At the end of February I get to shoot another wedding at Bradford House and Gardens in Flowery Branch GA. This is my top venue; I love to shoot there because of the down-home feel and hospitality that is shown to guests and vendors. It's a beautiful place with great food and ample space for intimate weddings.
Lauren and Drew (and Lisa) have picked me to follow them on February 26th. This is one of those occasions that I know will be special. There's a family dynamic between Lauren and her future in-laws unlike anything I have ever seen. It's a pretty remarkable thing when a family is so accepting that it's almost like an adoption, an emotional commitment. Bonds like that are hard to break, and a family that strong will withstand almost anything.
It's been a tough start to 2010 for the O'Learys. A workplace tragedy that made national news hit home, and "going to work" changed forever for Bill. This is an event that even touched my life, as I used to work for their "competitor". Proven through these events, just as I expected, the O'Learys are classy people with big hearts. Lauren will fit in perfectly!
We shot engagement pictures for a couple of hours in historic downtown Buford GA and the Mall of GA. Lauren and Drew wasted no time loosening up for the camera! It was very easy getting them to pretend I wasn't even there - they were pretty caught up in each other! Toward the end, Drew and I realized we used to bowl in a league together. Small world huh?!
Congratulations to all of you! I can clearly tell that this is more than just a wedding of 2 people, but a joining of 2 families that will create great memories, endless support, memorable holidays and a beautiful Forever Endeavor.
