I was very grateful when Heather called me to photograph Jack, Ted and Her. I went to school with Ted way back when and Heather is connected with several brides i’ve photographed in the past. It was blast seeing them again,,, with a baby! It seemed like it was just yesterday when they got married. It was indeed entertaining to see Jack pee on Ted. I get peed on a lot during the newborn sessions, so secretly i was glad it didn’t happen to me this time 
Sorry Papa Ted!
a couple of birth announcements i was playing with,,,
much love,

Mandi and Josh’s wedding are one of the most laid-back, carefree weddings i’ve ever been to in a while. Everyone was just so happy to be there to celebrate Mandi and Josh’s wedding.
Mandi and Josh’s love and connection was very visible throughout the day. I love it when my couples are very comfortable holding, embracing each other. It just shows a lot about their relationship and it just makes great images when the embraces and the kisses are for real.
I love the fact that we were able to get in to the College of Charleston’s basketball arena. This wedding was a few days away when the basketball team defeated top 25 team UNC Chapel Hill. So it was pretty exciting that we got to do some portraits of Mandi and Josh at a location that mean a lot to them and their lives.

Last fall, at Boone Hall, i was invited by Jerri and Lisa of Ooh Events to shoot some of their table top arrangements that will be featured on tv (hopefully, fingers crossed).
Lisa and her team at Ooh Events are very talented and very creative. I love everything they do at each event.
Here are some photos:

It brings me great joy when previous wedding clients come back to me get their maternity portraits taken. It reinforces my philosophy of not just wanting to be “people’s wedding photographer,” but instead “their family photographer.” It is such an honor to be able to help them build a family legacy.
Leigh Ann and Ross married in the summer of 2007. They have always had this strong bond and connection, which i love. Ross is so good to Leigh Ann. It is so great to see that. Leigh, with the contagious laughter and energy, i always enjoy talking to. It was so good to see the two of them.
’til next time,,, much love,
Virgil
For the whole hour and a half of the e-session, i didn’t stop laughing. I’m surprised i got some intimate shots of John and Stephanie. I feel like every pictures was of them acting like goof balls. These two are so much fun to work with. I cannot wait until John and Stephanie gets married. It is going to be the bomb. In Stephanie’s words, “the wedding is going to be bitchin’!”
i skipped a day (or two) from blogging. We were too mesmerized with the snow that we got here in Charleston. I know it’s no big deal, but it’s been 10 years since it snowed here so i thought that was pretty cool. More pictures on that coming up soon. And i even shot a few high def clips. Stay tuned!

I worked with Anton of Lorimerworks back in April to document Kristin and Andrius’ wedding in Myrtle Beach. He is a cinematographer based out of San Francisco. I would like to share to you how amazing his work is. He is really really really good. Probably one of the best out there that i’ve ever seen.
Here’s the trailer:

One of many “unblogged” images, a newborn i photographed in the fall.
Here’s Micah and his parents, Lana, who i went to Clemson with, and Mike, the baby daddy
i just got scolded for not posting much on the blog and was told to post at least once a week. Sorry folks, if you were an avid follower, yes, i have been slacked and been too focused on other things,,, i’ll tell you more about them later.
So, to make up, i am posting once a day, for a week. Don’t hold your breath

ps,,, you know what,,, nothing motivates me more to post stuff here than a lot of comments from you,,, even just a quick, “hello, Virgil. We like you.”
I’ve been shooting a number of pregnancy sessions in the studio lately. I think they are really really cool and illustrates how beautiful (and powerful) women are. The post yesterday is a collection of 14 images in one 30×30 canvas. Jennifer and Jerol wanted to display it in the baby’s room. I thought that was really awesome!
I just think this is a rockin’ image! Right when they smiled naturally and honestly, i clicked the shutter. Right on the money!
20 years from now, hopefully, they’ll look back on these images and bring back memories.
