Kim & Kenn’s Wedding | Peachtree Christian Church & Wimbish House | October 22, 2011

mprosser — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 17:50:19 +0000

Kim and Kenn. What a stunning couple. Seriously. While I have been editing their photos this week I have very affectionately called Kim my barbie bride. I think Kim is the image of a bride that all of us little girls dream of being on our wedding day. The beautiful long hair, amazing veil, big ball gown and that perfect smile! See for yourself below! This was a great one to work on with some of my favorite vendors. Peachtree Christian Church and Wimbish House were the spots, coordinating by Bash Atlanta, food and decor by the always fabulous Bold American, and DJ Gary Braner! Congrats to this handsome couple!

Nisy and Kevin are such a sweet couple! Several times during their reception they both came up to me and my team and made sure we were ok, had dinner, and were having a good time!

This amazing couple, along with five hundred guests had a BEAUTIFUL Christian Indian ceremony at The Salvation Army Church, then the Gwinnett Marriott hosted their reception with FORTY EIGHT tables! Yep! Forty Eight! I have never seen that many tables in one spot. And the awesome thing about their day is most of these guests were family! Nisy and Kevin, I think you are quite a well loved couple.

Jim & Ruth’s Wedding | Vines Mansion | November 6, 2010

mprosser — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 19:57:13 +0000

November 6th found me back at Vines Mansion in Loganville, Georgia. Jim and Ruth hosted a beautiful outdoor wedding followed by one of the best dance parties I have seen in a while. The dancing took place upstairs in the mansion, when I walked downstairs to get a new flash, the ceiling was literally shaking from the dancing upstairs! That’s a sign of a good party! Ruth looked absolutely beautiful for the big event. I see a LOT of wedding dresses in my day, but Ruth’s was one that I will remember. So beautiful and different! Anyway, enough talk, now onto the photos and SLIDESHOW.

I love this shot. So timeless and elegant.

Jim was giving us the "come hither" face!

I ADORE this shot of Jim. Thanks to Curtis for this amazing one! Jim's last few moments of being not married!

I love children at weddings. You never know what's going to happen.

Here she comes!

I love this! It was a bit cold outside, you can see the goosebumps on her arms.

This little man and his top hat. LOVE HIM.

I love outdoor ceremonies. Allows for much more flexibility to move around and get the shot!

Hugs and kisses down the receiving line.

Beautiful fall day for a beautiful couple!

OMG!

Onto the partying… This crowd got down!

Not even quite sure...

favorite moment of the night. thriller attacked Jim's mom!

This guy man. He was the dancing star of the night!

party on!

No doubt in my mind these two will stand the test of time! Thanks so much for having us join in your celebration! Thanks to my team, Shauna and Curtis for their help!

Zahra & Anthony’s Wedding | Le Bam | July 2, 2010

mprosser — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 22:16:04 +0000

If you are having a small wedding, do yourself a favor and check out Le Bam This venue is truly one of a kind! It was the perfect setting for Zahra and Anthony’s daytime wedding This wedding had a first for me. We experienced a power outage during preparation! I would have been freaking out if this were my big day, but Zahra held it together perfectly. Even had a smile on her face Luckily the power was just off for about an hour, and then everything else went on without a hitch! Below are a few of my favorites from the day, but be sure to check out the SLIDESHOW for some more fun!

Beautiful cakes from www.onceuponacake.net

I know this photo is a bit dark, but that's the whole point. All of the power in Midtown went OUT for an hour during our getting ready process! Zahra was a trooper and rolled with the punches, and even had a smile on her face!

More backstory, Zahra was on crutches for her wedding! Poor thing had an injured foot. Once again, kept on smiling and was carried down the aisle. Love it!

my favorite from the ceremony

Woohoo! We're married!

So Anthony seems to be a very serious guy... BUT when he gets around Zahra he just lights up with this fantastic smile! I love this of the two of them.

Zahra and Anthony, I wish you many many years of married bliss Thanks for hiring me sight unseen! It was great to meet you and celebrate your wedding day! Big thanks to Brian and Meg for helping me out!

mprosser — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 02:27:19 +0000

It’s always nice to shoot a wedding in January! I love when a couple does something different, and this wedding was just that! I got to help out my great friend Brian Steele at Chloe & Jeff’s wedding. This day was awesome! I have never seen such a worshipful ceremony. You can tell that this couple loves God, loves each other, and will have a great journey together in life. They even washed each others feet during the service. Here are a few of my favorite photos.

This was such an awesome first for me to photograph! Especially while I was hiding on the stage,

What a fun group this was! I think the garter and bouquet toss pictures say that enough Thanks again Brian for having me come out! I had fun being a part of your team. Many congrats to Jeff and Chloe! I wish you guys many years of happiness!

Ashley and Joey Tindell are such an amazing couple! I met with them about a month before their wedding. They were just ready to get married, and made it happen in about a six week engagement!

Laura & Ryan’s Wedding at the Frazer Center and Le Bam | September 26, 2009

mprosser — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 21:49:38 +0000

This wedding makes wedding number two that I photographed in the downpour of 2009 in Georgia! Surprisingly though, these last two weddings are two of my favorites, and for good reasons!

Laura and Ryan held a beautiful wedding in the atrium at the Frazer Center and then a wonderfully eclectic reception at the coolest art space I have ever been inside; Le Bam. The newlyweds handled the rain with stride (it’s good luck anyway!) and the guests were amazing! We all had a blast in helping celebrate Laura and Ryan’s new adventure together. Below are a few of my favorites, but please check out the SLIDESHOW for more photos!

Such cute petite feet!

I love the simplicity of this image.

Such a beautiful bride.

Yes, it was raining that hard.

Love this shot.

Look at the rain outside the window. Crazy right?

Thanks Brian for finding this cool shot!

I ADORE Le Bam! Such an awesome backdrop!

I love this shot of the girls. Probably one of my favorite bridesmaids dress.

The moon room.
