Melissa and Doug's 9th Anniversary Portrait Session at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, GA

Check out Melissa and Doug's adorably fun 9th anniversary portrait session at Piedmont Park. I knew Melissa and Doug would be a fun couple when they introduced themselves and said, but we're not that Melissa and Doug - referring to the toy manufacturer. Melissa and Doug met in Detroit, and moved to Atlanta so Doug could do his residency and Melissa taught 1st grade. Currently they live in Michigan, have been married for 9 years and have 4 kids! They were on vacation in Atlanta without the kids and decided to have a fun portrait session with just the two of them. They picked Piedmont Park because they lived down the street from the park when they lived in Atlanta. They created many memories at the park, including taking their dog Koda to the dog park and welcoming their first born and taking her for walks. They even took her photo at the park for their very first Christmas card!

I've known Trevor forever, or at least since he was born! Our families are close friends and many of my childhood memories include him - especially Thanksgiving! It was such an honor for me to photograph his and Ellen's engagement session and wedding.We started at Ellen's friend's condo, which had an amazing view of the city!We went to Piedmont Park for the rest of the session.  Trevor and Ellen brought their dog Bruiser for some of the photos, since he's part of the family too.  Plus, he's so photogenic!I love how happy Trevor looks getting a kiss from Ellen!We took a few more skyline photos at the park.Ellen and Trevor's wedding reception was going to be held at The Foundry Park Inn's music venue, The Melting Point. Keeping with the musical theme, they asked if we could take some less traditional, more fun engagement photos for them to use to make posters to display at the reception. Of course, I obliged, and we had a blast! Below are the posters Trevor's brother Alec (who also promotes musicians for a living) created for them, then a photo of the display at the Melting Point.Photos from the wedding coming up soon!
