“All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother”- Abraham Lincoln
Adam Linke and Jessica McGowan had the pleasure of photographing Emily Magill and Adam Tindel’s Big Day!
The wedding was absolutely gorgeous but one thing that our Adam took away from the day was the bond between Emily and her Mom.
Adam said that watching the two of them together was a highlight of his day and he left the event hoping that he could capture some of their unique bond on camera…..
We think Adam and Jessica did an amazing job! What a day! Thank you to all the Magills and Tindels!!

Back in March we celebrated a spring wedding with Jennifer Hardy and Marc Baldwin at Flint Hill in Norcross….
We were able to capture some lovely emotions in Jennifer and Marc’s day… along with some beautiful details dedicated to Jennifer’s late grandfather.
Jennifer told me that as the train rumbled by during their ceremony, they were thinking of her Papaw….They gave a little whoo whoo you can see in the photos below!
It is always an honor to be invited to share in such personal moments with our couples….
Thank you Jennifer and Marc!

A Great Love Story…
October 23, 2009 | Filed Under Uncategorized | 2 Comments
I was struck recently by the amazing love story of Charla Gottschalk and Tim Seif….
I think it is best in Charla’s own words that she wrote before the wedding to tell us about their story….
First a little background…Tim and I met in May 2007. My best friend at work is also Tim’s neighbor. David (he’s a groomsman in our wedding) kept telling both us that we needed to meet. Neither one of us wanted to meet someone. However, our schedules finally coordinated and we met for lunch. I think we were both guarded at first due to previous relationships but in spite of ourselves, our relationship grew. He is a pilot for Continental, and I’m an auditor for Bank of America. With both of our schedules, we weren’t seeing very much of each other, at least when we weren’t both completely exhausted. That soon changed. On August 31, 2007, I was involved in a car accident that I’m still recovering from due to a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The blessing was that exactly a week before my accident; we had said “I love you”. We had already taken that next step before my accident. Our love hasn’t been a question through all of this. Over the course of months and now a year and a half, Tim has attended hours of doctors’ visits, physical therapy, speech therapy, and Biofeedback with me. I guess you can say that we have tested the “in sickness and in health” side of things. Needless to say, we see a lot more of each other when Tim is off from work since I haven’t been able to return to work yet. Good things do come out of bad situations. We’ve had the chance to experience more than what some people experience during a lifetime of marriage. We’ve been able to see how we both react in good times and in bad. We find joy in the simple things such as USA Today crosswords at Starbucks, grocery store trips and working out together. He is so special and such an answer to prayers.
This is why we love weddings, amazing stories live in each one!!

An Atlanta Affair…

One of our recent couples Cara Bernstein and Jeffrey Chernoff decided to make their wedding weekend a Taste of Atlanta for their mostly out of town guests.
Jessica McGowan captured a rehearsal dinner at Mary Mac’s Tea Room, a party at The Varsity and wedding and reception at The Atlanta History Center… the weekend was a tour of some of Atlanta’s favorite spots!
What a great way to celebrate your hometown and personalize your wedding at the same time.
We were honored to be a part of it, congratulations Cara and Jeffrey!
