Josh Lamkin Photography | Atlanta Portrait Photographers | Atlanta Event Photographer | Atlanta Theater Photographer

I've always been into photography, always taking pictures of everything, always had a camera with me. My dad gave me my first camera, an old Nikkormat 35mm film camera. I still have it and shoot with it. I got in my car one day and drove all around the United States for four months learning how to take better pictures. I'd never been anywhere in the US. I saw Niagara Falls, The Rocky Mountains, The Pacific Ocean, The Grand Canyon, and so much more. It was a blast.

I started out in a career as a musician. I played and toured full time for years and had a lot of adventures. I'm sure you can imagine. I used to take pictures everywhere we toured. Over time it got to the point where I was more into taking pictures everywhere we went than I was playing shows. Funny how things work out.

I love to meet new people and get to know them, help tell their stories with my camera and be a part of their lives for a bit. I thrive on new challenges. I'm always trying to learn new things.

Whether I'm documenting a wedding, taking family or senior portraits, or shooting on a commercial project, I try to bring love, passion, and creativity to every shot I take.

Jackie & Jason St. Regis Wedding | 2nd Shooter for Photography By Avery

Posted in Weddings

Jackie and Jason married at the breathtaking Peachtree Christian Church and had their reception at the incomparable St. Regis Atlanta. I am so honored to have been the second shooter at this wedding for Photography By Avery. Avery is so easy to work with and just a fun person to be around. It’s great to be able to do what you love, but to work with people you like is a bonus! Definitely check out Avery’s work–she’s fantastic.

Being the second shooter at a wedding is kind of my new favorite thing in the world. I love to help other photographers and do my part to make the day go as smoothly as possible because, hey, how crazy can wedding day be, right? It’s also really fun to try to get interesting shots that add to the main photographer’s coverage. I’ve been doing more and more of second shooting lately and hope to do even more in the future.

Okay enough of my talking. I hope you enjoy these photos!
