Ceremony - Destin United Methodist ChurchReception - Emerald Grand As we continue along the timeline of weddings in my quest to blog every wedding we shot this year, we find ourselves in Destin, FL for Mary Beth and Tatum's wedding.  I always love shooting for the Miller family and this wedding was no exception.  Mary Beth and Tatum gave us so much opportunity to do bride and groom shots, they

Venue : Blackhaven Nashville, TN We traveled up to Nasville, TN a week after the flooding.  We were a bit worried that we might be moving venues, but the waters didn't get high enough to ruin their wedding.  Christina and John were amazing to work with and did everything we asked of them that they could do.  All we needed was a ladder and we could have had some very interesting shots!  I was told

I wanted to take some pictures of Cade this morning before it got too hot.  He did such a great job, but it just gets too hot too darn fast and before too long he was sweating up a storm.  Then we went to the park so he could play.  It has been a wonderful weekend.  I love shooting weddings, but every now and then it is so wonderful to just spend the weekend with Dawn and Cade!

It was a very hot day the first weekend of May.  I am still a go for blogging every wedding this year.  I think I might be able to pull this off, I just have to stay focused.  We shot Joanna's wedding on May 1st and it was very hot.  Not quite as hot as it is now, but it was pretty hot.  I love the shots that we did at night by and on the Sherman Tank.

JUDGES COMMENTS: Strong color and graphic impact. Nice job. JUDGES COMMENTS: Great detail and composition, and an excellent use of color. This is the winning image in the details category.  Contests always surprise me, because the images that I am always sure that will do fine will often not place and the ones that I throw in there at the last minute will  do great!  This was one of my last

I've already posted this on Twitter and Facebook, but this is just in case anyone missed it.  I came up with this idea for our new t-shirts for this year.  I have been talking to Teal about doing this probably ever since her wedding and we finally got the opportunity the weekend of Tabby's wedding.  On Sunday we traipsed out into the snow and Teal relentlessly boarded up and down the hill as I

We shot this at the beginning of the snowstorm that hit the North East.  I am posting this as a teaser for Tabby who is frantically hoping to see her pictures soon!!  Can't wait till February to see you again.  Hope the weather's not too bad for you guys right now.

Just a quick pic from our trip to northern Indiana.  My Mom used to go to this store when she was a little girl so we thought we'd stop when we were there. Here's one of my Mom and Cade in LaGrange, In, where I was born.  My Mom's hometown!!

I think that we should all try and find what inspires us, what gives life meaning.  Sometimes you'll be surprised, I know I was.

Here is another engagement session that we just did with Joanna and Josh.  Actually Cade was at the doctor, very sick but Joanna and Josh were very nice to me during the session.   They like the country so I wanted to give them something outside the city so we went on a long drive to the country to an old barn that I knew of and did the session there!!

So I thought I might fill you in on what we have been up to before the trip to New York.  We headed down to Orlando 2 weeks ago and photographed Rose and Chris' engagement session.  I had a great  time despite the briskness for Florida, the next day it was in the high 80's.  I can't wait to rock their wedding in March in Orlando!!  Thanks for all the walking you guys did for me that day.

during my engagement session, but afterwards, we still found time to go out and play in the snow a bit.  Cade wasn't that crazy about it though, so we weren't out very long. I did manage to nab this awesome shot of my sexy wife!!  She is so beautiful.

These are a few images from the engagement session that we shot for Chrissy and Brandon on our way back from Miami at the beginning of the month.  I thought I would be too exhausted to do this but I had a wonderful time.  We had to work as fast as we could to try and beat the sun, but ultimately we did end up shooting in the dark. This is one of my favorites!

