About Me

My photo

I have been an artist for as long as I can remember and photography is my passion. I used to be a successful fine artist, but since I shot my first wedding I never looked back. I am madly and completely in love with weddings, I guess it is the romantic in me :)

For Guest to Sign at Weddings by Cariad Photography.

Couples usually have a guest book or a photo that is matted for their guest to sign at their wedding. I decided to do a couple of designs that our couples can use at their wedding. These can be printed on paper or canvas and be a little different from the usual and a bit more fun.

Photographic Memories Are Forever!

A post on Facebook by a friend made me think how important photography really is
and always has been to help us remember special people in our life's, special places we visited and even our beloved pets that might have passed on. Through photographs we can watch our grandchildren grow even though they might live thousands of miles away, follow their interests and even as they get older and get married relive their wedding over and over again once the event is long over. Enjoy the adventures that our children go on now that they are grown and have their own life's when they share their photographs with us.

One of the times when photographs really become important is when somebody we dearly loved has died. I know when my husband died I searched high and low for any photo of him, any video that might have his voice just to hear and see him again. Eventually live goes on and as it does we heal and the pain we felt on their passing will be replaced with wonderful memories of all the good times and happiness when we come across an image in some drawer or photo book of one of those times.
Nothing is more precious then the memories that are safely tucked away in our hearts other then recorded images either as a photograph or a video, because those things will bring back all the visual memories that slowly fade in our minds.

I will share a few of my photographic memories that are very special to me.......

 
My grandniece visiting from Brazil a few years ago.

 
Our special girl Lacy taken a little nap on her favorite couch. She is now in doggie heaven
but looking at this photo I know what a wonderful life she had.

 
My brother and me when I was a little girl. He past away a couple of years ago and of all the photos I
have of him this is my favorite.

 
My husband shortly before he passed away.

 
My friend Laura took this image when Steve and I were married a few years ago.

 
My little grandson enjoying his bath when he was a baby, hard to believe he now plays football.

 
Memories of Florence Italy.
 
These are just a few of so many of my visual memories.
 
Always in my heart .........forever in my mind!
 
This blog post was inspired by my friend Skip Cohen, a man that I greatly admire.

North GA Photo Session for Jamar and Shari by Cariad Photography

We had a little photo session for Jamar and Shari this past Saturday..........what a lovely couple. Originally from Jamaica they now live in Atlanta, GA and took a little drive up to our mountains to meet us and have this little session. It was such fun to meet such a sweet couple that is obviously so in love with each other and I have to say.............we loved photographing them.

Splendor Mountain Wedding Album by Cariad Photography, North Georgia Wedding Photographer

I just finished and ordered Brianna and Justin's album. It was such a joy to design it with their fun photos. I had posted a few photos last week for a little preview, but I thought I would show what the actual album looked like.















Atlanta GA Wedding Photographer Cariad Photography at The Temple

Shooting Eliana and Chad's wedding at The Temple was one of our highlights this year. Eliana looked like a movie star. Her dress was absolutely incredible, like a fairy tale that came to life.
The rose, orchid and lily bouquet that Eliana chose was a perfect compliment to her dress. This was one stunning couple and the wedding a photographers dream. Just a few little teaser photos of this beautiful event.
