Wine Lovers

Krisitian and Bryan were married a couple years ago and chose a beautiful destination for their small wedding. Krisitan and I have been in touch since the planning stages of their wedding and when she emailed to see if I could do a portrait of them, I was so excited to finally work with them. It's funny how small the world really is. Kristian works at the corporate offices for PPA, the professional organization for photographers that I'm a member of and Bryan works at AutoTrader.com where I have been photographing events for three years. It's fun to find those connections - I guess we were destined to work together.

We met at Piedmont Park after the threat of rain all weekend panned out to no rain at all. Love the weather forecasters! Since K & B love wine, we thought it'd be fun to bring along a bottle and blanket to picnic in the park. Nothing like wine to take the edge off being photographed. :)


At the end of the portrait, we looked out onto the lake and saw a family of geese crossing the water and a family of ducks at the edge feeding the ducklings and mamma. Dad stood guard while they all ate. I love how Bryan expressed the adorable scene. "Dad's taking the family to the store and waiting in the car with the motor running." So cute.



Here's the slideshow!