It's been a while since we've posted a wedding, but that doesn't mean we haven't been shooting them. Now that the season is winding down for us, I felt like it was time to start blogging a few of them. This wedding was 1 of 2 we had over in France at the beginning of the year. It was a lot of fun, they were Venezuelan and it was awesome to see the difference in the culture. Their reception

It's so hard for me to believe that a year ago Dawn and I were in the hospital still in shock over what happened to us. It has gone by so fast and furious that I feel sick to my stomach. All the things that we have gotten to share with him is a lifetime of experiences for most people and we have done it in a year. From flying to New York when he was only 6 weeks old, to his first time at a

Cade with his first Easter Basket!!  I love him so much.  So we decided at the last minute to give him an Easter Basket.  After our wedding yesterday we stopped off at a Wal-Mart to put a basket together.  Apparently this is the only Wal-Mart Supercenter that closes at midnight.  We were trying to pick out some toys to put in his basket and they were yelling at us to get out of the store.  This

Awesome wedding! Despite the rain at the end of it, we had a great time! Thanks to the team at Be-Zaar events for the referral on this one. They did a great job turning this wedding into what Carmen said was the wedding of her dreams!

Thank God that we have a new computer and we are finally getting things out again.  No more MAC problems.  Anyway, we shot Raquel and Austin's wedding in February and we had a great time!  They are an awesome couple.  Raquel also had the privilege of being the first wedding that Cade got to go to. Although it was a brief appearance, after all he charges by the hour!!  Awesome images, enjoy!!

Here's your chance to help out the ordinary people that unlike all of us, have no roof over their head.  On Friday night, John and I are participating in a program called Homeless 4 a Night.  we will be sleeping on church grounds with no shelter except for a sleeping bag or a box and no food that we are allowed to bring ourselves.  The point of this is to raise awareness and money for the

It crashed on me in June last year and put us behind by about 3 months, well it crashed again last month and Apple can't get it right.

In the spirit of catching up, here is Kelli and Drew's session. My friend Jonathan came out to help on this one and keep me company on the long ride to Moultrie. Kelli's dad owns Gin Creek, a fantasti location for a wedding if you want something non-urban and rustic. It is an awesome place to shoot and Kelli and Drew were a ton of fun, I can't wait for their wedding in June!!A shot of me

I shot this a while back, but I waned to get caught up on my blogging. I'm so excitd to shoot Angie and Doug's wedding, they are like old friends! We had a great time during the e-shoot, they are absolutely awesome! This was all about timing as we almost got kicked out of the building, we only had one shot.They are so much fun and so open to try anything......I do mean anything!

I need to get caught up on my blogging so here's my attempt. I shot Raquel and Austin's engagement session a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to post some of the images from it. I had a great time with them and they were so completely easy to work with. I can't wait until the wedding!!Gotta love that late afternoon light.

Here are some of my recent favorites of Piglet. I told him I would put pictures of him up today. So far so good, we are still taking a picture of him everyday. Here he is blowing bubbles!And he is smiling alot now too!The unfortunate necessity...a trip to the doctor for his 2 month checkup. Getting his shots, I cried while this was happening. Dawn laughed at me.Look at that sad little face.

We got a call from the folks at La Bella Bride, a northeast regional wedding magazine and they told me that they were sending me some magazines because they had published one of our pictures from Samantha's wedding.  We were surprised, but excited!  The folks at La Bella Bride have been awesome and we look forward to working with them again!!  You should definitely check them out.

I know it has been quite a while since we have posted anything and I'm sorry. We have been very busy lately, there is a lot to get you updated about. This is one of them. We got an e-mail the other day letting us know that our picture of Sam in front of the Chateau Challain won 6th place internationally. We were very excited and very proud. So far this is the highest I've placed in this

These were from Cade's first day at home. He is so lucky to have so many people that loe him and that were here to meet him. It has been a mindnumbing experience these last 3 weeks, but we love our little boy and we are desperately trying to be the best parents for him that we can be. So many times we have felt like we are letting him down, but we aren't giving up!Look at that little hand.Cade

Well, this was the weekend before Dawn gave birth to Cade, so that is why I am a bit late with this post.  So Jonathan, Kristen and I headed to Jekyll Island for a very laid back wedding at the Jekyll Club Hotel.  We have gotten to shoot at the Hotel a lot this year and I have to say that it is one of my favorite places to shoot.  There is always something different that you can do.  I kept my

Well, here they are.  I did these the same way that I approach everything else with my work.  I wanted something natural and in Black and White to portray the feeling and emotion that we are feeling.  I think color can be too playful sometimes and doesn't do the images justice.  I actually didn't even want to do them at first, I was scared.  This is my child, I don't want to screw up.  I didn't

