As part of our assignment to photograph the
AVP Charleston Open this past week, Cami and I got to photograph the view from ABOVE! Mike
Saia is the Director of Communications at the
Family Circle Cup, where the tournament was being held. He had arranged for four of these world-class athletes to play an exhibition match on the deck of the USS Yorktown...and for us to photograph it from a small Cessna airplane. Having done some aerial photography before, we knew what to expect and had a great time photographing from this unique perspective. On the flight back to the airport, we also flew over the stadium to get this shot of the tennis court that had been converted for this week's professional beach volleyball competition. We had used Jim Ellison of
Flying High Over Charleston the last time we did aerial photos. So it was great to work with him again. He's such a southern gentleman and provides a first class experience!

Chris and Cami - It is truly amazing to see all the various photography 'gigs' you have lined-up in our area. I always knew you were 'behind the sports scene' by capturing everything that happens 'on the court' and off - but now from a plane - with unbelievable aerial shots??? You two are the go-to team for any and all Charleston metro sports! I am so glad we have you as a part of our great sports community, continuing to help promote these national and international sports events. Thanks for all that you do! Kathleen, Chas Metro Sports Council
Thanks, Kathleen! You KNOW how much fun I have working with you. And if it wasn't for all YOUR hard work at the Charleston Metro Sports Council, we wouldn't have all these INCREDIBLE world class sporting events coming to town for me to photograph! THANK YOU for EVERYTHING!!!
