Dorothy and Kevin
Dunwoody Methodist and Cobb Galleria
I was very much looking forward to Dorothy and Kevin's wedding because I already feel like a member of Dorothy's family. I have photographed both of Dorothy's sisters weddings and many of her friends, in fact eight of my past bride's were at the wedding so it was very special on many levels. Dorothy was beautiful and full of fun and everything was amazing. Photographing a wedding at Christmas time is such a special time, just look at few of the shots below and you will see what I mean.

Finally we are back blogging!!!

Having our studio hit by a tornado and then having to move our studio during the heart of wedding season was a challenge. But we are now running smoothly and we wanted to let everyone that has not seen our new studio to have a look. Our new studio is only two miles from the heart of historical Roswell and it sits on five acres. As you can see, not only do we have a wonderful indoor location for studio shots, but there are so many places to shoot on the property. We have our red barn, creek, huge rocks, a giant field (my daughter calls it the meadow), gravel drive lined with a black fence, and real fruit bearing pear trees, plus much more. You are just going to have to come and see it at your next shoot. Hope you are as excited as we are.

See you soon!

Step to the side Abbey Road

Natalee, shane and the family are becoming one on May 17th. We had such a fun time on this shoot going from "Abbey Road" to waterfalls, what more could we do? In a week we will top this with a wonderful wedding in the mountains at Blackstock Vineyards. I photographed Natalee's sisters wedding a year ago and I have been very close to the Powers family ever since.

Carol and Paul April 5, 2008
Dunwoody Methodist Church / Dunwoody Country Club

I was so excited to be part of Carol and Paul's wedding because I already feel like one of the family. I photographed Carol's sister's wedding several years ago and I am photographing her other sisters wedding in December not to mention that I have photographed so many of their friends weddings over the years. Carol and Paul's wedding was so magical, the church was so beautiful and I do not think one more person could have fit into the sanctuary. The country club was amazing and they had such a great time and they would do anything that I asked so we got some amazing pictures.

Kara and Christopher
St. Lukes and the Pavillion

What can I say except this was one amazing wedding. Kara was so beautiful and laughing all the time. When you a group that is so fun and will do anything I ask then we can not help but get some amazing shots. It was also an honor to be at this wedding because I have photographed so many of Kara's friends and to see them again was a real treat.

Adi and Daniel

We had a great time shooting their engagement shoot. Daniel started out not being very excited about the shoot but he came around and started having fun. Then I could not stop Adi and Daniel from laughing and just having fun. It makes such a difference when a couple will relax and be themselves and below you will see what I mean.

N-SIGHT 2008 WAS AMAZING

Tricia and I really enjoyed our recent workshop. Of course we had a challenge since a tornado hit our studio three weeks ago but thanks to Tolbert Yilmaz for letting us use his dance studio as a base we pulled off one incredible workshop. We had nine photographers attend the workshop which was just the size we wanted so it could really be hands on. Tricia did a great job helping to get this workshop off and going. Everyone really benefited from her coming down from Chicago and showing how she captures her striking portrait and wedding images.

The weather was not great which gave us the opportunity to give our students the experience to shoot under cloudy skies, during rain, with harsh sunlight, with off camera lighting, using reflectors, under tungsten lighting, with night lighting, shooting with the lights for a car and even shooting during a hail storm. I think everything was covered in a single day of shooting.

Instead of me telling you about the workshop just look at what some of the photographers that attended the workshop had to say. Also make sure you check out Tricia's blog at http://www.tricialeephotography.com/. I also would like to thank Cat for helping so much and taking pictures of everyone shooting.

I had am amazing weekend helping with Tricia Lee Whitmer and Mike Moreland's N-Sight Workshop. I was the all-purpose helper and documented the workshop for them. We had 'amazing' weather in Atlanta on Saturday and were able to shoot in Cloudy/Overcast Skies, Puddles, Wind, Window Light, Indoors, Rain, Hail Storms, Sunshine, Twilight, Dark and in the Headlights. Talk about 'going with the flow'!!!Again, thank you so much Tricia & Mike for the opportunity, I learned quite a bit and hope you like the images I took for you. I look forward to hanging out with you again soon.
>^..^< ~Cat~

