Edge Design Group Open House. Atlanta Wedding Vendors

March 26, 2011 – 1:30 am

Last night one of the best decorating teams in Atlanta, Edge Design Group, threw a little party to celebrate their new location on Faulkner Road in Atlanta. Maxine and Gabrielle are a dynamic, creative, fresh mother daughter team that consistently tranforms every venue they touch into a stunning masterpiece. Located at 2164 Faulkner Road in Atlanta, Edge Design has a beautiful showroom with examples of tables tops and crystal walk through chandeliers and centerpieces. The first time I worked with them was on Atlanta’s first Platinum Wedding filmed for WE TV and their aqua blue orchid and crystal chandeliers were like nothing I had ever seen before. They really are amazing.

The invitation said “bites and sips” and I was excited to find that the bites were provided by the wonderful Endive Fine Catering Company led by Chef Drew Ihrig

Brian from F and G Weddings is a top notch Wedding Planner who always brings the fabulous. This is his beautiful mom from Barbados, visiting for a few weeks to check up on him.

DJ Tron and his cousin.

Cakes were designed and created by Lisa at Couture Cakes Inc

They have a lot more space now to store and organize their plethura of decorations. Categorized by groups such as Iron, Glass, Metal, Vases, Florals, Tables, and just about anything you can think of. They’ve got it.

Bobby & the Aristocats {01 six 10}

January 15, 2010 – 1:54 am

I had the privilege of meeting and photographing Bobby and the Aristocats last October at the wedding of Leah and Joseph and I was enthralled by them. Really. I felt like I should have paid money to be there and I might have even missed a few shots at the reception because I was so captivated by the entertaining qualities of this incredible band. A few weeks later I was contacted by Linda, Bobby’s wife and singer-extraordinaire and she asked if I would come to Sambuca’s and photograph the band for an evening of Jazz. I LOVED being their personal photographer and was thrilled to shoot for them again last week at the second issue release party for the fabulous magazine, Atlanta Occasions. Ventanas, the incredible new rooftop event space that encompasses the top two floors of the Park Pavilion building in the Luckie Marietta district gave a breathtaking view of the city and a perfect backdrop for incredible music.

St. Regis Sales & Marketing Crew {9 three 9}

September 6, 2009 – 3:31 am

It was a top secret project for the team at St.Regis, it involves Starwood hotels all over the world. A company sales blitz called “amazing race” so we hiked all the way up to Stone Mountain, decked out in cocktail dreses and suits non-the-less, at a chance to win a million dollars.

Just kidding. I’m not exactly sure what it’s all about….I’m just excited about the images. LOL.
We rode the gondola to the top and took a huge container of bloddy mary mix. (virgin, come on now!) and snapped some very cool images if I do say so myself. It’s their signature drink and this is their phenomenal sales and marketing crew. Below, L to R is Harrison, Spenser, Dawn (the boss) Mary, Lindsey, Trey, Julia and Katie. You guys are Rock Stars!

Top Notch Wedding Consultants

November 23, 2008 – 11:28 pm

Gail Johnson and Hester Parks are the very modern, very chic team that is Wedding Soiree, a full-service bridal consultancy, design and management group based in Atlanta, Georgia. I’ve worked with this fabulous team on a few occasions and am happy to say that I now call them my friends. We met last week to do a PR shoot for their new marketing plan and because they are just plain awesome and everyone needs to know it.

They have a chic office in the Decatur area and always have cutting edge ideas and tips on their BLOG. Known for their impecable style and these totally yummy cupcakes ( thanks again ladies, the girls loved them!) we had a great time creating some stylish images.

Like The River

October 23, 2008 – 12:00 pm

I recently did a model/salon shoot for Like the River Salon in Atlanta. Najah and Lateefah Aziz are sisters and owners of this hip, stylish salon and they have huge hearts as they have made a point to give back to the community. Four times a year they give free services to battered women in the downtown area and also breast cancer survivors and troubled teens. How awesome is that? The shoot was designed to showcase the work of the stylists and update their website. Here is a first hand look at their style. You guys rock.
