Les Robinson Retirement Roast

Les Robinson’s sport’s resume is the envy of many a coach or athletic director. From Western Carolina University to East Tennessee State University to North Carolina State University to The Citadel…he’s done it all. He even served as an assistant coach for the U.S. World Championship qualifying team in 1989! So when the opportunity came up for us to photograph his Retirement Roast at The Citadel last week…how could we say no!?! It was a FANTASTIC affair with a guest-speaker list that reads like a who’s-who of college basketball. To Kathleen and Gina…many thanks for all your hard work and for the pleasure of working with you on this amazing project! To Coach…we’ll miss you!!!

Nason Medical Center

If you’ve seen any of the recent ads on TV for the Nason Medical Center, I’m sure you’ve been impressed! I had even MORE respect after meeting Dr. Barron Nason while doing a shoot for his new billboard that will be going up along Savannah Highway. He is so professional, personal, and down-to-earth! Next time you need emergency care, skip the ER and head over to their new facility. Like Dr. Barron says, “Don’t wait on healthcare, let healthcare wait on YOU!”

Tiffany & Brandon







Ahhh…Tiffany & Brandon…what a GORGEOUS wedding! I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know these two over the past year. You couldn’t find two nicer people in the whole world! We had a BLAST during their engagement session at Folly Beach last year. And when I saw Tiffany in her wedding gown at her Bridal Session, I KNEW I was going to get some “portfolio material” out of her! Tall, elegant, and stunning!!! They were originally to marry at Bethel UMC. But due to some major termite damage, they’re having to renovate that sanctuary. So they moved over to the Cathedral of St. Luke & St. Paul, which I think is absolutely beautiful. Don’t these two look super excited to be married in that third shot as they recess down the isle? Their reception was held at The Old Exchange Building. Highlights of the evening included a guest appearance by…well…you can figure that one out, and a hearty performance by the Village People. I could tell everyone had a great time and the pictures prove it. Click here to see the rest of their photos. CONGRATULATIONS Tiffany & Brandon!!!

New French Open Champion

I was a little disappointed in the men’s finals this year. I guess since Federer had a win over Nadal on clay earlier in the season, I figured he’d give the “clay-court-king” a better run for his money. However, I really enjoyed the women’s finals between two of my favorite players in the field today. Jelena Jankovic and Anna Ivanovic, both from Serbia, have epitomized the intensity, passion, dedication, and true sportsmanship that I most appreciate in world class athletes. Here’s a shot of Anna Ivanovic I photographed during the Bausch & Lomb Championships on Amelia Island last year. Don’t let the elegant ball-toss deceive you…this girl packs a powerful punch!!! šŸ™‚ Congratulations to Anna on her first Grand Slam title.

Jacci & Scott

Jacci & Scott are a match made in heaven! I had THE BEST time photographing their wedding last weekend! They tied the knot at Sunrise Presbyterian Church on Sullivan’s Island. The sanctuary there is so beautiful with it’s vaulted ceilings, natural wood, and stained glass cross. One of my favorite shots of the day is of the girls hanging out in the back room before the service, as reflected in the floor-length mirror beside them. After the spirit-led ceremony, the bridal party made a fun pit-stop at the roof-top bar over The Boathouse on Isle of Palms before heading on to the reception at The Citadel Beach House. We had an AWESOME sunset that evening, so I was able to create some amazing images of Jacci & Scott on the beach. Their enthusiasm for making beautiful photos really pumped me up! The reception itself was just SICK. I have never seen such a high percentage of the guests out there dancing and partying all the way until the bitter-sweet end when Jacci and Scott scooted off into the night in their Black Cab. I had so much fun with everyone…the bridesmaids were beautiful, the groomsman were a trip, and the families were wonderful. Click Here to check out the rest of their photos. Jacci & Scott, THANK YOU for letting me be a part of your “heaven” for a day!!!

Allison & Brett’s New Book

Allison & Brett just made my day with this WONDERFUL note about their new storybooks. Thanks you guys!

Ginn Tribute Hosted by Annika 2008

It was HOT out there! But I still had a fun time photographing the Ginn Tribute again this year for the Charleston Metro Sports Council. This is a wonderful organization that’s so instrumental in bringing sporting events to the Charleston area. A humongous THANK YOU goes to Kathleen Cartland for her incredible dedication. She’s always a joy to work with!

Let’s meet a few of “da pleya’s” in their respective rolls yesterday…

” The Rookie who’s Making Noise”

” The Lady who Lost it All”

“The Almost-Made-It”

“The Gracious Host”

“The Champion” (with her crystal, her new car, and a REALLY BIG CHECK) šŸ™‚

Brittany & Mitch

Brittany & Mitchell’s wedding absolutely MADE MY WEEK!!! I knew when I photographed their engagement session that I was in for a wild ride with these two. šŸ™‚ It was freezing, windy, and threatening to storm that day when we arrived at Folly Beach. Most couples would have turned their tails and RAN! But Brittany & Mitch were all gung-ho and we ended up with the most awesome, DRAMATIC images as a result. Well, their wedding day turned out GORGEOUS and I ended up getting the most dramatic shots of a different nature! I usually don’t have any trouble picking out a few of my favorites for this Blog. But I had the HARDEST time narrowing it down to just these few black-and-whites. Their ceremony was at the picture-perfect Legend Oaks Plantation. Their flower girls were adorable. Their bridesmaids and groomsman were a TRIP! Mitch was actually a groomsman in Emily & Brian’s wedding, which I photographed a few years ago. (Thanks for the AWESOME referral you guys!) So it was cool to see them returning the favor to their friends and pulling the line as part of the wedding party this time. After all the craziness died down, Brittany & Mitch invited me to come photograph a few cool images of them at the Flowertown B&B;, where they spent their honeymoon night. So I’ll end with one of those images. Leave us some love on the Blog. And Click Here to see the rest…
CONGRATULATIONS Brittany & Mitch. You are two “wild and crazy guys”!

Tea Pots

I love photographing assignments for our WONDERFUL clients at Signature Kitchens & Baths. They allow me a “hall-pass” to photograph the most sumptuous homes in Charleston. Sometimes I feel like I’m walking into an episode of “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous”. This assignment was no different. The team at Signature Kitchens had truly done a marvelous job designing and building a beautiful kitchen and breakfast room in this historic home. I can’t tell you the address, but it’s right along the battery with an AMAZING view of Charleston Bay. This shot was just a quick inset I photographed of the owner’s beautiful tea pot collection in the new cabinets over the sink. Aren’t they cool?!?

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!!!
