EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY | RECEPTION

14369746626_9684f68803_bMy good friends Jonny and Ashley exchanged vows in Florida but because they are loved so much by their Atlanta family who didn’t want to miss out on celebrating the nuptials we all pulled together and hosted a reception for them in their own backyard last month. I took on the duty of decorating with all of my rustic findings from home, including deer antlers, mason jars, drift wood, vintage Readers Digest and other knickknacks. Friends brought additional decor that really pulled everything together like flowers and burlap.

14206228048_653d28ea97_bThere are lots of special things about J+A’s home but one of the coolest parts is that they built the back porch all by themselves! Additionally they commissioned mutual friend Olive to do the bird mural on the back of their home. Bet you’re realizing why we choose to do it at their house!

I’m especially proud of these since I planned it, decorated and snapped the photos.  I couldn’t have done it without the help of many, so thanks! (y’all know who you are!)

insta-faves 02I was pleased with how the other INSTA-FAVES post turned out so thought I’d make it a thing here on LF. I’ll post when I have four images saved to my phone of similar aesthetic.  Just like the other post, here, I’ll share the image source and what you can expect to see if you follow the account.  This entry’s theme is food/kitchen!

Here you will find not only pretty clothes from their web store and catalog but also event coverage and inspiring home decor.  After seeing this photo I immediately checked out the Mason Shaker site and added their products to my wet bar wishlist-good stuff!

Here you will find stunning food photography, blog updates, home decor inspiration, Beth’s travel photos and more!  I know you’re wondering about that moon mug so I’ll spare you the research, it’s by Small Spells.

Here you will find all things authentic from a photographers moment, food, families, decor and lots more all capturing America in it’s finest.  This is a blueberry lavender pie, I repeat. BLUEBERRY LAVENDER!

Hope you enjoyed! Soft launch of our website is coming tomorrow, can’t tell you yet but it’s going to be a goodie and I’ll definitely share soon!

weekend wear 04

14151188680_56947076fc_bAfter a packed out weekend I’m finally getting to posting about one of the adventures Dustin and I had downtown. Through a Scoutmob “Handpicked” deal we went on a ferris wheel ride, had an app, dinner and dessert at Park Bar all for $49.00! I’d link the deal but I just checked and it’s sold out, sorry but be sure to sign up for their emails, so many goodies! Ever since Skyview Ferris Wheel made it’s debut in ATL we’ve wanted to go and it never happened so I planned it into one of our date nights.  It was neat to see the city from a birds-eye-view! Whether you’ve lived here forever or visiting, it’s a must do!

14151153198_f5fcda832f_bOur deal included the “banana boat” app at Park Bar which is fried plantains, pimento cheese with BACON! Oh my goodness these were so tasty!

14151147898_f1d03aa999_b 14151141229_a4cc7ca71e_bCaptureI had to use my Iphone for all these photos because I left my camera battery at home. I’ve done this a couple times lately, you’d think I’d learn to check. That type of forgetfulness is relatively new, hope it’s doesn’t stick around!  Thank goodness for the incredible technology we have, I hate missing cute moments!

14151142689_2c7af19ca0_bSeeing the city in the day time was cool but we both thought going again when it’s Christmas time and everything is lit up-especially since Centennial Olympic Park goes all out with the decorations-would be real pretty and romantic!

Aside from this adventure, we went to two cookouts, wound up at MJQ for Noot D’ Noot’s last show (EVER!) and I shot a studio visit that I’ll share more about when a certain website my roommate and I have created launches this week-STAY TUNED!

What I’m wearing: Gap shirt, Free People hat and jeans, UO shoes, Jcrew Bag and TOMS sunglasses.