In a word, the workshop was OUTSTANDING! You and Tricia really went the extra mile to insure the N-Sight Workshop was informative, creative and fun! I’ve attended a lot of photography workshops, but none this well thought out and none with as much hands on shooting and professional instruction. The learning environment was perfect for what I needed and came away with a renewed sense of creativity as well as an “N-Sightful” new way to see my subjects. I truly feel that my wedding work will be greatly enhanced by the techniques and useful ideas that I picked up. Great job Mike and Tricia for opening my mind and helping me be a better photographer. Oh, by the way, the rain, wind and hail were a nice touch! Put me on your list for all future workshops

Rick Harris

I’m glad I had the opportunity to tap into the mind of two great photographers. I’ve admired Mike’s work for years and constantly stayed on his blog to see what crazy shooting style/location he came up with next and try to figure out how the shot was taken.. Sometimes you think people with that type of talent aren’t reachable, but Mike and Tricia were more than willing to share their creative secrets and provide the constructive criticism we all need as photographers to spring us to the next level and how to think outside the box in photography.. That was the magic word “Outside the box”.. Those words stuck in my mind the entire day and kept me constantly thinking of how I could capture the shots “outside the box”.. Tricia was great with telling us how to pose up a shot and what to look for and if we weren’t getting the right lighting, she quickly gave a f-stop or shutter speed based on our current camera setting and the shot came out perfect.. Her smiling personality kept the models at ease as we approached them paparazzi style in the beginning.. That night when I looked at what I shot, I was amazed at what I was able to accomplish with their guidance as I fought to narrow my images down to 10 for Sunday’s presentation. (I slipped in 5 extra) We were able to shoot in almost every weather condition and still saw great results.. It’s also an opportunity to create an alliance with other photographers who have the same hunger for knowledge.. I’m looking forward to the next workshop they have! Mike and Tricia.. Thanx for feeding my hungry mind this weekend and will definitely approach photography in a different way..

Mike Newman

Thanks so much for a great day shooting yesterday. The models were fantastic and the locations were diverse, interesting and beautiful. You both really opened my eyes on how to be more creative and find better shooting locations. I learned a ton about your innovative approach to lighting a scene with the tungsten lights (really cool). The way you posed the models, the way you interacted and directed them and the just the way you were able to put them at ease and the way they all responded was amazing to watch. I came home last night so pumped!!! I feel like I have just met a couple of new friends; you made me feel that welcome and I really appreciated that very much. Even though I didn’t get a chance to participate today, I know the workshop was money well spent. Great job on putting this together;

Jeff Franks

Thanks to everyone for attending, we had a blast!

Ghea Wedding at Villa Christina

Talking about a portfolio wedding! Nicole was so beautiful and Thomas would do anything we asked. Of course their son Ryan was a main focus but then you add perfect weather and a beautiful setting and get the following. What a wedding! When you can get a bride to crawl on the top of a piano then you know you are going to get some great shots.

Korman / Willliam Wedding, Primrose Cottage

We had the best time photographing Elyssa and Casey's wedding. We started at the hotel with Elyssa and Casey and set up a special viewing for them to see each other for the first time. It was wonderful location for their first viewing. Then the ceremony and reception was at Primose Cottage in Roswell which is a wonderful historical Southern setting. Elyssa and Casey were so great to work and we got some great shots.

The Show Must Go On!

As many of you know, the studio was hit by a tornado two weeks ago today. Fortunately, no one was injured and all of the equipment went undamaged. However, the actual structure is in pretty bad shape. It is amazing to me how quickly material things can come and go. We are always optimistic so we are looking at this as way to have a better studio then we had before. So I started looking at the damage to the studio as a great background for a senior shoot, Tierah (a senior and neighbor) volunteered to model in our new grunge set and when her sister Fernae dropped by we put her in a couple shots. We used our creative juices to turn the devastation into art. I hope you will enjoy seeing all of the damage in such a unique way. Please know that we will continue to work during the reconstruction or relocation of the studio, and that we look forward to each of your sessions. A special thanks to our models, who were so AWESOME and willing to get down and dirty for us. It really was a ton of fun.

Her Own Look

Samantha is a senior at Pope and she did not want to put a lot of make-up on and bring props for her senior shoot, she just wanted to be herself. That was exactly what I wanted to hear because we love caputring our senior's personality.

