Scott and Mary



Dorn Brothers,
We wanted to have a fun wedding, and choosing the right photographers had a lot to do with the preparation. We had been to too many weddings where the photographers were very rude and bossy, forcing smiles and poses. That is not what we wanted at all. We had known Nate and Travis through mutual friends, and I had heard they did wedding photography. Actually, Mary and I were eating in a restaurant one day and I picked up a local high-end Atlanta magazine that contained a great article about Dorn Brothers Weddings. I went home checked out their website to see their photograph samples and testimonials---and we were sold!

Every time we had been around Nate and Travis, they had kept us laughing, and that was one of the biggest selling points in one of the testimonials I read on their website. It pretty much said that they capture natural smiles in their pictures because they try their best to keep a lighthearted approach to wedding photography. Mary and I had made our choice.
We met with them a few times before the wedding, and it only made us more excited. You could tell that they were excited too---not just because they knew us and we all got along great, but because they actually loved doing this. Mary and I felt at ease knowing that we were in good hands with the photography part of the wedding planning.

On the evening of our wedding, the Dorn Brothers definitely did not disappoint us. They were at the church early taking pictures in the back rooms before the ceremony, keeping us all smiling----which was good for both of us, because it was a stressful day. After the ceremony, they swept me and Mary away to take some pictures and then we joined the rest of the family and wedding party for the post-ceremony photos. This was the part that most people complain about with other photographers, but Nate and Travis made this very painless, keeping everyone laughing and naturally smiling.
Our ceremony was a blast. Every time I turned around, Nate and Travis were capturing great shots of our guests at the tables socializing, dancing on the dance floor---they were even taking some shots of the band performing on stage. You could tell by the great time everyone was having that the pictures were going to turn out great.

Mary and I had many people come up to us throughout the night and comment on how nice they thought the photographers were----friends, family members---even members of the event staff at the Piedmont Room at Park Tavern commented on how professional and easy to work with they were. I was actually proud to tell people that they are great photographers……and they are friends of ours!
When we got the pictures back from them, we were more than happy with the results. Actually, they were better that we could ever hoped! We will have these pictures forever, to remind us of our special day, and we will always have Nate and Travis, the Dorn Brothers, to thanks for that!
