Carly & Caleb Lincolnton GA Wedding

admin — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 05:23:57 +0000

Check out Carly and Caleb’s wedding. I’m not sure if I mentioned in the bridal photos that I was attacked by a goose while shooting. Lost three fingers in the accident! Carly informed me that Mr. Goose was eaten by a coyote a while back. I really didn’t care too much for the goose at the time but now I do feel a little sorry for the animal. All jokes aside, Carly had a beautiful wedding. I really enjoyed getting to know their families. They were incredible people that put on a really nice wedding. It was definitely the biggest wedding I’ve ever shot. They filled up all the seats and there was still about 200 people waiting in line. The wedding had a little of everything including a classic truck. I’m always a sucker for vintage cars!

So this blog entry has been sitting in my draft folder for a while now. I was actually going to blog about what I had been up to recently but it never quite happened. This shot was of me camping on my grandfather’s property during the fall of last year. I was actually photographing the stars when i got this by accident. I never really slept much that night. I just kept thinking about my grandfather Ernest and his brother Hasty farming that land year after year while raising my mother and all her sisters. About two weeks ago I had a canvas printed of my grandfather’s tractor that I took several years ago as I was getting into photography. Just figured I’d share….

Boone Hall Plantation SC Wedding

admin — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 06:14:37 +0000

Here’s a wedding from the spring from the historic Boone Hall Plantation in Charleston, SC. You might remember Megan & Breck from their engagement or maybe her bridal session. These guys are actually moving to Texas soon, which is really a bummer. I really enjoyed getting to know them and everyone that I have met through them. Breck also has some of the coolest man toys on the planet. I expect a big going away party and an invitation!

Carly Bridal

admin — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 07:47:46 +0000

I’ve done a really terrible job at blogging lately. I blame the busy spring for me getting behind. I’ve shot a lot of weddings in 4 different states that I can’t wait to share. I spent most of my August away freshening up for a fun and cooler second half of the year. Please check back shortly to be mindblown with some incredible new work! That is a promise! Here’s Carly’s bridal that has been sitting in my publish folder for the past two months. We were actually attacked by the goose in the photos. Totally worth it for the amazing places we were able to shoot!

Here’s a shot from my Iphone on my return trip home….

Chinqua Penn Plantation

admin — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 03:57:32 +0000

My wedding this past weekend was about 4 hours away on the Virginia and North Carolina state line. Julie and Wayne lived in Alabama when I met them and and have recently moved to Tennessee. It wasn’t until I got to the rehearsal on Friday that I found out Julie’s dad had passed away about 6 years before. One of the first things that grabbed my attention was this amazing 54 Chevy Bel Air.

Julie had received the Bel Air for her 16th birthday from her dad. Wayne and his dad had spent the last 4 months remodeling the car getting it ready for the wedding. It was a nice addition to the already spectacular venue Cinqua Penn Plantation. I had to get my camera almost immediately so I could take a few shots of this special story. This blog post is dedicated to Julie’s father Mr. Bill Alexander!

I told Julie I would blog these images in the hotel on friday night since I wouldn’t have anything to do. When I got back I realized I didn’t bring my memory card reader. It’s not usually something I need on the road. I haven’t quite made it home yet since I stopped by my parent’s house on the way back. I figured I would include a few images from the wedding since I missed my deadline last night. That’s Julie’s brother driving her up and walking her down the isle. Happy Father’s Day!

Kristin at Lowndes Grove

admin — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 04:03:32 +0000

A few weeks before Kristin’s wedding we had her bridal session at the historic Lowndes Grove Plantation in Charleston. The house is pretty amazing. It sits along the bank of the Ashley River and as far as I know it’s the only plantation home on the main peninsula. There’s a lot of rich history that dates back to the Revolutionary War. Patrick Properties did a good job renovating the house a few years ago. It’s really an outstanding venue.

Even more breathtaking was Kristin and her dress from Ulla-Maija. It’s definitely one of my favorite dresses. I’m not ashamed to say I’m big on the dress, the engagement ring, and the hair. I can’t put photography in the argument since my opinion is a little biased.

Check back soon for photos from Kristin and Jason’s wedding and reception that was at this same location.

Annie & Robert Columbia Engagement

Here is Annie and Robert’s engagement session. I’ve been playing catch up since I got back into town from the weekend. You will probably see another blog very soon…maybe even today!

Brittany and Joe’s Savannah Engagement

admin — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 20:26:25 +0000

I met these guys down in Savannah last month for an engagement shoot. We got to know each other better and they also took me out for some pizza at one of my favorite pizza joints ‘Mellow Mushroom’. Joe is actually a commercial photographer/IT guy so we bored Brittany the entire evening with camera/computer jargon.

These guys will be getting married on a private plantation later this year so I’m pretty excited about that. I can’t wait for the cooler weather!

Check out their rocking photos below!

Cooper Family Portrait Session

admin — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 08:01:30 +0000

I’ve blogged these guys a handful of times and figured I’d share this ‘at the Cooper’s House’ family session. Anna and Gabe are really good kids. I use to say the best kids are your nieces and nephews but these rank right up there! It was the first time I had been to their house for a photo session. It was a bit overwhelming seeing my framed artwork in action all over the house!

These guys were like please please please come outside!!

We tried to get the family cat in on some shots. After this brief appearance the cat disappeared!

This took an act of congress to get. Poodles have an uncanny amount of energy by the way! They were everywhere!

Up in the tree house. One of my favorites of the day.

I got up in the tree house too!

Finished up with a snack in the kitchen! Thanks for the cupcake guys!

Crystal and Andy

If these 80+ photos from Andy and Crystal’s wedding aren’t enough for you then check the bottom of the page and you can see all the photos from the wedding in a video.

These guys were incredibly nice to me. Andy invited me to the rehearsal dinner so I got to meet everyone before the wedding. The wedding went smoothly as you can tell. Thanks to Joy at A Joyful Occasion for coordinating a great event.

Today is Andy’s birthday and everyone is out celebrating so I’m gonna go live with the post right now.
