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.

Joy & Seth's Reception Video

Completed the reception video and wanted to share this with Joy & Seth. This is the second video in the set, please see the first video as well.

The music on this second video is from Curtis Jones (guitarist) & Martin Norgaard (violinist) and the song is an original composition entitled Garden at the Asylum. I license all the music for my websites from Curtis and I am his exclusive photographer. Curtis is a fantastic musician and I wanted to share his beautiful music with everyone on this video.

Joy & Seth's online proofing gallery will be available in the next couple of days and I will post an announcement as soon as it goes live.

Joy & Seth's Wedding Video

I just completed the production of the first of two wedding videos from their March 27th, 2010 ceremony and reception at Forrest Hills Resort. This video contains images from the preparations of Joy and Seth and the wedding party, formal and candid images of the wedding party and the ceremony.

A second video is under production and will contain images from the reception. I hope everyone enjoys this video and if anyone would like a high resolution DVD that you can stick in your home theater system's DVD player and watch it large on your television please contact me.

Enjoy the video; if you are connecting to the Internet via dial-up or a slow connection you may want to turn off the High Quality feed by clicking the HQ button on the control panel. However, if you are experiencing interruptions while the video is streaming my recommendation is let it play through one time completely and after it has streamed completely the video will play without a hitch thereafter.

Joy & Seth a Mountain Wedding

Joy and Seth are an amazing young couple. Deeply involved with the ministry of their church and both are youth mentors. On March 27th, 2010 they were married in a beautiful ceremony in the mountains of north Georgia. The wedding took place at Forrest Hills Resort at their beautiful outdoor gazebo nestled in the foothills just east of Amicalola Falls. It was a beautiful sunny day and their families and guests had a wonderful experience.

There will be several more posts of images from the wedding and an Animoto video of several hundred of the still images; so, check back often this week as I post more images as I complete the processing. Their gallery will be available online before the end of next week and I will make an announcement once it's available.

I want to thank my wife Barbara, my second shooters Kristy Dickerson and Steve Glass and my assistants, who also captured some amazing images, Alex Smith and Dana Hornbeck for all their hard work and amazing results. I can't wait to show the bride and groom what we captured with our cameras. Here are just a few shots from their beautiful day; again, many more images to follow. The total images captured before I began the culling process was over 6,000. We'll whittle that down to around 2,000 images for Joy and Seth.
