The year in pictures: 2009

What a great year for us here at Red Shutter Studio. We made a lot of new friends and a bunch of awesome memories. We just love all the couples and families we had the opportunity to work with this year.

I put together some favorite images from the year as well as throwing in a couple classics from years ago. 

On to another great year in 2010!

South Carolina Aquarium, Charleston

We went down to the aquarium to check out the lighting and angles for an upcoming wedding reception that were to cover there. While there, i snapped a few shots of the residents.

Mystic Seaport, Connecticut

During our trip to NY/NJ to attend a family wedding and a commercial photoshoot for a New Jersey client, we took a couple days and explored. We decided on touring the Connecticut coast and ended up in Mystic, home of the famous seaport. We spent the night there and took in the beautiful New England scenery. The weather was absolutely magical. We of course had lunch at Mystic Pizza, made famous by the 1980's movie by the same name. The pizza was awesome by the way!

Folly Beach Surfers

When a tropical storm swings through town, I like to go to the beach and watch the surfers have fun. Some of these guys were pretty good!

Sedona

Finally - we made a trip up to Sedona. After living in Arizona for 4 years, we had never been there and were very regretful of that. This is a beautiful, almost magical place - the Red Rocks are truly amazing and the surrounding area of artist galleries and Southwest-themed shops and restaurants really made us miss living in this great State. Here are some shots taken for us - no work...just play up there!
