Taylor & Emmanuel // Ponce City Market Engagement Portraits
For Taylor & Emmanuel’s session, we chose Ponce City Market because it’s where they met! Kind of a perfect reason to choose this place, honestly. Taylor walked by Emmanuel while he was waiting in line at the King of Pops booth. She didn’t even notice Emmanuel because she was looking for her friend, but he definitely kept an eye on her. After he was done in line, he approached Taylor at the table and they got to chatting. It’s such a sweet story and I love that they wanted to capture their relationship at the very place it all began for these portraits.
Ponce City Market Engagement
Despite it being a very busy time for the market, we managed to find little corners and moments of privacy! That’s always something I strive for. Taylor, Emmanuel, and I enjoyed walking around Ponce City Market and finding all of these little spots while also hitting up their favorite restaurants and places to spend time together. I love doing sessions here because there’s always something new to see – a new mural, a new place to visit, or something to enjoy. During our session, it was clear that Emmanuel is a ham and Taylor is more reserved, but they balance each other out.
Enjoy scrolling through their playful engagement session here in Atlanta!

I felt like our day was unique and special and perfect for us. Never once did I feel like this was just another wedding for you.
Caroline & Conor
As people (and queer folks) who aren't immediately comfortable with posing/having our picture taken, getting to work with Raven was such a gift.
Sarah & Tristan
Raven is a wonderful person with an energy that made us feel relaxed and okay to be ourselves; catching all of the action without making you feel that a camera is following you around.

An Industrial Wedding Venue in Atlanta: The Garage At Monday Night Brewing
I’m Raven Shutley — Atlanta wedding and elopement photographer obsessed with catching the “holy shit!” magic you’ll brag about for decades. 17+ years. 250+ love-soaked, champagne-soaked, sometimes-rain-soaked weddings. Zero boring ones.
The best days are full of “did that really happen?” moments and quiet ones alike: yelling vows over a waterfall, grandma losing her mind over your shoes, strangers cheering you on in the street. A dad-turned-unofficial paparazzi, a sibling choking up mid-speech, that deep breath the moment you realize you’re married.
The goal? A full story that’s wild, real, beautiful — so anyone looking at your photos feels like they were there.
