Georgia Aquarium Proposal - Atlanta Engagement Photographer

When Kalan reached out needing a photographer for this aquarium proposal, I immediately was so excited!! ⁣I hadn’t been to the Georgia Aquarium since I was a kid, and it was truly so magical getting to go back for this special moment with Kalan, Megan, and the fish.⁣ We had the whole place to ourselves, and getting to walk through the back halls to sneak into the Ocean Voyager theatre was so surreal. I am so eager to do this again sometime - there is really nothing like being in the aquarium when it’s empty.

Ellijay Engagement Photos - North GA Photographer

June is always one of my favorite months in the mountains. When driving to this shoot, I discovered the most amazing yellow wildflowers on the side of the highway and I immediately knew we would be shooting there. I had also found a new spot a week prior that had an incredible view during golden hour, so that’s where we ended the shoot! It was one of those ‘follow and trust me’ sort of shoots, pulling over to take pictures at random places. But it was so magical!

Anniversary Photoshoot - Marietta, GA

Kiera and Dwane met me at one of my favorite fields in Marietta at golden hour. I brought a cute quilt, a basket, and some flowers to make this photo shoot have a ‘dreamy’ vibe, and I even brought vintage style UNO cards since Dwane proposed with them years ago!! These photos were in honor of their 5 year wedding anniversary - I love when couples celebrate with a photoshoot.

North Georgia Engagement Session - Acworth, GA

Is it weird that after 20 minutes with Grace and Nolan I feel like we could be best friends??? They were literally such a sweet couple and we were all laughing for so much of the shoot. Grace is from Charleston and wanted to have water in their engagement session, so I really tried to channel that coastal vibe with this location off Lake Acworth. The docks and lake were so so pretty at sunset, and it truly felt so cinematic being there at the most gorgeous time of day.

Golden Hour Couples Shoot - Marietta, GA

This is my THIRD shoot with Anna & Avery and they are just such a JOY to work with!! Their love for each other shines so loud and beautifully - it’s truly so easy to capture them. For this shoot, we met right before sunset at one of my favorite fields here in Marietta. It’s the only one with tall grass at the moment, and the view of golden hour is so lovely here. For outfits, I suggested earthy colors and also mentioned ‘all denim’ because why not? Well when they put on their all denim outfit, I knew it was gonna be an insane shoot. The blue hues with the golden light were just PERFECT and it was giving vintage Levi’s campaign in the best way.

Why You Should Hire a Photographer for Your Surprise Proposal - North GA Proposal Photographer

Speaking as both a North Georgia Proposal Photographer and as someone who just got engaged (over the summer in Portugal - it was magic!), I know how valuable it is to have photos of that special moment. Andrew and I both look back at our proposal photos often and remember something we didn’t previously from that special day!

North Georgia Couples Photoshoot - Acworth, GA

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!

North Georgia Surprise Proposal - Ellijay, GA

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”

North Georgia Maternity Photos - Ellijay, GA

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!

North Georgia Engagement Session - Ellijay, GA

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. ⁣
