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!

I photographed their engagement session at The State Botanical Garden of Georgia in April. The weather was just gorgeous! Here are a few of my favorites from the day.I love red Japanese Maples, so I had to start with some photos in front of this one. It was just a bonus that Grace has the most beautiful red hair, making the tree an even better background!We went into the shade garden, one of the quietest parts of the garden.Grace looked great in her sundress.After a quick change of clothes we headed into the main part of the Garden. Look at all that lush greenery!Congratulations Grace and Robert! See you two on Saturday.

Dawn and Rick met in Athens, at NONA - New Orleans 'N Athens. They love to spend time riding on their motorcycles, so we thought that would be fun for some of the engagement photos. Then we walked around North Campus and got some more photos. Rick was a student at UGA, and shared lots of fun memories with us!This sun dial is in the Founder's Garden on UGA's campus. It's got such a sweet quote, "Grow Old Along with Me The Best is Yet To Be." Take a look at Dawn's beautiful, unique engagement ring! It's a yellow sapphire surrounded by diamonds. I'm looking forward to the wedding this weekend!

Caroline and Stephen's Engagement Session in Piedmont Park in Atlanta

Atlanta Engagement Photography Piedmont Park

Caroline and Stephen are getting married in September and wanted a spring engagement session. Our original date was rained out, but we couldn't have asked for a better "rain date." It was gorgeous last weekend! It turns out that like me, Stephen was a "lifer" at Lovett - so we had lots to talk about. (Being a lifer at Lovett means that we attended from Kindergarten through Senior Year!) Stephen was actually working at Lovett when Caroline's neighbors (also her friends and bridesmaids) introduced the two of them. Five happy years later, Stephen proposed to Caroline by carving "Marry Me" into a Jack O' Lantern. How fun!

Margaret and David’s Engagement Session in Stone Mountain Park

Stone Mountain Engagement Photography Courtney Goldman

I photographed Margaret and David's engagement session in Stone Mountain Park in late December. We were all so surprised at how beautiful the day was! Just one day before it was gray and cold and no good at all. As you can see the sun came out and made the session fabulous. Margaret and David spent some of their first dates at Stone Mountain Park, so they knew exactly where they wanted to have their photos taken. They were very easy to photograph -- so natural in front of the camera and hardly needing any direction from me! Here are a few of my favorites from the day.Congratulations Margaret and David! Looking forward to the wedding this spring.www.CourtneyGoldman.com

Botanical Gardens Engagement Portraits Athens Courtney Goldman Photography

Laura and Wes were such fun to work with! We met at The State Botanical Garden of Georgia on a beautiful fall day, and had such fun walking all over the gardens taking photos. Here are a few of my favorites.I was telling Laura and Wes that I love to use this arch in photos, and that some of the couples I photograph are tall enough to lean on each side while holding hands. Wes took that as a challenge and said, I bet you've never take photos of a couple hanging off the arch! I hadn't, but as you can see - now I have.This is a traditional pose, but I just love it anyway!And we had to make sure to get some photos with the vibrant glowing fall leaves!... And they skipped off into the sunset...We did run downtown and get some photos with the UGA arch. Here's my favorite.Congratulations Laura and Wes. I had such fun and can't wait for the wedding!www.CourtneyGoldman.com

I'm getting so excited about this weekend's wedding with Victoria and John! It is going to be at The State Botanical Garden of Georgia, which is a favorite venue of mine. The weather is supposed to be perfect -- sunny with a high of 70! I realized that I hadn't blogged their engagement photos yet, and thought this would be a great time. These photos were also taken at The Garden, but instead of the spring blooms we'll be seeing this weekend, there were gorgeous fall leaves. Here are some of my favorites.
