiful here, but what makes this shot for me, is the gesture in their embrace...
My favorite part about this shot, is that the shadow on the bottom of the frame is a perfectly timed car, turning the corner at the same instant that they dipped... it really topped off the composition.
Then, we headed across the street, across from the Fox and found more beautiful golds to work with. The itsy bitsy bit of lens flare helps the image feel more intimate.
