National Cathedral Engagement Session: Kelly and Ian

Jessica Rayborn Photography — Wed, 16 May 2012 07:45:31 +0000

I mentioned before that I was in DC for a few days and had the oppertunity to meet up with Kelly and Ian for their engagement session. This was such a wonderful engagement session. I absolutely love Kelly and Ian – it was a blast catching up and just hanging out with them. Plus, I always enjoy traveling and shooting in new places, so the Cathedral was a real treat for me. We lucked out with the weather too. Rain had been in the forecast for most of the week so I was a little nervous it would be pouring down on the one day we could meet. No rain in sight the day of the session, just a beautiful blue sky for these lovebirds. I’ve got to give a hand to Kelly and Ian, they were troopers – I had them trekking through the grounds, standing here and sitting there. They were so natural infront of the camera that they really made my job super easy.

We wrapped up the engagement session in Georgetown with photos by the canal and a wonderful meal at Pizziera Paradiso. I’m looking forward to seeing Kelly and Ian again at their wedding in Virgnia this October!

Welcome Baby Jack

My friends Katie and Sven are celebrating the arrival of their beautiful little boy, Jack. I’ve been on the road these last few weeks and thought it would be great to add a couple days in DC to meet the newest member of their family. He is so little and perfect… it’s absolutely precious. Congratulations Katie and Sven – I couldn’t be happier for you!

Jessica and Jesse are amazing! I had such a great time with them during their engagement session at Roswell Mill. The energy was high and they kept me laughing the whole time. I kept smiling because Jessica was so enamored with Jesse. Throughout the whole session, Jessica kept saying, “isn’t he so handsome?” – seriously the cutest thing ever! I’m looking forward to their vineyard wedding this summer. It’s going to be a beautiful celebration!

Georgian Terrace Wedding: Meagan and Kevin

I love meeting new people… being a photographer is a perfect job for that too!

This time not only did I meet a wonderful bride and groom, but I met a fantastic photographer, Leslie Walker. Leslie is a talented photographer from Nashville who asked me to second shoot with her and her husband Dusty. I was more than happy to help and meet a new friend. I loved working with Leslie and Dusty – they were so laid back and personable. They made me feel right at home and a part of the team.

Here is just a peak at Meagan and Kevin’s beautiful Georgian Terrace wedding.

Atlanta Botanical Garden Wedding: Crystal and Nick

The Atlanta Botanical Gardens is a beautiful setting for any special occasion, especially a glamours wedding like Crystal and Nick’s. The couple wanted the beauty of nature with a touch of city life to their wedding, so fo course the gardens was an obvious choice. I love how Atlanta’s skyline beams through the garden giving it a new feel during the evening.

I loved their romatic garden wedding by the gazeboo in the Trustees Garden.Blossoms Atlanta was the florist for the wedding and did a beautiful job enhancing an already stunning site. I loved the little touches like the wicker balls on the end of the ceremony chairs and the simple glass dishes with the beautiful arrangements inside.

Following the ceremony friends and family headed to Mershon Hall for the reception. With the weather being as wonderful as it’s been this spring, Crystal and Nick opened the veranda doors and extended the celebration into the courtyard. Instead of doing their first dance indoors, they decided to do it just outside the Hall. What a cute idea – the lite hall made for a dramatic background for their dance.

Below are a combination of images from myself and Aaron Yung, who came out from Nashville to second shoot with me!

P.S: A huge thank you to Emily from Sun In My Belly for helping coordinate the day and keeping the wedding running smoothly.

A few days ago I got together with Nidhi and Justin for Part I of their engagement session at Piedmont Park. There’s nothing I love more than strolling in the park on a busy evening just as the sun is about to set. The park is so lively at that time and being with Nidhi and Justin made it all the better!

Krog Street Photography: Cindy and DJ

In case you couldn’t tell by the picture, Cindy and DJ are awesome!!! I had a lot of fun hanging out with these two and grabbing a few images of them in and around Krog Street. Cindy and DJ have a lot of fans too… everyone kept beeping or yelling as they passed by. This provided us great entertainment but next time I’ll pack ear plugs.
