Engagement Sessions

CABBAGETOWN, ATL ENGAGEMENT | MORGAN + JOHN

April 12, 2021

Morgan and John are tying the knot in Palm Springs later this year so they wanted to do their engagement photos close to home. Exploring their Cabbagetown neighborhood in Atlanta (and the beautiful nearby Oakland Cemetery) made for one of the most fun and unique engagement sessions we’ve ever done. It’s always really fun when a shoot feels less like work and more like hanging out with friends, and that’s exactly our case with Morgan & John. We cannot WAIT to celebrate with them and keep the fun going in California this November.

We felt a little kooky chasing these two around Atlanta with three cameras each (we brought several film cameras on top of our normal digital camera setup) BUT I think it was so worth it because these locations were just begging to be captured on film! Enjoy some of our favorites from their hybrid engagement session — see if you can guess which images are film and which are digital 😉

about us

we're shelley AND portugal

Before we were wedding photographers, we were just two kids in love. We met on Instagram and fell in love over FaceTime. A shared interest in roadkill portraiture is what brought us together (it’s a funny story), but what ultimately compelled us to take a chance on long-distance is the fact that we weren’t looking for surface-level. We craved a shared life full of connection, vulnerability, and the kind of love that changes you. Now we bring that same energy to your wedding day to capture the real story, not a performance.