Last weekend we shot Therese and Dean's wedding. Therese is from Chicago but she came all the way down to Georgia at Gin Creek in Moultrie to get married. It was such an awesome day and I got to share it with my friends Jonathan and Kevin. I even got to make new friends with the wedding party and hopefully they'll keep in touch. I hope that Therese and Dean have a great time at their

I did something the other day that I have never done before, I made a grilled cheese sandwich.  I had just watched an episode of Bobby Flay's Throwdown about grilled cheese sandwiches and I guess I was inspired.  Dawn even had me make one for her the next day for lunch.Tonight I had a really good friend stop by  that I haven't seen since I was in college.  Kevin has been touring with the Sesame

I wanted to say that we are so pumped to have added Tracy and Garrett(pictured below)  and Ashley and Joshua.  The last 2 weddings that we just booked are going to be so completely awesome, I can't wait for next year!!!  I got this image from Courtney's facebook page, I hope she doesn't mind, so that I could show them off.  Unfortunately, I wasn't smart enough to steal an image off of Ashley and

In the spirit of getting caught up, I am going to try and start posting right after weddings again. Oh man, this was early, we started at 6A.M. this weekend!! Now that Dawn is staying home, I had to enlist a bit of help, so my friend Jonathan Chick came to give me a helping hand. We had an awesome time with Brittany and Blake, they even spent some time with us after the wedding to do some cool

I wanted to do something a bit different this time.  I wanted to show one of the images that inspired me to take pictures.  This is one of my favorite images of all time and it is so strong and moving.  The first time I saw this was when I was in band in high school and we watched a presentation on Tiananmen Square, this was the last image in that moving presentation.Jeff Widener (born August 11,

I wanted to be able to show off a little more from the marketing campaign that we did. I felt like there was so much to do and I was only able to scratch the surface for this shoot. I wish I could have spent a month there, but I just couldn't. I couldn't give up my weddings though!K.C. made an awesome model and a willing participant to our little experiment.TealWho's this?

We're about to head to the airport to fly to Philadelphia. Can't believe it's so early. Dawn is going to get mad at me if she comes out of the bathroom and I am goofing around on the computer. HAHA!

In May while we were shooting images for our friends, we had the pleasure to shoot Nathalie and Rodrigo's wedding at the Chateau! They are from San Diego and did the whole wedding at the last minute. The whole thing was right out of a fairy tale as it usually is when Cynthia is involved! Check out her website at The Chateau. Here are some of the images from that day. Strange really, the last

In May we were taken to France to shoot a marketing campaign for our very awesome friends. We also got to shoot a wedding for a couple from San Diego at the castle too, how cool! We ended up taking so many images from there that we will hav to post them in sections. In fact, the picture on our homepage is of our friend Sam at her castle.

Lindsay and Willis wanted to go to this hunting lodge to do their engagement session and we had a great time, in spite of the fact that it rained the whole time!! It was great. Eventually, it got so bad that we had to stop, but it was fun while it lasted. Thanks again you guys for not quitting on me. Love this one and this one

What an awesome day!! It was the 2nd weekend of rain in a row, but the images still came out awesome! I know that I've already used that word, butI can't think of a better way to describe this wedding. Cayce and Richard got married at Peachtree United Methodist with a reception at The Georgain Terrace! We even had a first, Cayce's sister went into labor before the ceremony and had a baby

We had talked about it before and they gave me one. This is so awesome, thanks you guys!! I love the look of old polaroid pictures and I think it's terrible that they are fading out. Polaroid has

After Saturdays wedding in Albany, Dawn took me down to Tampa to see Bon Jovi play at the St. Pete Times Forum! This was one of my Christmas presents this year. I had a blast, I wish I could say the same thing about Dawn. She is just not a fan of great music. We had perfect seats. I was able to get these awesome overall shots of the concert.I promise that I will start posting wedding images soon,

Thankfully, they were nie enough to send us a copy and give us PDF's of it so that we could brag a bit. Thanks Brooke and Carrie, you guys rock! Anyway, here is the feature... This is the page
