Decisive Designer

Joining The Decisive Moment team! Since the turn of 2008, I've taken over the album design process for a local Atlanta Photojournalism Studio called The Decisive Moment. Their aim is to capture the wedding story with real events and genuine emotions from the wedding day that is distinctly the bride and groom's. They manage four passionate primary photographers: Jean Shifrin, Jenni Girtman, Adam Linke, and Will Godfrey. And it's my job to place a handful of their beautiful images into an emotional pictorial narrative we call a wedding album.

Here are some samples of the albums I've designed for them:

Singh–Wadhera






Lastinger–Murray




McCarley–Ivey




Duncan–Prouty

Worship Foundations International Annual Report

Just recently, I received my finished Worship Foundations International Annual Report in the mail. Still feel proud to see my work in the real world–––my world. This year we printed the annual on 80 pound Cougar Natural (uncoated) paper. This look was a nice evolution for them. This piece remains artistic yet inhabits different graphic elements than we've used in the past.

Back cover includes accomplishments of 2007, goals for 2008, and letters from two board members: Dave Hunt and Chip Taylor.




Inside spread includes a letter from founder, Martin Allen, the 2006-2007 financial report, mission statements, and a list of board members.




I love working with this ministry. They seek to develop the most prepared and effective generation of musicians ever. They have a network that spans the globe.

Shannon + James Wed in Nashville

This weekend brought travels to Nashville to photograph the marriage of the lovely Shannon and James with Whitney Carlson of Dove Wedding Photography. Their ceremony took place at Wightman Chapel (Scaritt Bennett). Beeeeautiful site! Gorgeous wedding. We all had a blast. James even climbed a window or two to prove how crazy in love he is. What a great way to start off the busy season! Their reception was at The Hermitage Hotel downtown. Here are a few I grabbed at the ceremony.

Save the Date Postcard

Donna and Ken are getting married next July in Paris, TN, and I had the honor of being at their engagement photo session with Whitney Carlson of Dove Wedding Photography. The couple is sending out Save the Date postcards just in time for Christmas. The only perimeters she gave us is that her colors are pink-almost-fuchsia and black. The main texture is linen. Here is their card.

Anna & Alex Wedding Album

I'm so excited about Anna and Alex's wedding Album! It really fits their style and the overall mood of the entire day. Their wedding took place last spring at the Carl House in Auburn, Georgia. Not only did Alex wear his favorite shoes (flip flops), but so did the rest of the Groomsmen––a very fitting touch for the unique Groom! Thank you for letting us be a part of your day!

Jennifer & Belger at Villa Serena

Bryan Redding, a fabulous editor, photographer, graphic designer out of Athens, Georgia, needed a second photographer for Jennifer and Belger's wedding at Villa Serena, an Italian mansion outside of Conyers. The place was beautiful! It's a gorgeous place to have a wedding. Belger said he never wears a suit, but he looks so natural in these poses–like he's modeled for years! Here are some from that day:
