SURPRISE Anniversary Session at Piedmont Park | Atlanta, Georgia

Yesterday marked the first anniversary of this gorgeous couple! Jordan initially contacted me to photograph her courthouse wedding to her [then] fiance, Jason. Ya’ll know I love a courthouse wedding. Ben and I were married at DeKalb County Courthouse in 2013 and I’ve since photographed two private weddings at the same location (see here and here). So fun! I love Decatur and have actually photographed several weddings at unique venues throughout the city. When this couple changed their location to Wahoo Grill Decatur I was thrilled to see what it would be like! It was beautiful – Jason and Jordan added so many of their own special and unique touches and that’s what truly makes this type of day so special. Plus, did I mention they’re totally gorg?? Here are some of my favorites from that day.

About a month ago, I received an email from Jason who wanted to SURPRISE Jordan on their first anniversary with a special photo session. How fun and thoughtful is that?! It was a first for me and I loved being included in another special milestone for them! I was waiting for them when they parked at Piedmont Park and the day could not have been a more beautiful spring day for being outdoors! It’s so awesome when you truly vibe with clients and they become your friends. I feel really blessed when this happens and so appreciative that I’m able to pursue this passion of mine. I had a great time chatting and laughing with them as we walked around the park a bit together. Then Jason surprised her with a private cabana at Park Tavern for drinks and yummy eats. After their food arrived I left them to it. Here are a few of my faves from Sunday.
