I hear that question sometimes.   Or I see comments on facebook, stating that, “I can’t see anything above his nose.” These questions and comments make me smile.  The photographs aren’t accidents.  And they’re some of my favorites.   They take the focus off the person (or people) as a whole and put it on the moment in time.  And…

Chris And Joy Got Married {Acworth Georgia Outdoor Lake Wedding}

Although these two were high school sweethearts, it took a couple of decades for them to find each other again. It seems fitting that they got married in the little chapel on the shore of Acworth Lake where they grew up. Hiking and exploring the surrounding woods in high school. And fishing for dinner just…