2008-03-08T09:01:00.000-08:00

Family of Four

Tiffany and Andy wanted some updated pictures of their family with the new additon of Andrew. I just let them all bond with Andrew and I was the fly on the wall, just the way I like it.

What Life is all about

I had photographed the wedding and family portraits of close friends to Amy and Josh so I was excited when they wanted me to photograph Cole. They knew that I loved capturing moments not blowing bubbles and clapping and doing traditional portraits. So I just let them connect to Cole and we got some wonderful shots capturing him at three months.

Tornado Hits The Studio

Early Tuesday morning a tornado hit the studio without warning while I was walking down the hallway. 40 trees were pulled out of the ground and thrown with several of them slamming through the studio and on my car. As dramatic as this was, we are very fortunate that nobody was hurt, our computers, client files, or equipment were not damaged at all. We have always taken precaution by having our editors keep a copy of all jobs at their location in addition to being stored at our location and our album designers also have a copy of all albums and books at their location. We have also been very lucky to find Arnol Tree Service because they have been clearing the trees and removing them so quickly. We expect to have the grounds back to normal by next week and we have relocated our office and studio until our studio is repaired. Our workshop will still happen but it will be scheduled at another location to be determined by next week.

Girls like to have fun

When Kelly Jo called me wanting to set up a surprise photo shoot for her North Point small group of middle school girls I was very excited about doing some cool shots but had my fingers crossed for good weather. Well mother nature was very good to us and we got to go outside and have fun. I just wanted them to be themselves and have fun that is why I did not want to do a series of inside studio shots. The girls were great and I think they had a great time.

2008-01-24T23:02:00.000-08:00

Photography Workshop in March

There have been many people ask us about doing a workshop. So we are officially testing the waters and see how much interest is out there. As I do with everything, if I am going to put together a workshop then I want it to the best it can be. So the plan is to have it in mid March for two days and not be two days of lecturing but make it hands on. I want this workshop to be a balance between portraits and weddings and the first day is about shooting. We will have many models and spend some time in the studio doing some very cool lighting and then we are going to be on location and even plan a night shoot. This first day is going to be a very long day of shooting a wide variety of different type of models and many locations. So be prepared to learn a lot and have a great time, bring your camera because you will be able to shoot and gather some great portfolio images. During the second day we will critique your favorite images from the first day of shooting and then spend time going over lighting and ways to take your photography to the next level. We are going to limit the class to around 10 people so it will be intimate and more personal. Please contact me by e-mail or call me if you are interested. 770-993-6059 or mike@morelandphoto.com

Finding the Magic
Josh and Meghan, December 15, 2007

I knew when we photographed their engagement shoot this was going to be a very special wedding and it was Big Time. I was so honored to be part their very special day and it was a very special day because Josh and Meghan waited and never compromised to find that magic with that special someone they want to spend the rest of their lives with. You can see it and feel it, they did not settle... they found someone that they can share the magic with forever. You can see that their love is so genuine which made it such an incredible experience capturing their story. Sure this wedding was at a small church in Covington Georgia but the photography could have been a spread for a fashion magazine. Meghan was so beautiful and I loved the vintage veil and Josh glowed when he was around her. The shots below just scratch the surface of the incredible story of their wedding.

2007-12-29T12:23:00.000-08:00

A Miracle Of Life

After photographing Beth's maternity pictures last month she asked me if I would photograph the birth of her baby. I was very honored that she would share this special moment with me and let me tell their story with pictures. I have photographed several births and they have all been very special. When I first tell someone that I am going to photograph a birth they do not understand why anyone would want their baby's birth photographed until they see the pictures. It is not about documenting how babies are born but about capturing the emotion and the very special moments that are happening. Even the doctor delivering the baby commented how she thought it was the greatest idea and she had never seen it done before. Beth and Brian elected not to find out if they were having a boy or girl so this made it even more special for them and their family. What an emotional roller coaster for everyone there and it was an incredible day. Congratulations...You Did It!

2007-12-29T12:08:00.000-08:00

Garrett at eight days old!

Brian, Beth and Garrett are now a family and at eight days old he was at the studio ready for his first photo shoot since his birth. We got some incredible shots and it was such a special time for everyone. Garrett you are now one well documented baby.

