A NEW DECADE ARRIVES!

Welcome to 2010!!! The last twelve months of the first decade of the new millennium were a wild ride for Cami & I. We are SO BLESSED to be able to do what we truly love for a living, expressing our passion for life, laughter, and photography in so many creative ways. We owe a HUGE THANK YOU to all our wonderful clients, colleagues, friends, and family. We are honored to be counted among your acquaintances. And we look forward to continuing this Beautiful Journey throughout the New Year!!!

Back to Bolongo Bay

Cami & I are heading back to Bolongo Bay Resort in St. Thomas, USVI. After photographing Julia & Erik’s FABULOUS Destination Wedding there, we were hired by the resort to fly back and photograph images for their new website and marketing material. How cold we say no?!? We’ll have access to email and cell phone. But we’ll be working hard…and PLAYING hard when not working. So please forgive us if it takes a little longer than usual to get back to you this week.

Last Shoot of the Year

I’ve been photographing Jean & Gerry’s extended family over the last six years. (Many thanks to their wonderful daughter, Andrea…she originally contacted me and began this longtime friendship.) It was only fitting that they were my last shoot of 2009! J I met up with them at their beach house on Folly Beach. Even though it was really cold that night, they all braved the uncomfortable temperatures and we all had a BLAST! The lighting was fantastic…everything from a really cool sunset to a really dramatic moonrise. I LOVE IT!!!

Jody & Gerald are Engaged!

I truly enjoyed hanging out with Jody & Gerald during their Engagement Shoot. I photographed Jody’s sister’s wedding a few years ago. So it’s been a real treat reuniting ties with her family and getting to know her better, and see what a beautiful young lady she’s become. I knew Gerald & I were going to hit it off as soon as I met him with his famous baseball cap. If he could wear that thing at the wedding, he probably would. J He’s so laid back, easy going, and fun to be around. I’m SO EXCITED about being their wedding photographer!!!

NASA Does Nikon

NASA just ordered 11 new Nikon D3 bodies as well as several 14-24mm f2.8 lenses. The new gear will be used to document the daily life within the program and on the space station. They join the D2x bodies and a plethora of Nikkor lenses and accessories already in use.
Since I primarily use D3 and D2x bodies with a lineup of all Nikkor lenses, I think I’m in good shape. 🙂

Holly & Joseph at Mt. Pleasant Presbyterian

I have to send out a HUGE thank you to my good friend and fellow photographer, Richard Middleton, for referring Holly & Joseph to me. They were so much fun to work with!!! Our quirky personalities, love of a good laugh, and appreciation for classic rock matched up perfectly! 🙂

Holly & Joseph were married at the gorgeous Mt. Pleasant Presbyterian church. I LOVE shooting here. The ceremony was beautiful, especially with the sanctuary all decorated for the holidays. Their reception was at Alhambra Hall…one of my favorite reception venues. As always, Frankie did a beautiful job with the floral arrangements. And DJ Doug kept the party rockin’.

After watching the Music Video, click here to check out the rest of their wedding photos.

CONGRATULATIONS Holly & Joseph! You guys were AWESOME!!! Keep the flame alive…

Adrienne & Corey at Dunes West

I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Adrienne & Corey over the last year. They are such a neat couple and SO photogenic!

Last week they tied the knot at Dunes West. It’s such a beautiful venue with a great staff! My good friend and fellow photographer Kate McKinley was shooting with me that day. We had just enough time to photograph Corey and Adrienne’s “First Glance” as well as portraits of the two of them around the grounds before the rain came. Hey, that’s supposed to be good luck for them, right? 🙂 Doug Farmer, my favorite officiate in town, united them. Eddie L from ProWedding Entertainment, my favorite DJ in town, rocked the reception. And Corey’s Mom made the cake!!!

Enjoy the slideshow at the bottom of the post. Then Click Here to see the rest of their images. CONGRATULATIONS Adrienne & Corey!!!


The Boone Hall Kids

Photographing Greg & Elizabeth’s kids is always such a pleasure. They are so well behaved, love the camera, and actually LISTEN to me! 🙂 I met up with them at Boone Hall Plantation the other day and we just had a great time…going all over and getting tons of different looks. GOOD LUCK narrowing down your favorites, Elizabeth!!! Hehehe!
