What a way to kick off our 2008 wedding season. We had the honor of shooting the wedding of Beverly and J.T at Edisto Beach, South Carolina. We met up with them at a cool cabin that was situated along a river to cover their preparations. The celebration was to be a small, intimate affair with only their immediate family present. The weather was cold and rainy but it didnt dampen their sprits a bit! Tara and I really love to be around couple whos love really radiates and you could really feel it with them. It seemed like they have been in love forever. And what a sweet couple they were. Just the nicest people you could ever meet. We have been blessed with the most awesome people to work with and Beverly and J.T. were no exception. After everyone was ready, the party headed to an old Presbyterian church in old Edisto where Rev. McKinley Washington, Jr. presided over the ceremony. Reverend Washington is a former US Senator and has been the pastor of this church since 1964. The ceremony was conducted in the true Southern Gospel spirit and it was beautiful. After the ceremony and a group portrait session, we all headed back to the cabin/beach house so they could cut the cake with the family and have their first dance. We took Beverly, J.T. along with his Best Man and Maid of Honor out to the dockhouse and an old rustic work shed for some photos and we had a blast. They were having so much fun with the shoot despite the falling temperature and the rain that never stopped. According to legend, good luck comes to the couple who weds when it's raining and they will have a lot of great luck with the amount of rain that came down that day. Congratulations Beverly and J.T.

What a happy baby and a joy to work with. Aiden was a real model baby and kept his eyes on the camera as I moved around him.

Another family assignment on another beach. I just love the weather here in South Carolina. You can do beach shoots all year. his one was on New Year's Eve. I shot this on our way up to Myrtle Beach for the Focker's New Years Bash. This family was French and were from Montreal. Their child spoke in french and was positively adorable.

Here is one of two family photoshoots we did over the holidays. This family is from Chicago, Atlanta and South Carolina. They were staying at Wild Dunes and had us document their yarly reunion. They invited us up to their place after the session for some wine and appetizers. You know me and Tara will never turn down appetizers. I could live off them. A wonderful group to work with.

Recently shot the interiors and some exteriors for Welden Fields at Hampton Lakes, an exclusive community in Bluffton, South Carolina. After a full day of shooting these homes, I wanted to move from my own home and into something like the homes I shot.

The work environment was really nice. It was close to Christmas so there weren't any people around. No hurry. I got to take my time. Had my iPod on and shot away.
