This intimate wedding at Juliette Chapel in Dahlonega, GA was such a fun evening to capture! Vanessa reached out to me and immediately was SO kind and trusting. She is an incredible wedding hair vendor (check out her work here) and I felt so honored that she chose ME to capture her wedding day!
Here’s what she had to say: “Brides please read this if you want the best wedding photos ever! Harriet made my wedding photo dreams come true. I think it was everything from the professionalism to the personality to the literal photos. She is everything that a bride would want on her wedding day! My photos came in earlier than expected and I just want to frame them all!
Harriet, Thank you for everything! You captured every special moment on my day. You are a true artist and have SO much talent! I would choose you again and again!”
Here’s what they had to say about their session: From Zach: “Harriet is a PHENOMENAL photographer! I found her through google and so glad I decided to go with her for my surprise engagement photos. Neither myself or my fiancée had ever done a photo shoot before and she made it so so so simple for us to feel comfortable the entire time. She really knows what she’s doing and her photography skills are out of this world. She was great to work with and communication with her was a breeze! Anybody looking for a photographer do not hesitate to reach out to Harriet because I promise she is amazing!! 10/10 recommend”
I met Alexis & Taylor (& sweet Rex) at sunrise for this shoot and we got SUCH a pretty morning for their maternity photos. It was way chillier than it looks but Alexis & Taylor were such troopers with the weather and I love how these photos turned out!
Foggy engagement shoot of my dreams! This shoot with Mackenzie, Carson, and Cash (the most perfect dog), was so much fun. We had these locations to ourselves and the weather was so perfect!!! Mackenzie and Carson were so easy to talk to and I had so much fun getting to hangout with them while bonding over our love for pit bulls.
The most MAGICAL elopement with the sweetest couple ever. Annie & Brandon reached out wanting a waterfall elopement - and I was SO excited to help them plan. I put together a few waterfall options, and we ended up choosing this beautiful park just outside of Blue Ridge for their special day. We woke up super early for sunrise - only to be met with rain, but that didn't stop Annie & Brandon from having a beautiful ceremony. We had the whole place to ourselves and Andrew (my favorite officiant ;) married them among the falling leaves and rushing waterfall. Days like this truly remind me that I have my DREAM job. And DREAM couples. Thank you Annie & Brandon for trusting me to capture your special day!!
Summer is my absolute favorite season - and it has been for a while now. I find that some of my most fulfilling and creative shoots come around at this time of year, and this couples session in Ellijay with Olivia & Henry was no different. I had posted on my story about wanting to do a photoshoot with a vintage bike, and I found this location last fall and knew it would be the perfect vibe. Olivia replied and said she had the most perfect bike - and she was so right! Incorporating something you love (eg cycling) into your session can make for such genuine & authentic couples photos. This session truly felt like a dream to me and I hope to do many more summer shoots this year!
Weekday sunrise elopements have become my favorite kind of wedding to photograph! Why should you elope at sunrise in the mountains? The getting up super early part isn’t so great, but everything else - from having the location to yourself, and the rest of the day to celebrate with friends and family (while I go home and edit!), it is truly a dream come true.
We met up for this sunrise shoot only to be met with incredibly thick fog - out of nowhere. I’ll admit at first I was feeling pretty discouraged with the mountains being totally covered and no sun in sight, but it ended up being the coolest vibe ever for these photos and I am just obsessed with how they turned out. I took Kate’s high school senior portraits back in 2018, and now she is engaged to her high school sweetheart, David, and getting to take their engagement photos in the North Georgia mountains was such a full circle moment!
Last March, I took Tori & Jesse’s engagement photos here in Ellijay and I was immediately obsessed with them! Not only are they just so cute together, but they are both so kind, funny, and thoughtful people. I feel so so lucky with my couples - after every engagement shoot I feel like I have new friends, and I come away feeling so grateful that I get to photograph such special & beautiful people! Just over a year later, on a breezy spring day at Summit Farms in Ellijay, GA, Tori & Jesse tied the knot with their friends and family. When I first arrived, the wind was somewhat alarming - knocking over decor and blowing chairs over. However, right before Tori started to walk down the aisle, it totally cleared up and made way for the most beautiful ceremony.
Ali & Dante travelled up to Ellijay, GA from Florida with their sweet dogs, Gunner & Chloe, wanting a ‘winter elopement in the mountains’ and they definitely got it!! This was one of the coldest days of my entire life - 27 degrees with an 11 degree wind chill. I had to take frequent breaks to keep my fingers from going numb, but it was 100000% worth it. They got married on top of my favorite mountain overlook here in Ellijay, GA and we watched as the early morning clouds hovered over the mountains…
Ever dreamed of eloping on the beaches of Mexico with mountains all around? This day was IT! I don’t think I ever could have pictured a more perfect day in Puerto Vallarta, MX. Tierney & Dane have lived here for almost 2 years, and they showed me around all their favorite places in the area, including the most unreal beach for sunset towards the end of this blog post. I found the field from the earlier photos just by walking around (isn’t that wild??), and I absolutely love all the mountains in these photos.
Imagine getting married to the love of your life on the most perfect fall day in the North GA Mountains among your closest family and friends - yes please!! Ellijay has become such a special place to me over the last few years, and this Autumnal Wedding was the perfect way to capture Ellijay’s beauty. The changing leaves, the vast fields and forests, the fall breeze and leftover summer sun - it couldn’t have been more dreamy.
