My first Allie Awards

February 2, 2008

So this is completly not about MY wedding, but I wanted to post about my experience at a wedding industry party.

Shari invited me (and paid for my ticket) to go to the 2008 Allie awards that was held at the Cobb Energy Center. The Allie Awards are kind of like the Oscars for the Atlanta Wedding Industry. Shari and her boyfriend Stephen, her mom Bea and I dressed up and headed to the Awards show in hopes of returning with a victory.....AND WE DID!!!!! Shari entered John and Anna's wedding from Barnsley Gardens that I helped shoot. She was awarded best photographer of 2008!!! WOO HOO!!! Congrats to Shari and our team!









This is Shari, looking fab, celebrating her newest acquisition - the 2008 Allie Award for best photographer, and chatting with Sabrina Borg from Luxe















After the award show, they had an after party which was held on the stage of the theatre. There were all kinds of crazy props floating around, and with a bunch of artists breaking loose, you know there were some crazy times. Here we are celebrating Shari's victory!




Yeah.....I had WAY too much of a good time. This was after I had danced for about 2 hours straight.

Hamming it up and striking a pose.

I was ready for my close up and loved being on stage again....
As you can see, this theatre is massive, I couldn't believe how big this place was. It must be awesome to see shows there.





As we were leaving, we snuck into the top part of the theatre to get a different perspective.

I had such a great time and was totally excited to be invited and recognized at the Allies.

Here's to many more victories and celebrating such an awesome photographer!!!!
