Erin & Jason at Harbor Club

Erin & Jason are friends of ours from St. Andrew's Family Fitness Center where we work out. So it was extra special for me to be able to celebrate their wedding day with them AND capture all the joy of their Big Day!

It started at the Harborview Hotel with preparation photos of Erin, followed by their "First Glance" on the grand staircase. After that we spent some time in and around Waterfront Park creating some beautiful images. It was a gorgeous day, Jason was looking SHARP, and of course Erin was STUNNING in her wedding gown! We circled back around, ending up at the Harbor Club, where the wedding took place on the Pavilion as the sun was setting over the cityscape.

Later we noticed how dramatic the moon was that night. Erin & Josh were so adventurous and gladly slipped out with me to create an amazing image of them beside the Pineapple Fountain with the moon overhead! Click Here to check out the rest of their images. CONGRATULATIONS Erin & Jason!!!

Melanie Oudin

The young, talented, and fearless Melanie Oudin from Marietta, GA, will be playing today as she advances to the second week of the US Open. Earlier this year at the Family Circle Cup I had a quick private photo shoot with the 17 year old tennis sensation. She is as sweet off the court as she is feisty on the court. Catch the action on ESPN and cheer her on!!!

Deana & Will at Debordieu Colony

I was so EXCITED last weekend as I drove North on Hwy 17 heading to Debordieu Colony. I was on my way to photograph a BEAUTIFUL wedding, in this PICTURESQUE setting, with a FANTASTIC couple, all coordinated by the AMAZING Elizabeth of Grand Occasions!

Deana & Will were so much fun to work with...not an ounce of stress...nothing but energy. Deana was adorable in her beautiful gown that was perfect for the beach setting they selected. After the ceremony everyone headed to the club house for cocktails on the lawn while
Pan Fusion, a steel drum band, floated "island style" tunes into the air. Inside,
M Gladden Designs had created an amazing spread of floral displays like you would not believe. As guests entered the club house, award winning Incredible Edible Cakes had their masterpiece on display at the center of the circular staircase for Deana & Will to do the honors. Upstairs in the ballroom, DJ Wally B raised the roof as the couple made their grand entrance!

The whole day was absolutely perfect. Click Here to see the rest of their photos. CONGRATULATIONS Deana & Will...you guys ROCK...no...REALLY!!! :-)

Serengeti

I've finally found a couple hours to edit some more of our Tanzania Adventure photos. By our second day on safari, our excellent guide, Leonard, had led us to all of the "Big Five". These images are from our first day in the Serengeti. We were UNBELIEVABLY lucky with our lion encounters. These big cats aren't anything like the tame, placid animals you see in the zoo. THESE have vibrant mains, sinewy muscles, and a fire in their eyes that sends a shiver down your spine when they look directly at you. It was SO COOL to see how God and nature intended these great beasts to live!

Robin & Leif

Here's a few of my favorites from Robin & Leif's fun family session. They have the most ADORABLE kids, don't they?!? It was a little stormy that day. But they decided to take a chance and were WELL rewarded. This is PROOF that days you don't "think" will be good for portraits are often the BEST days for portraits. The drama of that sky just ads so much dimension to the images! :-)

Corporate Head Shots

I had a fun shoot for the folks at the David Gilston Insurance Agency the other day. This was my second time out to their office. I know, it looks like this was photographed in some expensive studio somewhere. But we have an AMAZING portable studio setup we take on location to provide studio-quality portraits to our corporate clients IN THEIR OFFICE! They love it because there's no "down time" for their employees. Instead of each employee trucking over to our studio and wasting an hour of their time, we set everything up there and they simply walk down the hall when it's their turn. It's so cool because while I'm shooting, the images are wirelessly flying over to my laptop. So each person can review their images to make sure they're happy with the results before going back to their desk!

If you work in an office environment, or know of any companies that would benefit by having professional, executive-style head-shots, please let me know. We are accepting new corporate clients!

Wood Stork

Wood Storks sure have pretty markings when they fly overhead. But up close...mmm...not so much! :-) The Wood Stork is the only stork that presently breeds in North America. There is a small and endangeredd breeding population in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, along with a recently discovered rookery in southeastern North Carolina.