Not Just Another Mother-To-Be

Jennifer has been working for me for over eight years and is the backbone of my business, so I was excited when I found out her and and Joey were expecting their first child. We had fun doing some maternity shots with a little flair and Joey I think even had fun. Now only one month away until the big day.

2007-12-13T20:07:00.000-08:00

Going Urban

Scott and Cheri came by the studio for their engagement shoot and Scott mentioned how he loved architecture and wanted to know if we could do something more urban for the shoot. Well he only had to ask me once for that, so we packed up the car and headed out to find him the urban look. We had a great time scouting some cool spots to give them a different look. I am all about doing something different. Thanks guys for making this such a fun shoot.

2007-12-11T05:29:00.000-08:00

Lots of First

Christy and Bruce had such a beautiful wedding and it was at a wonderful setting. However there were many first for me at this wedding. This was my first ever Tuesday wedding, my first wedding where the total number at the wedding was only four, it was the first time I was booked only one week before the wedding, the first time I was booked for only three hours at a wedding and the first time that I showed up to a wedding site two hours before the ceremony to find a construction zone. Regardless of the size of the wedding or any of the conditions, I was there to tell a story and with all of this and with only three hours we still shot over 1,200 images because it could not have been more beautiful. They have a wonderful home, Christy was beautiful and it was a romantic setting with a ceremony in front of the fireplace and the single table set later for dinner. They also made it very special for Bruce's children. Thanks for letting be part of this special time.

2007-12-07T10:31:00.000-08:00

Saree and Danny / Four Seasons

What a wedding!!! Saree and Danny wanted creative photography so we ventured around the Four Seasons and captured everything from dramatic to emotion. Saree was so beautiful and the wedding was very elegant so there was never a down time for shooting. We had such a great time and I was excited and honored to part of their special day.

2007-11-27T04:36:00.000-08:00

The Harper Family

I met Beth at a recent wedding so I was excited when she called me to photograph her family. We had some nice fall colors to work with and everybody did what ever I asked. Well maybe after a couple of bribes with smarties!

2007-11-27T04:25:00.000-08:00

The Barber Girls

Suzanne brought her family to the studio for some pictures for a Christmas card but I wanted her to have something different. Well after having them jump in the air, lay on the ground, climb in a tree and then have pictures of only of their feet. We got something a little different, everyone was great and we had a great time. See all of the girls look flawless without any photoshop tricks at all.

2007-11-27T04:08:00.000-08:00

Family Outing

Kelly wanted to bring her family to the studio for some portraits. Even though it was very cold we still wanted to get some outdoor shots. She really wanted a lot of portraits of her children and everybody was great despite the cold weather.

2007-11-25T19:13:00.000-08:00

Not Just the Same Old Senior Shoot

Mitchel did not want the typical senior shoot that the year book photographer would have done. So we decided to have some fun with his shoot, just give me a rusted dumpster, paint pealing off an old door, a stripped down truck and a rusted barrel or two and I will give you the following. We had a great time, Mitchel thanks for doing anything that we asked.

2007-11-25T08:12:00.000-08:00

Davis Martinez Wedding / Private Home in Buckhead

Wow not only did Sonia look absolutely amazing on her wedding date but her dressed looked like it was designed just for her. So you can not blame me if we are a little heavy on bride pictures. The flower girls were so cute then you add beautiful weather at an incredible home in Buckhead and you get the following. It was my absolute pleasure to part of this wonderful wedding.

2007-11-23T05:19:00.000-08:00

Just Having Fun!

Emily and Jay came to the studo for their engagment shoot and I wanted to do something a little different. This was not very hard because they loved having fun and their expressions showed it. I am so looking forward to their wedding at St. Ives Country Club in May, I photographed Emily's sisters wedding a few years ago so I am so excited to part of their wedding. Emily and her mother Barbara called me up to check my availablity in April and May before they looked at reception sites so they could book their wedding based on my availability. It will be an honor to be at their wedding. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Mom-To-Be

Beth and Brian came to the studio to get some maternity shots but I just did not want to give them a portfolio of just holding her belly shots. I took them outside first and to get some romance shots with them and then we came into the studio. I love black and white photography especially with maternity and I wanted them to be expressive which was no problem for Beth. I in visioned many of the shots in black and white and a black background added richness to the black and whites shots. Beth I know you are coming in this afternoon to see all of the shots but I just wanted to send you a little tease with some of my favorite shots. Here are about 30 shots but you have another 150 shots to see at the studio.

