Two Bride Wedding at The Atrium in Norcross

Written By Cindy Brown

One of the delights of photographing a wedding is choosing and toning the images after the event. I'm always excited to see what we have captured and how the images look in their final form. 

Having started my photojournalism career shooting on black-and-white film, I have to say that I find the tonalities and shades of grey in a black-and-white image hard to beat to this day.

Here are a few favorites from Aisha and Nina's wedding at one of our new favorite venues, the Atrium in Norcross.

Nina chilled with the flower girl and ring bearer while Aisha was still getting ready. 

Careful ... do not let anyone see behind the magic door.

And of course, everyone wants a selfie with the bride.

I'm an Atlanta wedding photographer who takes soulful, quirky and honest photos ...

I'm also an adventurous traveler and all-round nerd. I love to hike with my beagle/cattle dog Roux and best friend/spouse.

I was born in Atlanta, moved around a lot--30 cities and 5 states--and then came back.

After graduating from the Art Institute of Atlanta, I took a job at asmall newspaper in south Georgia, where I photographedhospital teas, pecan farmers, and beauty queens.

I photographed a biker funeral, death penalty protests andTed Bundy while interning with the Associated Press.

While a photographer for two dailies in Florida, I photographed Ronald Reagan, a train derailment and the dedication of a screened-in porch.

An unexpected life turn took me to Vermont where I fell in love with Bernie Sanders and on to Indiana, where I edited photos for a major daily, and nerded out getting a master’s and PhD.

After teaching photojournalism at colleges and universities in Florida, Indiana and Mississippi, I returned to Atlanta to earn myfifth degree--a Master's of Divinity.

My passion for storytelling with my camera and my interest in religious diversity led my to the field of wedding photojournalism.

I have documented weddings large and small, Unitarian and Pagan, indoors and out, Christian and Muslim, in backyards and in churches. The most exotic wedding I have photographed took place in Mexico and was officiated by aMayan shaman.

When I'm not photographing weddings, portraits or corporate events, I work on personal photo projects, visit friends in amemory-care home, and volunteer at a recovery center.
