Today we are so excited to feature M&A Photography as our “Vendor of the Week”
1. How long have you been in business? “We started this journey just over 4 years ago”
2. Tell us what we should know about Marcus and Aisha. “I really love my job! There is something about capturing the happiest moments in people’s lives that makes our lives better”
3. What makes you guys different from other photographers in the Atlanta area? “We offer albums with all of our collections. We don’t like to give away only digital files. We love giving our couples something that they can hold.”
4. Why should brides hire M&A Photography? “They should hire us because they will receive the highest quality of photography with great customer service that will have them feeling like they have made a new friend, rather than a hired wedding vendor.
5. What services do you offer to brides? Do you have a specialty? “We offer photography (boudoir/bridal/wedding) and will be offering video for 2016 weddings. We specialize in fine art and lifestyle images”
6. Who is your ideal client? “Our ideal client is laid back and sweet. Chances are she loves things like Pinterest and texting. Her phone is more than likely filled with screenshots of wedding pictures and a countdown to my wedding app. For my client this wedding is going to be the highlight of her life because she is head over heels in love.”
7. Do you travel or are all of your clients in the Metro Atlanta area? “We LOVE to travel! Whether it be a destination wedding or an out of state client I always look forward to visiting new venues/locations”

It is always a pleasure working with past clients on their “life events” This 10.10.10 bride called me to help her create a “Paris Inspired” Sweet Sixteen Dinner for her daughter Sunshine (who is nothing less than a bright ray of Sunshine in real life) Mom and Dad wanted something chic, elegant, sophisticated yet fun for their only daughter. With their vision I think we created just that.
When Erica called me late 2013 telling me about her wedding vision and her love for this guy named Stenio, I knew that this was a wedding that I really wanted to work on. I could hear the LOVE in … Continue reading

When it’s time to sit down with your wedding photographer to choose a location for your engagement photos, think about a location that is sentimental and means something to you as a couple. Consider the following:
1. At the first restaurant he ever took you to
2. The park where he proposed
3. The location of the venue.
4. The location that you guys went on your first date
These are just some ideas…Be as creative as you can be. Remember to relax, unwind and have fun!

You know the story: Boy meets girl, Girl likes boy, Boy falls in love with girl, Girl loves boy right back…The rest my friends is history!!! Dion describes Kamaree as an “Uptown Girl” and funny enough Kam calls Dion her “Downtown Boy” Together they share a LOVE for hip hop, fine dining, travel and each other
Dion chose Kamaree’s birthday to surprise her with a proposal. In front of friends and family he asked her to be his future and she of course said yes!
Fast forward to 09.29.13, the place was the gorgeous and historical Biltmore Ballroom in Atlanta, Georgia. The Dobbins chose for their color pallet Blush, Grey and Ivory. Having a fun, laid back and memorable wedding was extremely important to the duo since this was their personality. They are always smiling, joking and finding the positive in every situation
Their was not a dry eye in the crowd of almost (200) family and friends as Kamaree came down the aisle, being escorted down the aisle by her mom, who has always been by her side so it made perfect sense for her to be the one to give her daughter away on the biggest day of her life.
Dion and Kamaree chose to work with some of Atlanta’s Finest vendors to bring their vision to life:

Meet “The Wallaces” of Georgia. I have personally known Stephanie for almost a year now. Stephanie played a major role as a part of Z. Curlett Events “Dream Team” during our 2013 Wedding Season. Stephanie is God fearing, extremely talented, a sweetheart to work with and someone that loves and adores her husband. I am so excited to share with you the story of Floyd and Stephanie, here goes:
Date Married: 04.05.03 (ONE Decade)
Where Did You Meet? We met at his job. I was picking my uncle up from work and he thought that introducing Floyd to me was a good idea. Turns out, it was!
1. If you could choose something that represents or symbolizes your marriage, what would that be? A rope with three strands. That represents, God, Floyd and Me. It is a covenant between us that is tied together. There is a knot at the end that will always keep us together.
2. What is your definition of LOVE as it relates to your marriage? Love means having unwavering respect, embracing our individuality, being friends and bringing our “A” game in all aspects of our relationship.
3. What has made your LOVE last for over a DECADE? We truly enjoy each others company as friends and lovers.
4. If you were asked to counsel a young couple, what (4) things would you express to them?
-Communication – which means adequate, honest talks as well as active listening
-Respect – always respect each other especially as the two of you change over the years
-Keep It Fresh – Go on dates, try new things
-Keep Everything in Perspective – There will be times when you may disagree but if you understand that you are in this together and keep God first, he will give you the proper perspective
5. Do you agree or disagree with this statement: “After a period of time in every marriage the “NEW LOVE” feeling fades” We both said DISAGREE. In a relationship that is ordained by God, there will be changes that will bring about the opportunity to experience love anew.
6. If your MARRIAGE was a movie, which movie would you be? When Harry Met Sally, its funny, its romantic and its got good and bad times but they always stick together
Some people will spend months and even years planning their “Dream Wedding”. Picking the right flowers, the perfect venue, their favorite flavor of cake: and the list goes on. Those same people stress for months about who will come, who will forget and who just simply is not going to be invited. Then comes time to plan the honeymoon, will we select a European vacation or should we take a cruise around the Caribbean? Paris will be nice in the spring. So many decisions have to be made….
Now the big day has come and gone…
All of your many gifts have been unpacked, you are looking at the wedding video with a heart full of joy; you’ve married the man or woman of your dreams…
Fast forward 10 years: What are you doing to make LOVE last? Are you reminding each other with sexy little notes, are you scheduling a date night once a week, are you spending quality time cuddling watching old movies? It doesn’t matter what you do to keep the flames burning as long as you do something!!!
The easy part is getting married, let’s put more focus on staying that way!
