Atlanta Wedding Photographers Shoot Engagement Session in Piedmont Park

This week’s blog is about Jonathon and Cameron’s photo session at Piedmont Park.  It was a wonderful time for us to get to know each other and to learn more about their wedding in December.   

If you know me, you know that I love starting early in the morning.  Jonathon and Cameron were early risers too. They were excited to see what Piedmont Park looks like in the morning and to also take advantage of the cool fall weather in the late September, Atlanta mornings. They arrived at 7:20 just before sunrise which was the perfect lighting for the champagne shot .going to do.  We quickly walked over to the Greystone Event Center,  Greystone is in the western part of the park next to Lake Clara Meer and the pool.  It is adorned with an arched entrance supported by large marble columns.  In the morning, this area is dark. We made our way there with our bottles of champagne.  I placed Jonathon and Cameron  in the middle of the columns with the flash behind them to back light them.  I gave the champagne to Jonathon and told Cameron to get behind him so she would not get wet when the burst of bubbly came out of the bottle.   Jonathon opened the bottle and put his thumb over the opening so the pressure would build and shook the bubbly just like the race car drivers after they win a race.  As he sprayed the champagne the flash was backlit them and made the sudsy spray sparkle. 

Next, Cameron wanted some photos with the Atlanta skyline in the background.  We strolled a few feet to the west towards the steps to the park’s active oval.  Located there are the original steps, flower vase and wall from the 1880’s Agricultural Exhibition that the park was built for.  This little part of Piedmont Park is perfect for these playful sky linel photos.  The couple climbed the wall and pranced across it like trapeze artists.  As they took these photos, I could tell how adventurous they were. 

We then moseyed on over to the pier where the sun was rising. They went to the end of the pier and practiced their first dance in the warmth of the morning sun.  They were spunky and fun.  We took a small break there and Cameron started telling me about the details of their wedding. 

The wedding is going to take place in Atlanta.  The ceremony will be held at the Atlanta Peachtree Christian Church and the reception will be held at the historic Rhodes Hall.  Both venues are historic Atlanta landmarks.  Peachtree Christian was dedicated in 1928 and was designed to be a cathedral in Atlanta,  it was designed by Frank A. Pittman.  The facade is based on the Melrose Abbey in Scotland and the stained-glass windows are said to be the largest collection of English stained glass outside of England.  Rhodes Hall was built in 1904 for the founder of Rhodes Furniture Company, Amos Rhodes.  It is one of the most unique wedding venues in Atlanta and is home to the Georgia Trust.  One of the most important historic details is that several of Cameron’s family members have had their weddings there in the past. 

It was such a treat photographing this delightful couple. We are looking forward to Jonathon and Cameron’s big day.  I know it will be one for the history books!

Dubai Premium Malls & Virtual Offices Presents Restaurants open in Ramadan

Written by Time Out Dubai. Original article can be found at : https://www.timeoutdubai.com/news/402150-dubai-restaurants-open-during-ramadan-2019-for-lunch-and-breakfast

Dubai restaurants open during Ramadan 2019 for lunch and breakfast

Ramadan opening times for non-Muslims who are not fasting.

Ramadan is expected to take place this year between Sunday May 5 and Tuesday June 4, and it’s a time to be respectful while taking note of certain customs.

Many people in Dubai will be fasting from sunrise to sunset during the important period. For that reason, a number of the city’s restaurants will be operating on different hours.

However, if you are not Muslim and are not fasting, there are some places that will be open during the day.

There are extra considerations to be made since food and drink must only be consumed indoors and out of sight – for example, some restaurants will have screened-off areas.

Here are all the important details you need to know.

Dubai Premium Malls & Virtual Offices Presents Restaurants open in Ramadan

Written by Time Out Dubai. Original article can be found at : https://www.timeoutdubai.com/news/402150-dubai-restaurants-open-during-ramadan-2019-for-lunch-and-breakfast

Dubai restaurants open during Ramadan 2019 for lunch and breakfast

Ramadan opening times for non-Muslims who are not fasting.

Ramadan is expected to take place this year between Sunday May 5 and Tuesday June 4, and it’s a time to be respectful while taking note of certain customs.

Many people in Dubai will be fasting from sunrise to sunset during the important period. For that reason, a number of the city’s restaurants will be operating on different hours.

However, if you are not Muslim and are not fasting, there are some places that will be open during the day.

There are extra considerations to be made since food and drink must only be consumed indoors and out of sight – for example, some restaurants will have screened-off areas.

Here are all the important details you need to know.