2007-11-20T05:09:00.000-08:00

Family of Four

Christina and Kinvi wanted some family shots with fall colors and some shots of their children. so we got the family portraits done first so could let Giovanni and Audrey just explore and have fun.

2007-11-14T05:10:00.000-08:00

The Bickler Family

Natalie wanted some shots of her son's personality so we just let him have fun and sneaked a couple of family shots in when we could. He was full of energy but patience and a few bribes paid off.

2007-11-14T04:57:00.000-08:00

2007-11-13T03:46:00.000-08:00

The Anderson Family

When you have four teenage boys in a family you just have to do some shots that are fun....So that is what I did. We had a great time having fun and they are going to have a great Christmas card this year with all of these choices.

2007-11-12T03:21:00.000-08:00

A Day At Callaway

I have been looking forward to photographing Molly and Al at Callaway Gardens. Very near Callaway Gardens is where Al proposed to Molly and they almost had their ceremony at the chapel at Callaway so all of this made Callaway a special place to them. This wedding is going to be extra special to me because Molly is my cousin and it is going to take place a wonderful location in Columbus. However I did not know Al very well but after Molly asked me to pick him up on my way down to Callaway and one hour later in the car with Al....I got to find out how much of a practical joker he is and I heard some great stories. They are a great couple and we had a blast at Callaway Gardens.

2007-11-11T11:04:00.000-08:00

Family Outing

The cox family came to the studio and wanted some shots of them having fun and they even brought their dogs. So we bounced around the studio and captured them on the grounds. Anne really likes black and white so I wanted to have shots that gave a lot of contrast.

2007-11-10T03:45:00.000-08:00

Like Brother Like Sister

When Trude brought her grandchildren over to the studio she told me that she wanted me to capture their personality. This is a surprise photo shoot for a Christmas present for Mom. We just let them be themselves and I bet Mom is about to have the best Christmas present ever.

2007-11-09T02:42:00.000-08:00

There is no place like home!

Sara and Brian wanted to have their engagement pictures taken at Sara's parents home. I always would rather shoot somewhere that is special to a couple but when the location is so beautiful with the rolling hills, lake and horses. What could be a better place to shoot. We shot until there was not any daylight left. What does that tell you? We had a great time and Sara and Brian were just wonderful to work with!

2007-11-07T06:47:00.000-08:00

My Little Angel

Sherrie came by my studio and talked to me about photographing her daughter Morgan. She told me she wanted some nice shots of her just having fun and Sherrie said she loved artistic shots. So did everything we could think of around the studio grounds and just let Morgan have fun. We had a great time and Morgan would do anything I asked and with that perfect smile I could not help but get some fantastic shots.

Nicole and Brian, St. Peter Chanel and The Arbors

Nicole was great, she was always laughing so my job became very easy. They just had a great time and we just let them be themselves. There was a gap between the ceremony and reception so this gave us extra time to go around a couple areas in alpharetta with the bride and groom and wedding party before we arrived to the reception. This extra time really made a big difference.

Just Having Fun

When Stephanie's mother called me to schedule her daughter's senior pictures I told her that we just did not take only pictures for the yearbook. We wanted capture her daughter's personality and let her be herself. We had lots of fun and Stephanie was great! She is a senior at Pope High School.

We are Family

Ron, Kim, Ryan and Danielle came over to have some shots taken for a Christmas Card but we wanted to give them much more. So we photographed some pictures of Ryan and Danielle by themselves and together. I had so much fun photographing this family, they would do anything I asked if it was having everyone laying on Dad or if was Ryan just looking cool in his hockey uniform or shots of incredible shots of Danielle.

Capturing the Spirit of Sarah

I photographed Sarah and her two daughters two weeks ago at the studio but this time I traveled to her beautiful property in Jasper. We are producing a book that will showcase Sarah's wonderful poetry so we shot more pictures on her property that will relate to some of her poems. The weather was great this morning (little cold) and the light was crisp. This book is going to be a treasure for her and her family.
