Tasha & Joe took a little R&R last week and rented a place on Folly Beach. They’re expecting TWINS! J So to celebrate, their growing family, they brought their “other” family member, Titan, out for a fun Family Portrait Session on the beach.

Robbin & Leighanne at Folly Beach
Yesterday Cami & I did a fun “Dual Photo Shoot” with our good friends Robbin & Leighanne of Robbin Knight Photography! We went out to Folly Beach where we took turns photographing each other for our respective Christmas Card photos. First Robbin & Leighanne would set Cami & I up with our golden retriever, Marley, and photograph us. Then we’d do the same for their family. It was a BLAST and we had a lot of fun trading who was shooting, who was watching “the kids”, and who was playing with the squeaky toy. Afterwards we took the dogs, the kids, and our tired selves to a dog-friendly restaurant on the island and had a great time relaxing on the patio with the cool evening breeze and wonderful conversation. Here’s a couple of my favorites of the Knight gang. You’ll have to wait until Christmas to see ours!!! J

Jessie & Phil at DeBordieu Colony
It was a peaceful, sunny drive to Pawley’s Island last weekend to photograph Jessie & Phil’s wedding. I first met Jessie & Phil at Julie & Howie’s wedding last year where they were guests. We hit it off right away partly because Jessie is the owner of Pawley Paws Grooming & Supplies and loves animals as much as Cami & I do.
They met each other through Howie and mutual friends. After dating for a while, Jessie took Phil with her on an annual trip to visit her friends in New Jersey. They all knew she was serious about him when she did that. But they had no idea Phil had plans of his own…he asked her to marry him that weekend! J As they say, the rest is history. The amazing pair were married at the picturesque Precious Blood of Christ Catholic Church. And their reception was held at the gorgeous DeBordieu Colony Beach Club. Blossoms Events provided the beautiful bouquets and floral arrangements. Incredible Edibles created a fabulous wedding cake. Cape Fear Photo Booth company brought lots of fun entertainment. And the Triple Lindy Band, one of my favorite for sure, filled the air with foot-stompin’ tunes all night long! After watching their Music Video at www.chrisandcami.com/blog, head over to www.chrisandcami.zenfolio.com to see the rest of their Online Gallery.
CONGRATULATIONS Jessie & Phil! You guys inspire me to be a better person and a better husband. YOU ROCK!

Moody Air Force Base
Monday I had a really neat opportunity to use my Creative Lighting System. The amazing folks at TranSystems, who I’d done a similar shoot for at Shaw AFB, called to ask if I’d be willing to drive to Moody AFB in Valdosta, GA for this one. Turns out they are up for an incredible award due to the efficiency and “green” design of this new dorm building. I was honored and jumped at the opportunity. I photographed all day, doing lots of Interior/Architectural images in and around the property. But of course the “money shot” was going to be at dusk. This was the last frame of the night. I had a total of 8 - SB800/SB900 flashes blazing. Each had a ½ CTO filter on it. Most were triggered by my trusty RadioPoppers (though the closer ones just used regular old line-of-sight CLS). I shot this about 20 minutes after sunset with a Nikon D3 and 14-24 f2.8 at 14mm. By the time I’d packed up and headed home, it was a very long but rewarding day!

Mihaela & Vicintiu's Romania Wedding
Yesterday I had the pleasant surprise of a wonderful phone call from Mihaela, who’s wedding to Vicintiu I photographed in Romania back in July. She was in the US visiting friends and family. I was so honored that she would take the time to reach out and thank me again for being a part of their wedding! What a sweetheart!!!
So I thought I’d post a few photos from their gorgeous day. I have to say, this was by far the most surreal wedding I have ever had the privilege of photographing! It was on a beautiful, pristine, mountainside near Campulung. A light afternoon shower had cleansed the landscape and brought a crisp freshness to the air. A dreamy mist was rising from the valley below. And we weren’t alone…wild horses had also discovered the picturesque meadow we were in. They pranced and played in the background throughout the service. Then just as magically as they appeared…wandered off to an adjoining hill side just before we left. It was one of those serendipitous experiences I’ll never forget for as long as I live.
Congratulations again to “Miha & Vic”. Always remember the magic moments of your life!!!
