Sarah's Bridal Session | Atlanta, Ga - January 17, 2009 | Peachtree Christian Church and Atlanta Biltmore

Hi Everyone!!!We had a really great shoot the other day with Sarah Respess. We're shooting Sarah and Brad's wedding on February 28th at the Peachtree Christian Church and their reception at the Atlanta Biltmore. Two GREAT locations to have a wedding & reception in Atlanta. We seriously can't wait for their wedding.So, this was a chance for us to use some of our new equipment that has come in ... and I have to say, we love all of our new equipment!!Here are some of our favorites from Saturday's shoot at the Peachtree Christian Church and the Atlanta Biltmore. I'll try to share a bit about the images photographed as well - the technical details that is for those that would like to know. :)

This image was shot inside the Peachtree Christian Church from the front Balcony. I, Spencer, used the 5D Mark II at 6400 ISO with the 24-70 2.8L lens. There's an entire series of these shots - I think this is my favorite from the series.

Here's another shot, this time taken by Anna, using our new 50 1.2L series lens combined with our 5D. Love it.

Another shot with the 5D and 50 1.2L by Anna. Just a slightly different look.

Ah, now here is another photograph shot - this time with the 5D Mark II and the 50 1.2L lens. Quite the combination.

A different look here - we liked the look of Sarah looking over to the side. By the way, do note the gorgeous doors the peachtree christian church has in the background - all the doors are very intricate with stained glass. It's really great. (5D Mark II w/ 50 1.2L)

Ah, here's another shot we really liked. We just like how the light is reflecting on the aisles and Sarah's veil. (5D Mark II w/ 24-70 2.8L @ 2.8)

The outside of the Peachtree Christian Church is -gorgeous-. (5D Mark II, 24-70 @ 24mm & f2.8, 100 ISO)

A closer up shot of Sarah. (5D w/ 50 1.2L lens @ 1.2 & ISO 100)

So, we really like this shot. We have an off-camera flash putting a bit of light on Sarah. This is straight out of the camera and simply pushed through lightroom with a preset. We're using the 5D Mark II, 100 ISO, 24-70 2.8L @ f2.8.

5D at f1.2 w/ 50 1.2L

Now we're at the Atlanta Biltmore! The Biltmore is ... well, look at it! Perfect! We really wanted to capture the grand columns and ceiling architecture in the Georgian Ballroom. (5D Mark II, 24-70 2.8L)

One of our favorite shots of Sarah from the other day. (5D, 50 1.2L @ f1.2)

Another quick shot of the Biltmore. In the background you can see ... Brad? (ha, nope - it is just one of the catering associates setting up the room for the wedding taking place later on that day) We hadn't seen a shot like this of the Biltmore Georgian Ballroom, so we wanted to be sure to capture it. Oh, and we LOVE up-lights on columns! (5D Mark II w/ 24-70 2.8L)

By far, one of our favorite shots of the day. We wanted to really show the grand scale of the Imperial Ballroom at the Biltmore. This was shot by Anna with the 5D Mark II using the 24-70 2.8L. I was holding an off-camera flash high in the air to the left side of this photograph.

A quick separate shot taken with the 5D.

So, we had a great time shooting at the Peachtree Christian Church and the Atlanta Biltmore!!! Thanks to them for allowing us free reign with shooting on Saturday! We can't wait for Sarah and Brad's wedding!!!
