SoCon Baseball Championships

Baseball is one of the few sports I didn’t play much in school. I guess living overseas, the “Great American Game” wasn’t as popular. None-the-less, I had an awesome time photographing the Southern Conference Baseball Championships this week. In the finals, #1 ranked Elon destroyed #2 ranked College of Charleston 17-8. This is the first time in five years that the #1 ranked team in regular season standings has also won the Championships. “Elon starter Cory Harrilchak (#2) scattered four hits and struck out five in six innings of work to pick up the win. Harrilchak was 5-for-5 at the plate with three RBI while scoring four runs.” Cory (sprinting for another one of his runs in that last photo) was named Most Outstanding Player.

Kelly & Chris







Kelly & Chris came to us as WONDERFUL referals from Stephanie & Wade and Jenni & Zach. (It was AWESOME to see you guys again…I can’t thank you enough for recommending me to Kelly & Chris!) Kelly is so organized and on-the-ball about EVERYTHING. I love that about her…just like Cami. šŸ˜‰ And Chris is a huge movie buff. So you KNOW I had a fun time listening to the guys spout lines from Monte Python movies! Their ceremony was held at Sullivan’s Island Baptist Church where Kelly & Chris attend. It was a wonderful setting with a beautiful sanctuary, cute little courtyard, and fantastic red brick walls that seemed to glow in the afternoon sun. The reception was held at the Hobcaw Yacht Club, a quaint venue right on the river. On the way to the reception, serendipity happened! Seconds before we got there, the draw bridge from Sullivan’s Island opened, forcing us to stop. Some couples might have regarded this as a negative since it would mean taking that much longer to get to the reception. But not Kelly & Chris! With the sun setting in the distance, we all jumped out and took advantage of this OPPORTUNITY to create a dramatic portrait standing on top of the bridge in the gorgeous light!!! It was like God decided to stop the traffic JUST for us.

Hilton Dental

Dr. Hilton and his team at Hilton Dental have REALLY helped Cami and I improve our smiles and keep our teeth healthy. Stop in and visit them. You owe it to yourself to take good care of your smile. ESPECIALLY since it will help you look better in front of my camera – HA!!!

Beth & Jason






Beth & Jason had a WONDERFULLY intimate wedding on Folly Beach. It was a special occasion with only close family and friends invited. They met online while he was overseas in the military. Over time their relationship grew and they fell deeply in love. Throughout their Big Day, whenever they held hands and looked in each other’s eyes, my heart just melted! They truly shared a oneness in spirit that you just don’t see every day. Beth & Jason, you two are absolutely BEAUTIFUL together! THANK YOU for allowing me to come into your lives on this special day!!!

MUSC College of Health Professions



I had the honor of photographing the MUSC College of Health Professions Hooding Ceremony again this year. It’s so exciting for me to see all these young people embarking on a new journey in life, stepping out to become leaders in their chosen fields of health and medicine. CONGRATULATIONS to all the graduates!!! View all the photos here.

Katie & Joseph






Katie & Joseph got my name off one of my favorite couples from last year…Brittany & Chas. (Thanks for the great referral, guys…Katie & Joseph’s wedding was AWESOME!) I travel to Columbia a dozen or so times a year. But I’ve never photographed a wedding at the First Presbyterian Church. It was GORGEOUS! I truly love that shot of Joseph kissing Katie’s forehead during an emotionally charged moment immediately after they had recessed out of the sanctuary as husband and wife! The reception was held at the Columbia Museum of Art, which I love photographing in. They each gave a huge bouquet of flowers to their mothers (appropriate for Mother’s Day weekend). One of the highlights of the evening was when several of Katie’s friends (unannounced to the couple) re-enacted Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video to the delight of all the guests. It was fantastic!!! šŸ™‚ THANK YOU Katie & Joseph for helping me remember how lucky I am to be married to my best friend!

AVP Charleston Open





Well, the AVP Charleston Open is back in town! Here are a few of shots from the tournament. If you’ve ever gone for a walk on the beach (or worse, tried jogging on it) and woke up the next morning with sore calves and thighs, you can just imagine how physically fit these athletes are!!!

Carreen & Michael






I’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Carreen & Michael over the past year. When I photographed their Engagement Session a while back, I KNEW they were going to be one of my favorite couples. šŸ™‚ Their wedding was held at St. Luke’s Chapel. I LOVE the gorgeous sanctuary and quaint courtyard! The reception was held at The Hibernian Hall…ANOTHER wonderfully photogenic venue. Though they didn’t want to see each other before the ceremony, Carreen specifically requested the shot of each of them on either side of the door holding hands. The EXCITEMENT in their eyes for what’s about to transpire is PRICELESS! Carreen & Michael, may you always have that same spark in your eyes for each other forever and ever!!!

Skirt! Magazine

Recently I had the honor of photographing Laran D’Eustachio of Stella Nova for the back cover of Skirt! Magazine. She was a breath of fresh air and a bundle of energy. We had a GREAT time doing the shoot together!!! Next time you need to be pampered, make sure you visit Stella Nova. That’s where I go every few months when my back is aching and my bodies is beat up from lugging around all this camera gear! šŸ˜‰

Bain & Company



My good friend and fellow photographer, Gary Coleman needed a second-shooter for a neat golf event on Kiawah Island. Working with Gary is ALWAYS interesting (HA!) so how could I resist?!? We were to capture editorial images and action shots of all the Bain & Company VIP’s during their golf outing, which Gary would drop into a slideshow and present later that evening. When I called him this morning to see how it went, he said they LOVED it!!!

Coffee-Table Storybooks

We are SO EXCITED about how popular our Coffee-Table style storybooks have become. We have searched long and hard to find three different manufacuteres that offer beautiful and unique products that fit every budget. We’ve even been getting calls from brides who’s wedding we photographed YEARS ago, before such a product existed, asking us to go back and use their images to design one for THEM! It’s so cool to be able to use our creativity to tell the story of the day in this fluid style. Cami does the design. Her attention to detail, discerning eye, and degree from the Ohio Institute of Photography help her come up with some really beautiful layouts. Then I add appropriate quotes, scripture verses, or the song from the first dance. šŸ™‚ Here’s what one of our favorite brides said when she saw the layout of her storybook: “OHMYGOSH!!! Okay, anytime someone gets engaged, I always suggest your name for a photographer, but seeing our book makes me want to pay for a TV slot for you guys to advertise!!! The book is amazing!!!! We love it!”

Reinsurance Association of America



I always enjoy photographing on Kiawah Island. Just the drive out there through the tunnel of Spanish Moss covered oak trees draped over the winding road is an experience not to be missed. My most recent trip out there was to photograph a wonderful event for the RAA. During the morning session at The Sanctuary, their keynote speaker was George Will. Mr. Will is a twice-weekly columnist for The Post, writing about foreign and domestic politics and policy. Among many other accolades, he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished commentary in 1977 and The Washington Journalism Review named him “Best Writer, Any Subject” in 1985. He had some interesting insights on the current presidential race. What’s a trip to Kiawah without stretching your legs on a golf course? So after lunch, the attendees got to try their drivers out on the Cougar Point golf course.
