The best part of my job is meeting new, fun, and friendly people!!!
Last week I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing some new headshots for the Joye Law Firm. I’ve been working with their team for a few years now. And everyone they hire always seems to be so happy! I’d say this law firm must be really great to work for. Having a friendly work environment and a pleasant culture to be a part of makes for happy employees!!!
Last week I had the pleasure of photographing these fun, colorful, romantic images for Amanda & Trey! We had so much fun exploring Waterfront Park, Rainbow Row, and Adgers Wharf…before they headed off for a nice dinner date. 🙂
As I often do, I arrived early and found this beautiful heron hunting in the marsh while I waited for them. Then heading home, I couldn’t help stopping to capture the sunset through the sailing ships moored on the Ashley River.
As Debi and Scott began planning their destination vow renewal in Charleston, the most important part was to have all their children together for the weekend! They are a blended family, with adult kids who have sprouted roots all over the country. So to find a date that worked with everyone’s schedules was tough…but they did it!!!
To comemorate this rare occurance, they asked me to spend a couple hours with them and their family, exploring different parts of Charleston, and capturing a wide variety of photographs of everyone together!
Debi & Scott are such an amazing couple! And it was an absolute pleasure to spend time with them and their growing family. 🙂
I used to photograph a lot of hotels. One of my favorite clients was the Naman Hotels chain. Unfortunately, they moved over to using an internal source for their photography needs. But this week, my old contact reached out and said they needed some updated drone shots of their Staybridge Suites property in North Charleeston…and would I be willing to help out!
I got there pre-dawn to photograph some dramatic shots during “blue-hour”. Then Dexter and I had a nice time catching up over breakfast. And later I came back to get some daylight shots on a beautiful blue sky day. All images were shot with the DJI Mavic 3 Pro, with proper authorization obtained from nearby Charleston International Airport.
It was an absolute pleasure photographing the PNC Elite Awards Banquet at the Westin Savannah Harbor Resort earlier this week!
Because all the Elite Awards Winners were going to be receiving complimentary headshots during cocktail hour, my good friend and amazing photographer, Jason, joined me so we could double the pace. We set up two identical shooting stations on either side of a Savage Studio Gray backdrop. This allowed us two have two shooting stations going full tilt so we could get everyone photographed before the awards banquet began.
Once everyone had gotten their portraits made, Jason and I quickly repurposed several of the off-camera speedlights to use as spot-lights on the stage. As each award winner was called up, I photographed the formal shot of them receiving the award, while Jason coverd the podium and candids of the crowd cheering and clapping for their friends. It was a fun and exciting night!
Many thanks to Laura at KLH Group, as well as Margeaux & Danielle at PNC Bank, for trusting us with this assignment and keeping everything organized.
I am so excited about Jackie & Jason’s upcoming wedding this November!!!
We’ve been talking, emailing, and planning for a couple months now. But yesterday was the first time I’d actually met Jackie & Jason in person! We met up at White Point Garden during late afternoon Golden Hour for their Engagement Session. We had so much fun getting to know each other, capturing their love for each other, and exploring the old historic downtown area around The Battery together.
Jason is a law enforcement officer with Isle of Palms. Jackie works in hospitality with Seabrook Island. They are absolutely ADORABLE together! And I can’t wait to be there for them on their Big Day!!! 🙂
It’s always a pleasure photographing for Premier Physical Therapy! Jill and her team are top notch!!! So much so that not only are we their photographers, we’re also clients who have used their services many times to rehab injuries over the years.
This week, Cami and I got to photograph several new members to their team…of both the 2-legged and the 4-legged variety! 😉
Who doesn’t like shiny new toolboxes, powerful truck lifts, and massive air hoses?!? Photographing the new Mt. Pleasant Fleet Maintenance Building recently built by Trident Construction was SO COOL!!! It was like being on a long lost episode of Home Improvement with Tim the Toolman Tailor. 🙂
What started out as a small get together to raise money for charity in 1994, has evolved into one of the top Celebrity Pro-Ams in the country. Thanks to the commitment of Hootie & the Blowfish, the MAM has generated millions of dollars for children’s educational programs and the South Carolina junior golf program. Darius, Dean, Mark and Soni remain true to their philanthropic roots in hosting this one-of-a-kind event.
It was an absolute pleasure being invited to be part of the photography team covering Monday After the Masters this year!
I had so much fun photographing Kate & Matthew’s Engagement Photos at Hampton Park last week!
Matthew works at Westbrook Brewing. Kate works in the insurance industry at Park Circle. The two of them met online at the tail end of the Covid pandemic. Their first date was at Mellow Mushroom, just as restaurants were opening back up. They made an instant connection. And the rest is history!!! 🙂
CONGRATULATIONS Kate & Matthew! I can’t wait to be there for you two on your wedding day…
The TASOK Reunion in Tampa, hosted by class of ’84 and ’85, was an absolute BLAST!!!! We had so much fun hanging out, catching up on old times, and creating new memories together. Many thanks to Jennifer Ross, Alicia Neely, Liat Zohar, Christine Onyango, Grace Xavier and everyone who helped make this weekend possible. Also, a special shout-out to the spouses who attended…we know it’s not easy! The food was AMAZING…chicken mwamba, fufu, sakasaka, samosas, and so much more! The live music was fabulous! The Zairian cloth was so cool! The zoom call with those who couldn’t attend in person was really neat! The accomodations were perfect! It truly was special weekend, reconnecting with “our tribe”.
Here are a few photos to commemorate the occasion. I tried tagging as many folks as I could. I’m going to apologize in advance because I’m SURE I tagged the beautiful Bleske twins backwards in a lot of them…HA! If the organizing committee could please tag whoever I forgot (and correct any errors), that would be great.
Until the next one…TASOK OYE!!!!
Photographing The Cape, an amazing brand new high-end condo complex on Kiawah Island, was an absolute dream! Although the project is far from complete, I was able to get into a few of the units. The views are absolutely STUNNING!!! Many thanks to Anna and the team at Trident Construcion for this amazing oportunity.
