We are Applehead Photography and Design, and our combination of directing and documenting provides our clients with photos of raw emotions and interactions, and allows us to truly get to know each and every person we photograph. It's pretty awkward to have your photo taken by a couple of strangers, but our hope is that by the end of the day, you feel like you had your photos taken by a pair of old friends. To us, it's not just about the end product you receive – it's about the adventure and the memories we created in order to do so.

My love for photography is my passion. I take it with me everywhere I go, I capture pictures of my daily life and I print those pictures once a month, I know it will be worth it when I'm old and look back at life. Being a wedding photographer is a very emotional/technical thing, it is a challenge to create technically correct, well-composed, perfectly lit, beautiful images all day long, every weekend. Wedding photography is not for everyone, but it's for me! I love that challenge. Bring it on!

Awarded Best of Zola
Andrea is a spectacular photographer & was such a pleasure to work with! We had several meetings leading up to our wedding to discuss our vision, wants, & must have shots. She leaves herself open to you all day which came in handy as we asked her to stay an additional hour & she agreed without hesitation. Turn around for full galleries is super quick, we got ours just over a week after our wedding. Photos were one less thing to worry about and we can’t be more grateful for that!

Hi, I’m Alaina! I’m a portrait photographer in the North Georgia area (+ available for travel) offering photography sessions for couples, individuals, graduating seniors, and intimate weddings + elopements.

Wedding and Elopement Photographer with over 10 years of wedding experience. Warm, romantic imagery with moody shadows, capturing the raw emotion and candid expressions of everyone you love.

We really enjoyed working with Jessica! From our initial consultation to the day of, she was professional, organized, and personable, making sure I felt comfortable and confident with the process - I never doubted that I'd end up with exactly the photos I dreamed of having from my wedding day! Her work is absolutely beautiful, with a cohesive vision that has this gorgeous moodiness to it but that doesn't sap color away. From our engagement shoot to our wedding, I just love how all of our photos turned out! And, despite getting all these photos, she did a great job at getting photos done quickly and efficiently so we didn't feel at all like our wedding day was just a photo shoot and had plenty of time to still connect with our guests and enjoy the day. We are so happy with our photos and our experience, and we cannot recommend JC Rosewood Photography highly enough!

I’m based in North Georgia, but always happy to travel wherever the love (and the good vibes) take me... I believe wedding photos should be the kind you hold onto forever ..the ones that make you feel something every single time you look at them.

You’re not just another booking to me.. I truly care about creating a connection, capturing your story, and hopefully becoming friends along the way (besties if we’re lucky!!

I shot my first wedding July 2007 on eight days notice for a family friend. It was exhilarating. I fell in love with documenting and creating memories for my first bride and groom, Nicki & Jay. They loved my work. I found my professional calling. In 2009, I opened the business and started officially offering my services as a professional Atlanta wedding photographer. Since then, I’ve prided myself on caring about your special day more than any other vendor participating in your wedding.

Danielle was so much fun to work with for my surprise engagement at Chateau Elan! The photos turned out absolutely wonderful. She captured our personalities beautifully, and the quality was above and beyond. We were also thrilled that she was able to take so many photos with our family and friends who were with us that day as well. I was so shocked by the proposal that I kept wiping the tears off my face, but she was quick to step in and help me wipe my face without losing all my makeup! We were in a slight rush to make it to a surprise dinner that my fiancee set up, but she was able to take us to all the best spots within a limited time frame. She also did a great job at suggesting poses that were comfortable for both of us. Dani is awesome and I couldn't recommend her more for your surprise engagement! :)
