Pin it I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Meg of the A Practical Wedding blog is coming to Atlanta, tonight, actually, {OMGBBQ!} as part of her book tour, and I personally, am psyched. Not only is Meg super-crazy-awesome, but her advice is AMAZING, and I can’t wait to read her book. I’m totally buying one. And getting it signed! So, about books. Wait for it, here comes the tie-in. Whenever I get tired of Pandora playing in the background while I edit {and …read more

Pin it {Images and text by +jo} Normally I my posts go up on Monday mornings but we have Season [SeVen] flooding the gates with their first posts. Check ‘em out! This is the beginning of a big project I’m doing. It’s funny how life will throw things out there for you to catch. Mark’s good at doing that as well. One day he simply sent out a tweet: “I need a muralist. Anyone?” The irony? I was driving over there to have my headshots …read more
Introducing | Season [SeVen]
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
Pin itAfter two weeks of Intern Applications, and then a crazy 36 hours for the 2nd round Applications – we finally arrived with our list of 8 interns… which turned into 7 interns – which is completely appropriate since this is the Seventh Season of our Internship. We also moved into a new studio space at the Atlanta Goat Farm – a mid-Victorian industrial site on 12 Acres with 12 turn of the century brick structures. What we lose as far as indoor studio space …read more

Pin itPosted by +Debra After leaving Kruger National Park we began driving through the country down towards the Cape. It was about 3 days of driving, stopping the first 2 nights in various cities. My siblings and I opted to journey the scenic way to give ourselves an opportunity to experience and see the awesome diversity in South Africa’s climates. We watched the lush green trees, mango orchards, litchi farms, and banana groves turn slowly into the low feld with tall grasses and long thin trees. The …read more

Wednesday by Leah: Awkward
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
Pin it- Posted by Leah There was a wonderfully beautiful post on Offbeat Mama the other day – one that resonated with me on several levels – as an adoptee, as a parent, and as a person who loves to ponder the intricacies of identity, of transitions, and of family. One quote in particular has been bouncing around in my brain: “Sometimes holding yourself back, playing your cards close to the chest, is the only defense we have. Our silence makes us secure.” I’m a very …read more

Pin it{photos and text by +jo} iPhoneography. That’s what really got me to take my self a little more serious about photography. There are a lot of opinions out there about iPhoneography and what it’s applications mean to a lot of different industries. I didn’t have a clue one year ago. I’ve written about what the internship is and what it did for me. Something that I don’t think I’ve fully put out there is that I truly haven’t been at this photography thing very …read more
Sunny South Africa | Kruger National Park | + Debra
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
Pin itI recently made a journey to South Africa, the country where I was born. I moved to the United States when I was 11, so returning to South Africa gave me an opportunity to experience the country as an adult. For me personally it was an opportunity to know the country my family is from, and also an opportunity to reconcile with my father, whom I hadn’t seen in 18 years. He remarried and had 4 children with his new wife, so I was …read more

Pin itApply for Season Seven of our Photography Internship Here. - Posted by Alumni Intern Chris Wow. What’s changed for me since the internship, huh? A LOT. But in case you don’t know me, I was part of Team Awesome (also known as Season 2). To explain where I am now, I have to explain where I’ve been. If you do remember me, you can skip the next couple of paragraphs. About 6 years ago, I took a retail job in the mall at Picture …read more
Being a Boy Scout by +Raven
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
Pin itBeing a photographer is a lot like being a Boy Scout {or so I’m told}. It means being prepared. Always. FOR ANYTHING. Especially as a wedding photographer. It’s happened before where I’ll bring a group of interns out to shoot in some crazy condition or another, and at the end of the session, when I ask if they learned anything, etc., they responded “well, yeah, but I wouldn’t bring my clients out in the pitch black/the snow/in full sunlight/etc.” Which really, is ridiculous. Your …read more

Pin itPosted by + Debra Whew! So I just got home from attending the “A Practical Wedding Book Tour” in Atlanta, hosted by Young Blood Gallery and “A Wedding Day Hooray“. I am feeling energized! It’s always a pleasure to meet funny, open minded, outspoken, and honest people. Meg of APW is all that and a bag of chips, probably a coke too. She had everybody in stitches with funny stories, and sage advice for the female entrepenuers. I loved how she wore a dress …read more
