I’m a full time wedding photographer who has spent the past 15 years turning once-in-a-lifetime moments into timeless photographs. My approach is: - True-to-life color and clean - Timeless edits - An eye for intricate details and the candid, in-between moments that show real emotion - Calm, gentle direction so you can be fully present while I work quietly in the background If you’re drawn to genuine color, relaxed portraits, and a photographer who treats your day with the same care you do. I’d love to hear your story next!!!

Kristin Cheatwood Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the very first interaction, Kristin's communication was efficient, constant, clear, open, and enthusiastic.

Awarded Best of Zola
Once my fiancé and I got engaged, there was no question to who our wedding photographer would be. Tara Wilburn Photography is AMAZING! Being a wedding photographer myself, I knew that I wanted a crisp, timeless style and Tara's portfolio is just that! We had a destination wedding in the mountains and Tara was so helpful in planning out the details of the timeline so that our day went smoothly! Our wedding gallery is filled with gorgeous images of everything we could have wanted and more! She captured our day flawlessly. It is SO important to hire a professional photographer for your wedding day. Weddings go by way too fast and the only way to remember each detail of your day is by flipping through your wedding gallery. At the end of the day, all you have left are the pictures. Tara captured something that we will treasure forever! We had a wonderful experience with her. Tara is the photographer's photographer! Highly recommend!

Absolutely thrilled to share my experience with Maggie from Stepping Stones Photography! From start to finish, she was an absolute gem, exceeding every expectation I had for our wedding photos. Her intuition and professionalism were truly unmatched; she seemed to anticipate every meaningful moment before it even happened! What blew me away the most were the photos themselves. They were not just pictures; they were windows into the emotions and memories of our special day. Each shot captured the essence of the moment perfectly, and looking through them brought tears to my eyes all over again. Maggie was incredibly flexible and accommodating throughout the entire process. She listened attentively to my ideas and preferences, and seamlessly incorporated them into her artistic vision.

Living just outside Atlanta, GA, with my high school sweetheart turned husband, my world is anchored in love both at home and through the lens.

Awarded Best of Zola
Olivia is by far the BEST wedding photographer in the Atlanta, GA area! My husband and I got married on 6/1/24 and hired Olivia for our engagement and wedding photos. We are both camera shy, but she made our engagement pictures SO much fun. After that, we felt very comfortable working with her! Wedding day, she showed up and absolutely killed it! Her energy matched the wedding party, she was able to work efficiently (which is not easy with 7 groomsmen). She was always checking in with us making sure we were in good spirits, needed a break, etc. We received sneak peeks the night of our wedding, and received the full wedding album while we were still on our honeymoon! I truly cannot recommend her enough. Leading up to the wedding we had many phone calls, emails, and texts. She always made herself available if we had questions. She has perfected her process down to a tee, making it easy on a Bride and Groom with a never-ending list of things to do. We plan to hire her again in the future for family pics someday. Don’t hesitate to book with her, you will not regret it!

BOOK HIM!! I found Richard on the knot and I booked him for our engagement photos and our wedding in 2023!! I was looking for a reasonable price but for the best quality photos! I am so glad I chose Ultimate Photos! He responds in a very timely matter, he is very attentive! We had to reschedule our photos due to bad weather but he was able to get us in the next weekend !!! First off he took off the whole day to do our engagement shoot! He told us that he is free the whole day to get the shots we wanted which you don’t get that type of commitment often! He let us do two different outfits and guided us on what to wear so we don’t clash in the photos. At first me and my fiancé were pretty nervous as we have not had any professional photos done before but Richard gave us directions and made us feel super comfortable. We did our shoot at Hanna park in Jacksonville it was beautiful! You can tell he is very passionate and loves what he does! Our finished photos were everything we imagined! They are all so beautiful and all our family and friends love them and we’ve gotten so many compliments!! The quality is stunning and the angles and the lighting capture the day perfectly! He did a fantastic job at showing our love through the photos! So excited for the wedding!!
