Kaitlin & Stevie’s Engagement at the Lagare Waring House

I’ve known the Petit family for a long time. It’s been my honor to photograph Chris & Shelley’s wedding, as well as Jody & Gerald’s wedding. So imagine my excitement when I found out I’ll be photographing their brother Stevie’s wedding to his beautiful fiance, Kaitlin!!!

Kaitlin & I have been emailing each other over this winter, working out details and plans for their wedding in the fall. One of the things she wanted to schedule fairly soon was their engagement photos. In fact, we originally had it scheduled for last week when that crazy winter storm blew through Charleston!!! Kaitlin & Stevie are so adventurous that they were totally game for having their photo shoot in the rare snowfall. But sadly, Charles Towne Landing closed due to the weather. So we rescheduled, and it turned out to be an absolutely GORGEOUS 70-degree day with beautiful afternoon light streaming throught he trees!

I had so much fun getting to know Kaitlin & Stevie. I can’t wait to meet her amazing family, and reconnect with the Petit family! Their wedding at Founder’s Hall inside this State Historic Site is going to be absolutely AMAZING!!!

Headshots for Weeks & Irvine

It was a dreary, drizzly day to drive to Mauldin…which is up near Greenville. But photographing the newest team member for Weeks & Irvine was totally worth it! After photographing his headshot, I visited the North Charleston location to photograph two more new team members. Everyone was so much fun to work with! And the photos turned out great! Many thanks to Nicole for coordinating everyone’s schedules to make this happen. 🙂

Reeves Family Triplets Bar Matzvah

Capturing a Bar Mitzvah for triplets is a truly unique experience. Photographing this big day for Charlie, Evan, and Ray was no exception!

The day began with an intimate and meaningful service at the Synagogue Emanu-El, where each of the boys took part in the traditional readings. They all did an amazing job. It was clear how proud their parents were. The synagogue also providid a great setting for a number of individual and family portraits!

Afterward, we headed to the Daniel Island Country Club, where the celebration continued in grand style. The space was transformed into a vibrant, high-energy venue, thanks to the amazing work of Sha Sha from Loluma. She truly outdid herself with the details, from the fun photo booth to the kid’s lounge, and the bright, colorful decorations that reflected the boys’ personalities. Throughout the evening, DJ Neezy kept the party rockin’ and kept the energy flowing!

As an event photographer, it’s always a pleasure to capture moments of joy, laughter, and excitement—and there was no shortage of those at the Reeves Family Bar Mitzvah! Whether it was the kids playing games, candid shots of everyone dancing, the triplets being raised up during the Hora, family and friends sharing a laugh with each other, or the beautiful family portraits…this event was full of memories that will last a lifetime. This day was a true celebration of family, tradition, and fun!

Many thanks to Amanda & Josh for trusting me with capturing all the beautiful moments of this special day. Please help me in congratulating Charlie, Evan, and Ray!!!

Nester Family on Seabrook Island

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing the Nester family for the last 18 years!!! I first met this beautiful family when I photographed Jeff & Suzanna’s amazing wedding. It’s been an honor and a privilege to watch their family grow over the years, capturing beautiful memories for them during their family vacations on Seabrook Island!!!

Kruse Family on Kiawah Island

When Jen contacted me, she was originally interested in having her son’s Senior Portraits taken while they were here vacationing on Kiawah Island. But as we chatted, the plan morphed into a full-on Family Portrait Session!

Originally from Ohio, it was so much fun to get to know this family, and catch up on all the old haunts we have in common up north. We had a beautiful day and came away with a ton of great photos to commemorate their time together here in the Lowcountry!!!

B.W. Mitchum Trucking Co.

For almost 70 years, B.W. Mitchum continues to be a leader in customized intermodal and domestic transportation, while still maintaining the core principles you’d expect from a 3rd generation family business. Ronnie, who has steared the ship since 1990, takes great pride in the reliable and personalized customer service they are known for. The company provides exceptional logistical support, transportation, warehousing, transloading, and brokerage services to their industry. They now operate multiple terminals with over 200 trucks!

I’ve known Ronnie & Jan for many years. I mentored Jan, who is an excellent photographer in her own right. I photograph family portraits for them. And I even photographed their daughter’s wedding! So when their daughter, Brooke, reached out to ask if I would help capture some new and updated headshots and team photos for them to use in a new website they were building, I was absolutely delighted!!!

The Citadel Foundation Holiday Gala

The Citadel Foundation knows how to party!!!

This year’s Holiday Gala was held inside the Johnson Hagood Memorial Stadium event hall. Everyone arrived all decked out in their finest Christmas sweaters and festive holiday outfits. Upon entering the double-glass doors, they were greeted with my portrait station. Everyone got into it and had so much fun capturing nice formal portraits in front of the Christmas scene that the staff had set up. After each portrait, we printed out a beautiful 5×7 and placed it in an elegant folder for them to take home as a party favor. Everyone also received digital copies that they could text, email, and share on social media.

Many thanks to Riviere and her team for organizing such an awesome event!!!

Seamon Whiteside New Greenville Office

One of my favorite parts about being a professional photographer for so many years is the long-term relationships I’ve built with my clients. One of my favorites is the engineering firm of Seamon Whiteside!!!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing some marketing photos in their brand new Greenville office! Seamon Whiteside has offices all over the state. And they’ve had one in Greenville for years. But they just moved into a spacious new facility that they helped design from the ground up. While I was there, I also photographed headshots for several new team members.

We all had a BLAST and came away with a ton of fun photographs!!!

Darren’s Senior Portraits

I had so much fun photographing Darren’s senior portraits yesterday!

He’s the youngest of three, and a big football star. Between photographing his older sister, Natalie (6 years ago), and his older brother, Daniel (3 years ago), it’s been a real pleasure getting to know this amazing family! Unfortunately, Daniel had to work. But Sheri, Scott, and Natalie joined in the fun, keeping Darren engaged, distracted, and having fun! We started out at White Point Garden for some “Charleston Charm”. Then we headed out to their condo on Isle of Palms for some beach shots and sunset photos.

CONGRATULATIONS Darren!!!

Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary for Trident Construction

Cami and I are both huge animal-lovers. So when my friends at Trident Construction invited me to photograph the brand new state-of-the-art facility they had just completed at the Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary, I jumped at the chance!

It’s the season of giving…and adopting! Check out https://www.halliehill.com/ to make a donation…or make an appointment to meet some of their four-legged friends. Who knows?!? You just might find that perfect pet you’ve been looking for, and give them their forever-home!

Destination Event at the Mohegan Sun Resort

When my friend and amazing photographer, Gary Coleman, asked me to join him in covering a big event he had to shoot for Comcast at the Mohegan Sun Resort in Uncasville, CT, I jumped at the chance!!!

For those of you who don’t know, Gary and I have been great friends for several decades…even moving to Charleston together when the company we worked for at the time was expanding into the southeast. We always have a BLAST working together! And this event was no different.

Thanks for letting me tag along and play “second-shooter”, Gary!!!
