Super Lawyer Andy Savage

In January I got to do another shoot for one of my favorite editorial clients.  Super Lawyers Magazine asked me to photograph the subject of their next cover, Mr. Andy Savage.  If you live in Charleston, chances are you’ve heard that name.  If there’s a high-profile criminal case going on, he’s probably involved.  Plus his television show, The Savage Report, is a huge success.  I really enjoyed working with Mr. Savage and the folks at Savage & Savage during the photo shoot…what a great group of people!

Acclaimed Guitarist Nikolai Svishev

Check out this “Canon in D Duo” video by acclaimed guitarist Nikolai Svishev.  He’s an amazing artist and always a pleasure to work with.  I’m honored that he chose some of my wedding images to display throughout the video!

Ashley & Sherrod at The Wentworth Mansion

I always LOVE working at The Wentworth Mansion!  The cupola is so cool, the history is so rich, and the people there are always so nice.  So when Ashley & Sherrod told me that’s where he proposed and that’s where they wanted to do their Engagement Session, I was STOKED!!!  We had a blast and got a ton of fun images.  Here are a few of my favorite.  You can see the rest at www.chrisandcami.zenfolio.com

Wireless Lighting Workshop

My good friend and fellow photographer, Matt Daniel, shared these scenes from the Wireless Lighting Workshop earlier this week. Yes, the nice policeman really did ask us to move the vintage limo off the historic brick street. J

Wireless Lighting Workshop

My heart was beating, my head was spinning, everything was happening so fast! Before I knew it, Virgil was introducing me and I was ON!

I’m scared to death of public speaking. But I LOVE what I do and love sharing my passion with others! So after the initial jitters wore off, everything went great. My Wireless Lighting Workshop was held at Virgil’s gorgeous studio at CVI Photography. It was hosted by the Professional Photographer of South Carolina. And it was sponsored by folks like Nikon, RadioPopper, Zenfolio, MPIX, and Canvas On Demand. We had a fantastic turnout with about 40 photographers from around the state, some as far away as Greenville! I did a short presentation about the principles of wireless lighting. Then we went out into the historic alley behind the studio and did a LIVE photo shoot…no pressure there!!! J That was followed by dinner, fellowship, and networking. Finally we reconvened to review the images and have more discussion on tools and techniques. It really was a BLAST!

We couldn’t have pulled it off without the generous contributions of many talented folks. I have to thank Virgil, Eddie of ProWedding Entertainment, Frankie of Flowers by Frankie, Juliet of Juliet Elizabeth Photography, Molly of D’Lish Desserts, Dwight of Royal Limousine, Pamela of Makeup Artist Charleston, and my lovely model and favorite client, Brittany McDougal. The best part about the workshop is we raised a ton of donations, including lots of dog food, to donate to the Charleston Animal Society. Many thanks to everyone who participated and everyone who attended!!!

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!!!

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!

‘Tis the Season

I still remember Anne-Magill & Brad’s wedding like it was YESTERDAY! When they found out little Merritt was on the way, they signed up for our “Welcome To The World” collection. So I’ve had the pleasure of photographing their beautiful girl since she was just a part of Mamma’s belly! 🙂 She’s now 6-months old. Here are a few of my favorites from their Christmas session on their beautiful property.
