DAO + QUANG//SUMMEROUR WEDDING

Isn't it interesting that people always think that there's nothing to do in the city that they live in?  Well, maybe not for you, but I am very guilty of this… Every time I think of Atlanta, I feel like there's nothing to do or nowhere to go.  But, when I think of cities that I've never been to, I can list countless things that I'd like to do.  But, ever since we've been in the wedding photography business, I've been proven wrong of that!  At every local, Atlanta wedding, I always discover a new place!  Restaurants, hotels, venues…. it's just so fun seeing new things and appreciating my home town more!  But, above all those things, I love the fact that my job gives me the pleasure of meeting new people.  You get to learn about these people… where they're from, what they do, why they do what they do, how they've met, what made them fall in love, what made them say "I do!"…. I'm really blessed to have an awesome job!  I think to be able to do what you love is just priceless.  All that to say, I'm so thankful that I got to meet Dao & Q.  They contacted us a year ago when they got referred by a college classmate.  I was so excited when they wanted to meet, but had to have patience in meeting them because they were in California.  But, the wait was worth it!  We met few months later on the weekend of Thanksgiving week when they came into town for the holidays, and we just bonded!  And here we are now how many months later sharing their wedding photos.  Planning a wedding is hard, but to do it long distance seems impossible to me, but Dao & Q did a fantastic job.  I mean, just look at these pictures and see all the details!  I'm just so impressed by some of our clients who plan their wedding from the other side of the country!  Huge props to you guys!  From getting ready to the perfect wedding dress, the perfect combo of colors in the flowers to the gorgeous venue and the beautiful bride and handsome groom, this wedding just had it ALL!  And, wow!  Dao and Q can dance!  I love seeing couples who have fun with one another and just know how to have a good time.  Seeing them do a special dance that they planned together was just pretty awesome… They danced to the song from "Dirty Dancing" (if you don't know that movie, you're just very young hehe), and it brought so many memories of the 80s and the 90s.  Dao & Q danced away and did a great job at it too!  Guys, thank you for so much for the most wonderful time, and I hope you guys had the time of your lives (get it?  from the song..) at your honeymoon.  You well deserved the best trip!  It was great working with you both… to be able to capture your wedding was an honor!
