Dragon*Con Parade 2012 | Atlanta Event Photographer
Happy Labor Day! Labor Day weekend in Atlanta means two things: college football fans tailgating for the Chick-Fil-A Bowl around our house… and of course DRAGON*CON! Even though I haven’t been able to attend the con since we always seem to have weddings, I try to make it to the parade at least which is only a few blocks from our place. This weekend’s wedding was at 12:30 in Marietta so I had just enough time to watch the entire parade along Peachtree Street before heading up to Transfiguration Catholic Church and the Atlanta Country Club for this weekend’s awesome wedding! Enjoy these photos from my vantage point of the parade and marvel in the details of the costumes which ranged from classics like Star Wars to popular modern characters like Game of Thrones, Hunger Games, and even a Walking Dead group!
A couple of cute Men in Black kids.
Nyan Cat will never die!

Star Wars and the Storm Troopers always bring up the rear and signal the end of the Dragon*Con parade. Until next year Dragon*Con! Back to our regularly scheduled blogging of weddings around Atlanta resumes this week! Happy Labor Day!

Embrace the insanity!!! 🙂
I was part of the Star Trek group (Playboy Bunnies and Hefners) and I just wanted to say that your skills blew me away. Your photos are stunning. You captured the true essence of Dragon*Con. One of the best pro photos I’ve ever seen at D*C. Just wanted to say thank you for your work.
Thank you Erika! Appreciate the comment!
This looked so good, better than last year! I wish I had been there 🙁
