experience FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHERS

Photographer’s Note Our Story. We are Chris and Melinda, a husband and wife wedding photography team in Atlanta, GA. Our love of music brought us together. I (Melinda) found Chris on Myspace. After getting to know each other online, we met at a concert at the Masquerade. Chris proposed to me at the Starlight Drive-In in Atlanta. We were married at our church and had a “1950s” theme for our wedding. Now we live happily in Alpharetta with our English Bull Terrier named Cypress.

Chris got his start in photography by working in portrait studios. But he decided he could better serve his clients by venturing on his own. I went to college for art and took classes in black and white film photography, graphic design, and painting and drawing.

It was after I graduated that we decided to combine our talents and form a wedding photography team.

Our Approach. We believe our husband & wife team provides a special advantage to our brides because they have two photographers that are experienced working together. Our lighting and artistic vision are what makes our photography unique. We provide a combination of posed and candid photos that capture the emotions of the day.

Interesting Facts. In addition to photography, I also paint and draw photo-realistic pet portraits. I love all animals and I am a vegetarian. In our free time, we enjoy going on walks in the park with our dog. Also, I love coffee. We love to travel and go on road trips.

Thank you for considering us to be your photographers on your special day. We would love to meet you!

THE GUIDE

Everyone wants to look their best on their wedding day. By removing distractions, we ensure all focus is on you.

We are anything but vanilla. Your photos are sure to stand out with our unique lighting and style.

the experience

{WHAT TO EXPECT} After the initial contact, we will have an in person consultation (or over Skype) to see if we are the perfect fit for your wedding.

When you sign our contract and make a deposit your wedding date is booked. {BEFORE THE BIG DAY} We will help you create a photography timeline to help make the day go as smoothly as possible. We encourage our brides to make a list of absolute must have shots. We can send you a general shot list to get you started. {THE DAY OF THE WEDDING} We usually arrive early to look around for photo locations. Typically we cover the preparation, first look if desired, ceremony and reception details, the ceremony, bridal party, family formal photos, the bride and groom, reception, and anything else agreed upon. {AFTER THE HONEYMOON} Editing and retouching can take up to 4-6 weeks. We will also pre-design your album. Once your photos are finished, we will schedule a viewing session so you can order your prints and make any changes to your album. If possible, we will hand deliver your fine art prints and digital files.

what’s hot

Consider an “Unplugged Wedding”

A new trend is making an announcement to guests to turn off their cell phones and cameras and enjoy the wedding ceremony.

Let the professional photographer capture the moment. The photographer’s shot will not be blocked by guests’ iPads or phones so the bride gets the best photos. During the reception, guests are encouraged to take as many photos as they want.

We loved working with Chris and Melinda! They met twice with us before the wedding to make sure we got exactly what we wanted in the photography. They have a wonderful eye and really brought out the spirit of the event through the photos. Loved the unique photos that really made the memories special! We would use them for any event!

-Liz

I’m so glad we chose Chris and Melinda as our wedding photographers! From our Skype meeting to receiving our photos in the mail (with a hand written note!) they went out of their way to make us happy. On the wedding day, they were both great! Even though the rainy weather changed plans a bit, Chris and Melinda were very professional and best of all captured every special moment of our special day. I would highly recommend this husband and wife team to anyone looking for great photographers.
