A few weeks ago I was asked to help my friend Erin at The Nature Conservancy's yearly donor event, "The Hoochie" (formerly "Hoochie on the Coochie"). They originally wanted to hire me, but I chose instead to volunteer my photography services for the event since it's such a wonderful organization- even if they scrutinize photography agreements more than any bride I've met with. ;) You can read more here about what TNC does. This year's event was hosted at the Top Hat Soccer fields in Buckhead. I'm not sure what I originally expected, but I definitely didn't think anyone would put a soccer field in the heart of Buckhead's elite neighborhoods including the famous Tuxedo Road. It really was beautiful driving through these neighborhoods before the event.
The "pre-party" was hosted at the home of Martin and Jennifer Flanagan overlooking the fields. I can't really describe how amazing this house was, so I'll let the first pictures speak for themselves. The rest are from the event. Enjoy!
