valerie + adam | married
Ron and I were very blessed to travel to Augusta, GA , new year’s day to shoot Valerie and Adam’s wedding the next day. It was fu-rheezing! However, Valerie and Adam are two really sweet people that we had the opportunity to work with. They were very relaxed, very laid back and Val, what a good sport Val was, weathering the cold weather to capture some beautiful portraits in downtown Augusta.
I loved every minute of my time with them. And their friends. And their family. We definitely felt very welcomed to be there.
It was a crazy fun wedding with lots of dancing and partying. We didn’t want to leave.
Val and Adam- thank you for allowing me get a glimpse of your beautiful life and family and friends. I wish you the very best as you begin your life in London.

heidi and anthony | e-sesh
2010 is going to be an awesome year. Heidi and Anthony tie the knot in May and i cannot wait to see what we will come up with.
For the e-session, i suggested just to go freestyle, lifestyle e-session, documenting what they love to do in their free time. I wanted to come up something that is purely documentary. I wanted to photograph their spirit, their zest, the emotion, the love, the “everything” about their relationship.
So we went boating!
Thanks Anthony and Heid for taking me up on this. You guys rock!
much love,
Virgil

alli + ben | mt. pleasant, sc
C
Ben and Alli worked together for almost two years and didn’t date. They flirted with each other. But they didn’t date. Alli was even unsure whether Ben was flirting back. Until one day, Ben asked her out. On a date. And then the rests is history.
I met Alli in July, or should i say i spoke to her on the phone this summer. Alli is the sweetest person one will ever meet. We hit it off right away. The wedding was a blast. Alli had the best bridesmaids in the world- Janet, Kate, Anne, and Becky. They really made the whole day fun (along with other people too of course).
Check out the images below and don’t forget to click on the slideshow
To Alli and Ben- you guys rock! Thank you for being the coolest people ever, for weathering the cold, for being awesome to work with, for letting me do “my thing”, for your kindness, for allowing us be a part of your special day. I wish you both the best of everything.
Somehow, every wedding, almost, i get conned into taking a shot, or two,,, i don’t normally drink at weddings, but it is not so cool to turn down drinks, especially coming from bridesmaids 
One really cool thing about this wedding also is my friend, and new associate photographer Julie Lowry shot this wedding with me. She did really well. This is one of her shots and she had several on the slideshow.
probably one of my most favorite shots of the night.
For the photo geeks, this was shot at 1/60 sec at f/4.5, ISO 640 at 16mm focal length, using Canon 5D Mark II 16-35 f2.8L. I used a Vivitar 285, set at 1/16th power and placed on the dashboard. Actually, my 2nd shooter Ron was holding it. If you look closer, you’d see him.
I used 2 pocket wizards, one on the flash and one on camera to fire the strobe.
There you go,,, i try to keep things simple, OR NOT 
Another one of Julie’s photo below.

Venue: The Creek Club. This is a really cool place to get married or just have a party. I loooove shooting here.

FREE WORKSHOP
My buddy Chris Smith is coming to our studio to teach a Creative Lighting Workshop on January 25. There are a lot of us out there that could use some sort of hands on training on “lighting” our subjects with a strobe or strobes, setting it/them manual and firing it remotely. Come on out and join us on January 25. If you know a whole lot about lighting already, come out anyway. Hang out, network and talk shop with a bunch of nice and friendly photographers who share the same passion as you.
I am collaborating with Chris and Tammy Bevins and the Professional Photographers of South Carolina and a couple of other vendors that we will recognize very soon.
Please RSVP now. Seats are limited. Email info@cviphotography.com to rsvp. Please.
The workshop is free HOWEVER we are asking all attendees to bring a bag of dog food to donate to the Charleston Animal Society.
Hope to see some familiar faces there.
Tara | Bridal Portrait Session
There were so many “unblogged” sessions in 2009. Tara’s Bridal Portraits are one of them. No excuse here. It is just becoming very difficult to blog “every” single session.
Here are a few of my favorites,,,
much love,

jane + charlie | edisto island
Jane gives the sweetest, most sincere hugs. And she doesn’t let go until you do. A genuine hug says a lot about a person. There are lot of awesome things i could say about Jane, but i am just going to let the pictures tell the story.
To Jane and Charlie, thank you for allowing us be a part of your day. May enjoy and cherish your pictures forever as much as i enjoyed making them . I hope they are worth the wait.
