Georgia Aquarium Engagement Session // Caroline & Conor
Caroline & Conor are such a delight! I was excited about their session for a ton of reasons, not the least of which was that we had settled on the aquarium for part of it. The Georgia Aquarium is one of their favorite places to visit together, so it just made sense to spend part of our session. But, before we headed there – I got to see their super cute home and enjoy a laidback afternoon with them.
When I arrived at Caroline & Conor’s home, they made drinks together and hung out with the cats {Kimchi & Sushi!}. I adored both of the cats. They were so cute – wanting to play with the blinds and chasing moths. I loved watching them cuddle with Caroline & Conor… until they were over it. {Oh, cats!} Caroline & Conor grabbed some beers and we enjoyed the gorgeous weather outside. That may not have been our original plan, but that’s more than okay. Our sessions are designed around things that YOU love – so if something isn’t working or a pet isn’t cooperating {or whatever happens}, I’m here for you. We’ll adjust and just keep hanging out. It’s all good! After a beer, Caroline & Conor played some Mario Kart {a favorite activity of theirs}.
Engagement Portraits at The Georgia Aquarium
Afterwards, we headed out to see the fish friends. The Georgia Aquarium is one of the most popular destinations in Atlanta, but it was surprisingly busy day while we were there! Your girl loves a challenge, so I stepped up. I’m kind of an expert in finding pockets of privacy in busy spaces. Caroline & Conor’s engagement session makes me smile, because it wasn’t perfect – but it was still a joy to photograph. Caroline & Conor showed me around to some of their favorite spots. We loved visiting the otters, beluga and penguins. All three of us fell in love with the new shark exhibit, too. The Georgia Aquarium is a unique wedding venue and it was a dreamy spot for engagement portraits, too. We found some really cool patches of light to play with – the tunnels, the displays.
My goal for Caroline & Connor’s Georgia aquarium engagement session was to not feel like… a session. I want it to feel like a hangout, like it’s a slice of life, a little piece of normalcy that’s captured because it’s beautiful. Focusing on activities they do regularly – enjoying their patio, visiting their favorite aquarium… that’s what life is like for Caroline & Conor and now they’ll have photos to remember these days forever. I’m so psyched about their wedding in North Carolina next year!
