Meg and Matt's family vacationed every year on Edisto Island. Thats where they met and fell in love. So it was fitting that they get married there where they met. The ceremony and reception was held at Cypress Trees Plantation on Edisto Island and what a beautiful day they had. The night was a classic southern evening with spanish moss draped oaks and a full moon.

Boy, talk about threading a needle! Nancy and Mike's wedding happened one day after Tropical Storm Hanna left the Charleston area and man were we sweatin it the week before.

We spent a wonderful and perfect day with Gretchen, John Samuel and their family and friends. The wedding took place at the Grace Episcopal Church in Charleston and the reception was held at The Rice Mill. The bridal party were so fun, goofy and awesome to hang out with all day and this couple is one hell of an affectionate couple. Makes my job so easy! They'll be honeymooning in ST. John, USVI. Congrats you guys- you guys are a wonderful couple. Full Set can be seen at the link below:

We just got back from Seattle. We were there to shoot a very special wedding. This is my oldest son and his new wife. They are true progressive Seattle couple. Despite the tough-guy image with the mohawk, piercings and tattoos, this is the sweetest and most affectionate of all my kids. These two have been together a long time and have gone through a lot of rough times but they act as if they just met yesterday. Their love is strong and that is something I love to see. Congrats you guys! I just scored the sweetest of daughter-in-laws!

I shot some promotional photos of a young heavy metal/progressive rock band in the Seattle area recently. These guys are all under 17 and they are a very talented group of young men and are working on releasing their second album. This is the band during a practice session in a small dark garage. Instead of having them pose, I just told them to play and I shot them as candids. I did pose them for their group photo.

We got to see our November 2007 wedding couple again to shoot their maternity photos. Me and Tara were stoked to see Angela and Shawn again. We get to know our couples so well before their wedding and to see them again is so great especially for special events like this. We were there for the beginning of their family and now their baby is on her way. Angela is 8 months along and looks great. Shawn looks exactly the same. I shot the session in their home and we kept everything very simple. I was going for an ethereal look to the images- almost abstract. After the shoot we all went out to Oscars in Summerville for dinner and closed the place down. We had a great time cathing up with them in the time since their wedding.

This is our plan with our couples. To hopefully be a part of their family and record their special events in life. The wedding is just the start.

We met up with Sara and Shawn downtown at the Pineapple Fountain where he proposed to shoot some engagement shots. These two were very relaxed and self-directed so that made everything go so much faster.

It's a good thing too because we got rained out but were able to get the city shots done. We were supposed to spend time at the beach also, but a big electrical storm came and nixed all that.

We'll meet up again to finish this up at Folly Beach so stay tuned!

I loved the deserts of Arizona. While we were there, I got to wander the land of legends, the desert canyons and mountains and get some photos for me. {SEE THE PHOTOS HERE}

What an awesome opportunity to back to Arizona! We were tasked to shoot the hospital in Sierra Vista in the Southeast corner of this magnificent state. Here is where my daighter was born and where we left a lot of great friends. We added a few days onto the trip to visit with our old friends and we did a lot of catching up. Sometimes work takes us to wonderful places.
