laura & erik {wedding}

Remember these two cuties? I posted their engagement session a couple of months ago; you can see it here. I promised in my engagement post that I would tell you about their super cool wedding, so here goes.

When Laura called to talk photography, she told me that she was planning a dinner party for her closet friends and family, with a wedding ceremony thrown in the middle. And that is what she and Erik did!! The wedding/dinner party took place at Anthony's Fine Dining, in Atlanta (Buckhead, for those of you familiar with the city), and the whole evening was wonderful - sweet, intimate and special.

I had such fun with all of the pretty details!


Laura and Erik agreed to meet each other prior to the ceremony, so that we could take advantage of the pretty location for photos.













I was playing with a new lens - I love this pic of Erik!



Aren't Laura's flowers pretty?

I just loved all of the detail - I was shooting with another new lens - I just love it!! (The 16-35mm, 2.8L lens, for those of you that are wondering!)







Laura and Erik welcomed their guests with champagne. I thought this was a cute moment!

I made this moment happen! I thought this table and window was too cute to pass up! As you look at this, imagine all of their guests standing behind me with their own cameras clicking away!

The ceremony was very sweet - this is my favorite...

laura & erik -- engagement session

Sunday I had a very entertaining session with Laura and Erik!  We (Mom, Henry and I) went to their house in Atlanta where we used their yard for our engagement session background.  Laura and Erik are getting married on January 31, 2009 in a very cool, very small way; I'll tell you more about it when I post the wedding pics.

For now, here are some of my favorites:

When I suggested this pose, Laura and Erik immediately said that their friends wouldn't recognize them without their normal smiles -- they do a lot of smiling as you'll see in the rest of the images!  But, I still liked it....

This is one of my very favorites -- I love how comfortable they look together!

So, I hope Erik forgives me for posting this image -- I just couldn't help it -- I love his smile!  Can you see what I mean about the fun I had?

Laura, Erik, thanks for a fun session!!  I hope you enjoy the pics!