Karina & Andy got married on Oct 16th, 2022 and a year later decided to get dressed up again to celebrate their 1 year anniversary with a dreamy canoe sunrise anniversary session! We met just before sunrise at this beautiful lake and heard the birds chirping, along side some drilling and construction noises going on right next to us (LOL - the things you don’t see in the pictures!). It ended up being such a magical morning and I’m so happy I got to capture these moments for them.
Morgan is a dear, dear friend of mine and getting to meet (and photograph) her two sweet girls was so much fun. Poppy and Sullivan warmed up to the camera after about 10 mins and were such stars! We shot at this perfect field in Marietta during golden hour - my favorite time of day to shoot. Morgan picked out the perfect outfits for Poppy & Sullivan, and I adore how they looked at this location! I have been shooting a lot more in the Marietta/Kennesaw area recently and I love it!
When your original location has an entire WEDDING going on - you have to head to the backup location, which in our case was this super gorgeous hotel. We snuck inside (not really - they held the door open for us LOL), and headed upstairs to try and find some cool hallways/photo spots.
Kevin + Tia are such a sweet, special couple - this day was actually the anniversary of when they met and I just loved spending this morning celebrating with them! We watched the sunrise come up over the mountains, they read some meaningful vows and said ‘I do,’ we went to the Ellijay Coffeehouse for coffee (my favorite place in Ellijay - their breakfast is so good too!!), and then ended the morning at one of my favorite North GA lakes with a charcuterie board and a picnic blanket. It was so perfect!
When Baxter reached out to me to document their proposal I was BEYOND excited. He came to me before planning anything else - which is honestly my favorite thing! I was able to help him choose the location (this spot is a favorite of mine), the time of day (will forever advocate for sunrise), and how to have me capture it without Morgan seeing! We FaceTimed, planned, sent maps with arrows on where to go, and just got so excited for this morning.
Meredith is my freshman year (random!) roommate and I am so happy that 5 years down the road I got to take photos of her and her sweet guy, Christian! I found this road a couple weeks ago and was so so excited to shoot on it for the first time. We were there for almost 2 hours and not a SINGLE car drove by - I love quiet places like this in the mountains! Just us, the cows, the crickets, and the moon!
Ben and Vicky are wedding photographers themselves (check out their amazing work here: https://benxvicky.com) so I was extremely honored when they reached out to me for photos! We met in the beautiful Ellijay mountains right before sunset and explored the fields + dirt roads around us with their sweet baby girl and precious dog.
Alejandra + Cole are two of my dearest friends and this session was so so special. Alejandra and I met back in middle school and she used to model for my 12 year old self when I was just getting started in photography - this was such a full circle moment taking her photos again over 10 years later. Cole has been friends with my partner, Andrew, since they were 5 and I’ve known him since high school. He is such a great friend to the both of us!
Amy + Blake’s Wedding Day was so so special. When Amy first reached out, she mentioned that her dream wedding was in the Blue Ridge Mountains (outdoors), but that she was worried about how cold it would be, and didn’t want to make her family freeze at their wedding! So we came up with the idea to do a first look in the mountains, with just Amy + Blake, and then we headed back to their cabin and had their ceremony with the fireplaces on inside, and such a cozy atmosphere.
When I tell you Tricia + Travis are in love - I mean it. You can feel the love and joy just by being in their presence, and it really shines through in these photos.
Hannah + Reed’s intimate Dolomites elopement was an unforgettable morning exploring the Italian Dolomites in Auronzo di Cadore, Italy. We woke up before sunrise and drove to the location we had decided on the day before - but when we got there, the fog was so thick that you couldn’t see a thing. So instead, we headed to a back up location and it was absolutely perfect. We hiked to a little area where you could see the mountains at their peak beauty, and began an intimate and private ceremony - with a view!
Alan and I grew up in the same town, went to all the same schools, and didn’t end up becoming friends until our senior year of high school after I took his senior photos! Now, over 4 years later, I was lucky enough to photograph him and his sweet boyfriend, Connor in the North Georgia Mountains on the first night of July.
Isabel + Jon’s wedding is what DREAMS ARE MADE OF!! The dress, the color palette, the details, the friends, the family, the venue, just everything was so so magical and I feel so lucky to have captured their special day.
Keelin + Bunny traveled from Atlanta to Athens for this magical session and I am so so happy they did. Capturing their love was so special to me - you know when you can just tell two people are like soooo in love? Yeah that was these two lovebirds for me. I felt like I was third wheeling in the best way and we had such a beautiful night together.
Hannah + Reed are one of my favorite couples ever - we have shot together almost 10 times and I am so beyond excited to shoot their elopement in Italy this summer!!
Kristen was my roommate freshman year of college and I was SO excited to take photos of her + Evan + their sweet dog Ruby. We met at one of my favorite places for sunset in Blue Ridge and spent the evening exploring the beach and watching Ruby swim while the sun went down!
Adeline has been a dear friend of mine since 2019, and since then, we have taken countless photos together. I was lucky enough to photograph her and Clay for the first time in early 2021, then again in 2022 for their engagement photos, and now in 2024 for photos with their new family member, Petunia. We met up on an oddly warm December day and explored this new location together!
