Suggested Wedding Photographers in Atlanta

My husband and I were married in April 2003. It was the second marriage for both of us and we planned it all ourselves. Thankfully, I was blessed with both my mother’s sense of organization and my father’s attention to detail, so planning a wedding was a piece of cake (no pun intended) for us.

My father is an excellent photography hobbyist and offered to photograph our wedding, but I didn’t want him to be behind the scenes of my wedding – I wanted him in the forefront. As it turns out, a co-worker got married a few months before us, and they used a photographer who also happened to be a college friend of theirs. They highly recommended him and, after looking at the pictures of their wedding, we were convinced.

The photographer is Matt Adcock and he is one of the most talented and brilliant photographers I’ve seen. He specializes in wedding photojournalism (though his talents reach far beyond wedding photography) and is an award-winning member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association.

For our special day, he came to the house on the morning of the wedding and took candid shots of me, my daughter, my stepdaughter and my best friends preparing for the big event. He took pictures of my hairdresser/makeup technician applying makeup and fixing our hair, pictures of my stepdaughter in her room playing her toy set of drums in her dress-up outfit, and many other shots that are outside the box of the normal wedding photos. This included a shot from the outside of the house of my daughter’s bridesmaid dress hanging in the window, and my cat sitting below it, looking out the window. He also hung my wedding dress in the window with the light coming in behind it and took a picture of my daughter and my stepdaughter, each wrapped in the skirt of my dress, looking out the window with the light shining on their faces. Those are two of my favorite pictures.
