This will be my 3rd year photographing Lindsay & Hannah. It’s a shoot I look forward to every year! As you can tell, Hannah is like a mini-supermodel…alway so fun to work with. Lindsay, I think you’ve got yourself a winner!!! 🙂

Working in tight places is always a challenge. Photographing any type of interior/architecture shoot in downtown Charleston will ALWAYS be a challenge!

But I love a good challenge. It’s what makes my job fun and interesting. Plus I love working with the amazing and innovative folks at Solaris Inc. So it was with great pleasure that I spent a day at this beautiful home on King Street last week. 🙂

Justin was the best man in Erin & Jay’s wedding a couple years ago. What an honor to get a call from Catie & Justin after they got engaged, letting me know how much they loved their friends’ wedding photos, and asking if I would photograph THEIR special day!!! 🙂

I’ve been looking forward to it for some time. But yesterday, in spite of several hiccups, we finally got together to photograph their Engagement Session. Catie & Justin turned out to be the highlight of my week!!!

My friend and amazing photographer, Tim, had granted us access to the gorgeous Runnymede Plantation. The weather was perfect and the light was amazing! But most of all, Catie & Justin shared an unbelievable chemistry that made it impossible for me to make a bad image!!!

CONGRATULATIONS you guys! I can’t wait to capture all the fun and excitement of your Big Day…

The wonderful folks at Lee & Associates just moved into their NEW office space!!! They are one of my favorite corporate clients ever. Since it was time to do their annual team photo for their holiday card, I also had the pleasure of touring their new “home” while I was there! 🙂

This weekend I had an exciting shoot with Danielle, Jordan, and their two adorable girls at Boone Hall Plantation!

Danielle and I have known each other through our mutual friend, Diane, for quite some time. So it was a real honor to finally get a chance to do our first photo shoot together! As luck would have it, this was also the weekend of the civil war reenactment…which made it extra special.

We had a beautiful morning, in a beautiful venue, and came away with some beautiful images!!!

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing one of my favorite clients.

Julie has a passion for designing and sewing these stunning couture outfits! She’s been asked for an interview in a puplication about her designs. So we did a little mini-shoot of her wearing a couple of her favorite pieces to go along with the article.

Congratulations, Julie! It’s an honor well deserved!!!

Last weekend may have been cold and dreary outside…but it was HOT and SPICEY for Eliza & Andrew as they tied the knot at Summerall Chapel!!! 🙂

Their beautiful celebration started out at The Mills House for the ladies, and Gents Barber Spa for the gentleman. After all the preparations, Eliza & Andrew did their “First Glance” on the historic cobblestone-covered Chalmers St. Wedding party photos ensued at Washington Park, followed by family photos back at The Mills House.

From there, it was a fun trolley ride to The Citadel, where Eliza & Andrew said “I Do”. A graduate of The Citadel, and with all his groomsemen from the military college, this was a very fitting venue for the momentous occasion!

From there, it was off to the PARTAAAY at The Historic Rice Mill. With wonderful toasts, incredible food, beautiful decorations, good friends, and amazing tunes by Two Three Ways Band…a grand time was had by all!

CONGRATULATIONS Eliza & Andrew!!! We wish all the best for you as you begin your new journey together…

Chrissy is a dear friend, and one of our favorite Second-Shooters! She has helped me capture a LOT of beautiful mements over the years. Now it’s time for HER to have a beautiful moment!!!

Chrissy & Matt are due in about a month. So we met up downtown to do a few fun shots of them before going out to dinner. Congratulations Chrissy & Matt!!! 🙂

Last week I had the honor and pleasure of photographing Kristen & William’s GORGEOUS wedding at the picturesque Daniel Island Club! As one of my optometrists, I’ve known Kristen for a few years now. I was SO EXCITED when I found out her and William were getting married. And I was EVEN MORE EXCITED when she asked me to be their photographer! 🙂 Their wedding day was absolutely gorgeous. The dramatic views and flowering sweetgrass made for the perfect, romantic setting for their Big Day. Kristen was absolutely stunning in her gown, with her radians smile lighting up the atmosphere. William was as calm, collected, and handsome as James Bond. We all had a BLAST!!! CONGRATULATIONS Kristen & William! Your beautiful new “together” journey has begun…

A couple weeks ago, Cami & I decided to have an adventure, and ride the train up to Washington D.C. with her parents for a long weekend. Amtrak has come a long way…fun and courteous attendants, roomy seats, nice diner car, A/C outlets at every seat, and free Wi-Fi!!!

To add to the fun, we stayed with a friend of mine that I grew up with in the Congo (DRC). Like mine, his parents were missionaries too. He and his wife Machelle have a beautiful home, and were wonderful hosts. Plus, their beautiful and witty daugher, Maya, modeled in an impromptu shoot for me!

Weather was pretty dreary most of the weekend. But we had a BLAST hiking all over The National Mall and taking in the sights. It truly is an awe-inspiring place, and one we hope to get back to. Here are a few shots from our Amtrak Adventure…

I’ve been photographing Grace since she was knee high to a grasshopper. It’s been so much fun watching her blossom into the beautiful little girl she’s become…full curiousity and wonder…wrapped in love by her amazing parents!

I absolutely LOVE the Tamsbergs! Chris & Carrie are such kind and caring people…the sort of folks who accept you for who you are and leave you wishing you could spend more time with them.

Earlier this week I got to photograph another family session for them. It’s been such a blessing to watch their family grow. Their kids are so adorable…with giggles and smiles that put pure joy in your heart!

Here are a few shots from our downtown “Charleston Charm” family portrait session…
