Cliff Mautner
Cliff is a fantastic wedding photographer, one of the best in the world. He doesn't need a plug from me, trust me, he has achieved a number of well deserved accolades, but he is a personal favorite. To me, what makes a really great photographer is his or her personal style. To distill it down for idiots like myself, it's what makes him different that makes him special. He is a master of low light composition and he creates incredibly beautiful and poignant images that capture the essence of his clients. Suffice to say, I am a huge fan.
David Ziser
David Ziser is incredible. I recently attended his conference as he toured 60 cities across the USA and I learned a ton sitting in the audience in the Atlanta Hyatt in Buckhead about how to create dramatic lighting with a Qflash and a speedlight. I was fortunate enough to shake his hand and tell him thanks for be so open and giving; it was his character and his willingness to share the knowledge he has accumulated over 30 years that impressed me, but it was his personal charm that endeared him to me. What a great human being.
Joe McNally
Joe McNally is one of the premiere professional photographers on the planet. He shoots Nikon and I read anything he writes, listen to anything he says and is one of the ten people I would love to have a cup of coffee with one day.
Kevin Kubota
Voted one of the world's best wedding photographers, his work is beautiful and astounding. Additionally, Kevin is a Photoshop guru and markets a number of action products and tutorials for Lightroom workflow and album production. I had a chance to meet Kevin for the first time at a WPPI Roadshow here in Atlanta in September of 2009. He was affable and down to earth and enjoyed his presentation and learned a few things as he spoke.
Kristy Dickerson
Kristy is a fantastic photographer that I have had the pleasure to shoot a few weddings with. I love her style and she has a beautiful sense of timing and a great eye. She is very talented and establishes a great rapport with clients; they just love her.
Marcus Bell
Marcus Bell is a phenomenal photographer from down under. Very talented Nikon shooter that is extremely versatile and a really talented wedding shooter.
Steve Glass
A consummate professional with a real flair for the artistic and amazing timing on the shutter. He is a fantastic talent at capturing those tantalizing candid shots at weddings. Always learning, teaching and growing in his craft. His style is unique, distinctive and beautiful. Steve is a personal friend, but more than that he is a brother from a different mother, someone who shoots me straight, no varnish, no sauce, just the facts and I appreciate his honesty and candor more than he'll ever know. God bless him and his family and if you are looking for a finger on a trigger he's your guy.
Thom Hogan
Premiere nature photographer, Nikon equipment expert, prolific author of exceptional DSLR & Flash eBooks.
Tricia Whitmer
Tricia is a fantastic photographer. Her portrait and wedding work is amazing and worth a look. She is an inspiration to me and a fabulous talent that recently shared some of her trade secrets in a workshop; money well spent and I highly recommend you attend one of her workshops if you ever get the opportunity.

Candi & Sam - From Mississippi with Love

Barbara and I had the distinct pleasure to meet Candi and Sam at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens for their engagement shoot. They are such a sweet couple, good looking, fun loving and so grounded. They have been dating for eight years and will be getting married this fall at the Atrium. We can't wait to be there and document their official beginning, but trust me when I tell you these guys are so in love and it was so obvious they are well on their way to a lifetime of married bliss.

We really enjoyed getting to know them and the more we learned the more we fell in love with these two. Barbara and I have officially adopted them and we wish them more happiness than their hearts can handle. We sat down and ate ribs at Fat Matt's Rib Shack, awesome eats, on Piedmont and listened to some live blues swapped stories. What a great day to be a photographer, meeting Candi and Sam makes it all worthwhile.

Here is a shot from our session and we'll be posting more soon and can't wait to shoot their wedding.

Heather & Greg at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens

I met Heather and Greg at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens for an engagement session on Sunday and we spent about four hours getting to know each other and getting some incredible images. Steve Glass was gracious enough to accompany us and assist with the shoot; thanks buddy.

The park was just gorgeous, as it always is any time of year. Luckily, we were blessed with really good weather and had a real nice day at the gardens. Greg and Heather are a fantastic couple, great looking, friendly and so much fun. We got some great shots and we had a great a real blast. I have been so blessed to have a plethora of extraordinary clients and I have been blessed to add two more to that fine list.

Here are a few shots and an Animoto video will follow in the next few days.
