Exhibitor Highlight – Asterisk Photography

Hey guys! We are Angelina & Anntonette, the Atlanta wedding photographers behind Asterisk Photography. We think a photograph is more than just a photo. It’s a piece of time caught within a second. When you look back at that image, you don’t see a photograph, you see a memory.

As Jane Austen so accurately put, “Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings.”
All those snap shots of life are dear, special, unforgettable memories.
A quick moment stolen. If a photograph is equivalent to a memory, let us make them the best quality and the most sincere. That’s why we choose to shoot in a lifestyle manner. To capture those natural laughs, the surprised expressions, and the authentic emotions.

The soul of photography is a real life relationship and we look forward to building one with you. We specialize in shooting in a lifestyle manner, meaning, we shoot for the real-life moments. Our couples are full of joy, kindness, and a deep love for their community.

Meet us at the Georgia Bridal Show this Sunday, September 10, 2017 at the Infinite Energy Forum in Duluth! We’ll be offering $300 off any wedding package booked either at the show or within 1 month of the show. We’ll also be giving away an intimate home session on Sunday. Sign up with your email at our booth, and the winner will be announced at the end of the show at our booth!
