MILLER-WARD ALUMNI HOUSE WEDDING: ADAM + ALANNA

May 9, 2012

At the end of the ceremony, he stopped and thanked everyone for enduring the heat. As he stood there, on his wedding day, in a full on tux- He thanked everyone else. Everyone chuckled as if no thank you was needed. They wanted to be there, to witness the ceremony of two people who had touched their lives. You only need to spend a few minutes with Adam and Alanna to see their love. He is smitten with her. And with just one look he can make her smile.

Her brother, sister, and I run in the same circle of friends. When we do get to hang out and catch up, it is always a night full of laughter. A wedding would be no different, except this time there would be even more people to share the joy.

Adam and Alanna, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day. I am truly honored. I owe a big thank you to Nicole and George.

This is the first time Alanna’s dad sees her.

Alanna, you are stunning.

And then everyone danced the night away.

Here is a slideshow with more images from the day.

KELLY LANE PHOTOGRAPHY PROMO VIDEO

January 11, 2012

In 2 weeks I turn 30. Oh wait maybe you missed it…that’s THIRTY. As in 3-0! With the new year rolling around and a significant increase in age, I may or may not have had some emotional meltdowns. If I hunker down and try to set goals for the year, my mind starts running before I can even catch up. OMG I am about to be 30. What did I want to do with my life before I turned 30? Am I where I want to be? I was supposed to be a millionaire by now. Oh wow, now my body is going to fall apart. I should probably go to the doctor more to make sure. And then before I know what hit me, the tears start falling.

Okay this has only happened once. And I feel a lot better now. Especially because in order to defeat 30, I planned a trip to the Caribbean so I can at least turn 30 somewhere new and amazing. This is when I plan to compose my thoughts, goals and dreams for the year. As they stand now, I imagine them to be grand, a little out there, and bigger than anything I could ever accomplish myself. This year will be a year of taking risks. After all, I will be 30…why not?!

Some of my goals have begun to take shape already. The first being a bright yellow email I received Monday morning. Kelly Lane Photography is a Bride’s choice award winner for 2012! I initially thought this must have been sent to the wrong person, but once my name appeared in the image, I conceded…and graciouslly prepared a thank you speech. Kidding.

The next exciting announcement is that I now have a promo video! This has been over a year in the making…and I have held onto it a little bit, just because I am shy about it. It took several years for me to allow a picture of myself to be taken. This takes it to a whole new level.

I am indebted to Craig Obrist for creating this for me and dedicating hours of time to it in an already super tight schedule. Also thank you Jennifer and Ryan Robinson, Jennifer, and Aaron for modeling. Ya’ll make me look good!

RITZ CARLTON WEDDING

July 14, 2011

She warned that the bride and groom were incredibly nice. She told me how they had become friends and she was really looking forward to their wedding. She warned me that the wedding was at The Ritz Carlton Atlanta and that it would be beautiful. And….Liana was right. On all counts.

I was so incredibly honored when Liana asked me to come along and assist her in this wedding. It has been a while since I have second shot, so I was really excited at the idea and the chance to look at things in a different perspective.

When I arrived, Liana asked me to hang out with the groom and groomsmen and take getting ready pictures. It felt a little strange not seeing the bride until the ceremony, but I really enjoyed getting to spend time with the groom and see his getting ready process throughout the hours pre-ceremony.

Liana, Thank you so much for letting me come along. I was floored by your professionalism and calmness throughout the day. I had such a good time hanging with you, Mike, and Laurel and look forward to the weddings to come!

Here are some of my favorites from the day:

These boys were cuties. I am absolutely in love with this image. Just somethin about it.

Details galore.

Toasts.

THE SHOOT: CHARITY EVENT

May 11, 2011

It’s official, I live inside the Perimeter or ITP as the cool Atlantans like to call it. Technically I am just on the right side of being ITP, but really I just tell people I’m ITP. It makes me seem way cooler. My life has been consumed with several things recently, the 2 primary being moving and organizing The Shoot.

I have partnered with the non-profit organization Project Go and local Atlanta photographers to offer discounted photo sessions for $50! All proceeds from The Shoot will benefit a family in need. This is such a great cause and I am so happy to see it all come together.

If you would like more information or to book a session check out theshootevent.com.

See you May 22nd!

WEDDING: VIDEO SHOOT

April 13, 2011

Every morning the alarm blares at 7:30 am . I roll over, blindly hit snooze and fall back asleep. 3 minutes later, the alarm again. I try to trick myself by setting multiple alarms. What once started off as 1 has now become 3. All at different intervals with unique sound and pitch. The snooze button is pushed 5 times and about 45 MINUTES LATER I finally throw my feet off the side of the bed and force myself to sit up. I tell myself if I get up I will reward myself with coffee and a nap in the afternoon. Yep, I actually bribe MYSELF. Of course by the time I get home in the afternoon I have so much to do that I tell myself instead of taking a nap I will just go to bed early. Rigghhhtttt just like every.other.night.

Today, I woke up and convinced myself it was Saturday and that I could go back to sleep. Like a little devil on my shoulder, every part of my body told me it was ok and that I deserved to rest. Everything else in life could wait. It was about here and now and I was TIRED. Eventually, I listened to the voice of logic, the angel on my shoulder if you will, and rolled out of bed. LATE .I rushed to get ready and out the door. I told myself that when I got home I wasn’t going to work, but instead hit the gym. A reward for myself. I was all for this plan until I got home and actually had to go to the gym. So here I sit, pictures in hand, and blog instead. It’s my reward to myself.

Last week I wrapped the final shoot for the Kelly Lane promo video. Aaron and Jennifer were great models. They even made it look like they were a real married couple. Here are some images from the shoot. Next up…outtakes

MICCOSUKEE RESORT WEDDING: AILEEN+TIM

March 27, 2011

The initial email was for an engagement session. They were getting married in Miami, where they were from and their family still lived. We met at Canoe Restaurant, where Tim asked Aileen to marry him. And at the end of the session Aileen gave me a hug. She’s just that kind of person. The kind that everyone loves and you feel like you are old friends after the first time you meet.

Over the next few weeks emails continued and I was blown away by her kindness and sweet words. One message in particular managed to shock, humble and blow me away all at the same time. The email explained that her and Tim had prayed about finding the right photographer for their Miami wedding. When she walked into work the next morning and began her routine, the first file she opened was for a property located on Kelly Lane. Woah…but there’s more. The property county was in Lusk (my last name) Wyoming. The next thing I knew I was booked for March 19 and last weekend was flying to Miami for Tim and Aileen’s wedding.

Tim and Aileen, I adore you. Really. Your family is beautiful. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of such a special day in your lives. I am forever grateful to have met you both and wish you complete happiness and love. I hope you had a wonderful cruise and can’t wait to get started on your album! XOXO.

The day started off in Aileen’s hotel room at the Miccosukee Resort.
