Brenda Upton Photography bio picture

Welcome

Hi there!  And welcome to my blog! 

I'm Brenda, and I LOVE being a photographer.  Being able to do something for a living that never really feels like "work" is amazing.  I am a 2005 graduate of the University of Georgia where I studied art and photography.  Since then I starting digging my heals in all areas of photography trying to find my niche.  Once I tagged along as a second shooter at a wedding with a friend, I knew I had found it.  I love that I get to be a part of such an important day in people's lives and document it for generations to pass on. 

When I'm not shooting or editing, you can find me hanging out with my husband, Ben at home in Stone Mountain.  And next to us on the couch are our two favorite "manimals", our pups Jack and Shorty.  This blog will not only follow my recent wedding and portrait work, but you'll get an occasional post about the happenings in our neck of the woods. 

So, enjoy!  And please contact me if you have any questions or would like to set up a meeting!

Cassie & Craig: Ritz Carlton Buckhead

I can’t tell you how much I love Cassie and Craig. Their wedding day was so much fun, and their positive attitude made the nasty rainy day feel like the sun was shining! They laughed until their cheeks hurt (and I laughed until the baby did a somersault!). These two were so...

Kimball Hall: A Montage

I have been away too long! There’s so much going on in my life right now (more on that at the end of this post) that there simply has been no time to blog. That, and I may have been just a little lazy over the last few weeks. But, nonetheless I’m...
