Emily and Sarah’s Hotel Indigo Wedding

Written By Cindy Brown

I'm thrilled to share photos from Sarah and Emily’s beautiful wedding at Hotel Indigo in Athens, Georgia, earlier this year.

Everything about the wedding was so much fun, from Sarah and Emily getting ready together in the same suite with friends and family to their lively dance with friends during the reception.

One of my favorite moments was during the champagne toast, and another was when Sarah approached Emily for the first look—Emily’s expression was priceless.

My protégé and associate photographer captured an amazing photo of Emily showing Sarah the car lining in her coat and also created a video of their ceremony.

The highlight of the ceremony was a surprise choir serenade organized by Emily for Sarah. Her reaction was unforgettable!

Gilly Francis and her team ensured the day went off without a hitch. They were fantastic to work with, as were the staff at Hotel Indigo in Athens.

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.
