Love Is All You Need-Atlanta Wedding Photographer

November 22, 2010 by megansampsel

The first weekend in October I had the fortune to photograph some dear friends wedding. The wedding was on the gorgeous campus of Berry College in Rome, Georgia. I have to say, I was beyond nervous. Shannon and Andy are dear friends of mine and I wanted their images to be perfect! I can’t thank my awesome second shooter Robin Shetler enough…she was an amazing help and took some fantastic shots throughout the day.

Andy and Shannon were so incredible to work with all day…..super relaxed and super excited for their special day. They chose to have a “first look” before their ceremony, so we had a couple of hours to play and get some fantastic portraits of them seeing each other for the first time in their dress and tux. All of these photos were taken on the Berry College campus. I have so many favorites from the wedding, but here are a few. Andy and Shannon, thanks so much for letting me be a part of this incredible day. It was really a special experience for me to be a part of!

You can check out the video I made by clicking on the link! http://static.animoto.com/swf/w.swf?w=swf/vp1&e=1290558706&f=vrHAzPF6YHp3QEfQ0HalmQ&d=200&m=b&r=w&i=m&options=

This is one of my all time favortie shots…..ever.

Shannon and her father, Danny, walking down the aisle!

Meet the new Mr. and Mrs.!

Older sister, Renee, gave a touching toast to the happy couple….

It made Shannon a tad weepy…

I put together a little slide show of my favorite images that you can check out by clicking on the link below. Sorry I couldn’t embed it, but apparently WordPress and Animoto don’t play nice together.

Thanks! Also mean to ask- what kind of lighting did you use on the family portraits inside the chapel? It looks really soft and even. I’ve had trouble in the past with dimly lit churches.
