I’ve always been a big fan of make-up. Which is maybe a little surprising, considering I hardly wear any on an everyday basis. But I’ve always thought the ability to change people was SO AMAZING. For a while, I even thought I wanted to be a special effects make-up artist. I’m still fascinated, and most of the time at shoots, I watch the make-up artist do her thing, because it’s rather transporting. Intern Krista invited the lot of us out to Bukrhart’s Pub, home of …read more

Wednesday by Leah: It’s Like Pooping
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
So I know I already wrote about my homebirth experience, and talked a little about what labor and birth were like… but now that I’m out of that initial post-birth haze, I thought I’d share a bit more about what giving birth actually FELT like. And really, it felt like pooping. So much so that I was convinced my child was coming out of the wrong opening! I never had that ring of fire that so many women describe…maybe cuz I was giving birth in …read more

{Bloom} | +jo
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
{Photos and text | +jo } The season has come upon us where everything breaths a sigh of relief. Everyone survived winter and new life blooms. Well, this winter wasn’t harsh but it’s stil a time to celebrate. And celebrate people did at Kai-Lin Art’s gallery opening for the latest show Bloom. Beverages poured from both Svdeka Vodka and Duvel. I must say Duvel was a big hit with everyone at the gallery because they could take home the beautiful glasses they drank from. Duvel’s …read more
Janelle + Tim | Wedding Preview by LeahAndMark
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
- Posted by Mark I know. It’s been a while since I’ve posted – and of course I have excuses but come on – most excuses generally suck. So hey – no excuses here! But I think it’s time that I started blogging again. You know. The good stuff. The good shots. The best photoshoots, the weddings, the engagement sessions – and everything else that we’ve been working on that you haven’t been seeing. Because we’ve been working on a lot. We have many new …read more

LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
Posted by + Debra. Hello, Hello! It’s seems some time has passed since I last posted. Things have been busy, we’ve all been busy. Wedding season is in full swing, Atlanta was bursting with color (and pollen), and I have been a happy little photographer shooting weddings, head shots, babies, weddings, people in love, old friends, and new places. Whew. It’s been a roller coaster and I LOVE it! Meet Beki and Mike. Isn’t she beautiful. Good Job Mike! I can say that, since …read more
Hannah & Tate’s Awkward Session by +Raven
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
Hannah & Tate approached me with the desire to do an “Awkward Couple’s Session.” You know, like AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com? And I said HELL YES. What’s awkward photos without some spot coloring, tiny people, and Photoshopped wings? So, not only was the session FREAKIN’ FUN, but it was also challenging, believe it or not. Because what you have to think about is that “Awkward Couple” is just a theme. Like anything else. Like our Bloody Wedding we did. Or a zombie-themed engagement session. And it’s NOT …read more
Wednesday by Leah: Lisa McKay, A Good Mother Among Many
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
Today I’m excited to share with you a wonderful post by my (virtual) friend Lisa McKay. Lisa and I both worked in the exciting field of humanitarian staff care, and last year we also became mothers. Lisa has a fascinating blog in which she writes about living in Laos, being a parent, being human, and all that entails. She’s also a published author with a new book debuting in June of this year! I love Lisa’s writing and I especially loved this particular post because …read more
Days go by {+jo}
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
{photos and text by +Jo} I’m at a loss for words right now. I’ve been buried in Shakespearian texts for the past few weeks and as you may or may not have noticed I’ve been quoting the Bard lately. There are photos sitting and waiting to been shown to the world but I can’t seem to get my own words out. If I write about something other than myself it is fine – thus the mural project and the Steampunk Tempest. I feel I am …read more
Engagement Love | Susan & Brian {+jo}
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
{photos by +jo | Shakespeare Sonnet: 109} O never say that I was false of heart, Though absence seemed my flame to qualify; As easy might I from myself depart As from my soul, which in thy breast doth lie: That is my home of love; if I have ranged, Like him that travels I return again, Just to the time, not with the time exchanged, So that myself bring water for my stain; Never believe, though in my nature reign’d All frailties that …read more
You Are Powerful by +Raven
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
You are incredibly powerful. Do you know that? No, like, really. I know for a fact that you don’t tell yourself that enough. Start. I finally broke down and started reading this book on the subject of love and positive thinking recently {which I won’t name, in the hopes that I come off less like a walking ad for the book and more like a real person, haha}. And before you get your skeptical face out, hold up. I was skeptical. And honestly, was kind …read more
Sara + Nick | Wedding Preview by LeahAndMark
LeahAndMark.com | Atlanta Wedding Photographers
- Posted by Mark A few weeks ago I had a wedding here in Atlanta on Saturday (with Janelle & Tim) – and then Sunday morning I flew up to Chicago for Sara & Nick’s wedding! Our wedding season has started and it actually goes until the very end of November – and we’re VERY excited about that. Because there are very few things that we would rather be doing than photographing weddings. With a few scheduling hiccups – Sara & Nick were actually the …read more
