Heather, Austin and I met at 9:00 am this summer for their engagement session in downtown Athens, GA.

Jamie is another life long friend of mine whose wedding I photographed in 2011! It was an amazing experience to be such an integral part of her wedding. I feel like our friendship allowed her to totally relax in front of the camera and the results were stunning. I'm going to stick to my "less is more" philosophy in the blog writing, and just show you the photos.The wedding and reception were held at The Village Commons in Cashiers, North Carolina. Epting Events did the catering and design.I do have to point out that this is Ann and Ryan, whose wedding I photographed the summer of 2010, and are now expecting a baby!

Piedmont Park Atlanta Engagement Session Courtney Goldman Photography

I photographed Jasmin and Ariel's engagement session at Piedmont Park back in June. We had such fun walking around the park, enjoying the weather and taking photos.Ariel brought all the accessories for a picnic at the park - reminiscent of when he proposed to Jasmin.He fed her some berries and they had some wine. Then he tried to feed her a nectarine and we were cracking up - not easy to make that look sexy!They are so cute together! And the Canadian geese were kind enough to walk around in the background for some nice park ambiance.Congrats Jasmin and Ariel!
