This summer marks the 2 year anniversary of me and Kenny’s move to Atlanta! I can’t believe we’ve lived here for 2 years already – we love Georgia and everything it has to offer. Kenny is still greatly enjoying his work at the Georgia Tech Research Institute, which is a huge blessing. I’m thankful for all the amazing weddings and video projects I’ve gotten to shoot here, along with all the wonderful friends and talented creators I’ve met here as well! Being an Atlanta videographer is sincerely a dream come true for me.

Great coffee and nice buns!

  1. Best Coffee Shop for Working Remote: Bread + Butter Bakery (in the Marietta Square Market)

If you follow me on Instagram, you know I’m in Marietta Square a lot. Like, a LOT a lot. I love the vibe, I love the food, and I especially love the new Marietta Square Market. Inside is the Bread + Butter Bakery, which has outstanding coffee, heavenly baked goods, and plenty of space to work. I love treating myself to an afternoon in the Square!

  1. Best Place to Shop and Stroll: Ponce City Market

Ponce City Market is an easy go-to date for us! We typically do some window shopping (although I always have to go into Posman Books!), grab a bite to eat inside, then walk along the Beltline for a bit if the weather is nice. 

  1. Best Place to Order Takeout When We’re Starving: Tin Lizzy’s Cantina 

To say we’re in love with this local chain is an understatement. Tin Lizzy’s has plenty of locations around Atlanta, which is ideal when we’re coming home from a day trip a need a bite to eat. Their skillets are our favorite since they’re so tasty and filling. (This tends to be our go-to meal after a day of hiking because we’re ravenous and also too tired to cook something.)

  1. Best Place to Grab a Beer When You Don’t Feel Like Fighting Crowds: Red Hare Brewing Company

Sometimes we just need a beer after a long day of work – on those days, we go to Red Hare! There are so many great Atlanta breweries so it’s hard to choose just one as our favorite, but we like Red Hare because it’s a chill, dog-friendly spot with fun games and delicious beer. 

  1. Best Spot for Cool Photos: Krog Street Market and Tunnel

The Krog Street Market is cool, and driving through the Krog Street Tunnel is even cooler! Bring your camera to capture all the stunning graffiti displayed here.

  1. Best Movie Theater: Starlight Drive-In

As a kid, I went to the drive-in theater a lot with my family, so of course I was thrilled to find one so close in Atlanta. The Starlight Drive-in is affordable, shows the latest movies, and the best part is you get to watch while relaxing in your car with snacks and pillows!

  1. Best Thing to Do on a Thursday Night: Alive in Roswell

We love walking through downtown Roswell – and it’s even more fun when Alive in Roswell is happening! Check it out every third Thursday from April to October. You can grab a beer or a snack from a food truck and walk around to see the vendor booths or jam out to the live music. It’s a blast and everyone should attend!
