Michelle and Ryan were such a blast to work with. They are both kind, genuine and always mindful and thoughtful of other people. Their friends and families were a treat to meet and party with.  We were honored to be a part of this wonderful celebration.

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. Just sayin,!

Ron took a photograph of me taking photographs of the boys.

LOVE these series! I so appreciate Michelle and Ryan for giving me the time to run away with them for a brief moment before the reception started. It’s all worth it in the end

Hey all,

I, along with a couple of friends are teaching a number of classes this summer and fall. I love teaching. I love sharing my knowledge to those who are willing to listen with an open mind and an open heart. Click the “Pages” link up top to find out what classes my friends and I are offering.

It was a wedding full of magic, love, connection, and emotion. I’ve been looking forward to Heidi and Anthony since the day they commissioned me to be their photographer. I loved every minute of my experience with these two whether it’d be just a phone call, or a facebook message exchange. Heidi and Anthony are kind, sweet and genuine people who care about other people. Every fiber of my body was touched by what i have witnessed during this celebration. I am very grateful that we got to be a part of it.

I just 

I just LOVE Heidi’s expression here. LOVE the engravings too on Anthony’s ring.

Yup, it takes that many to help a bride put on a dress. Every bride needs her support group.

Hattie’s shot this. LOVe it.

Another shot by Hattie. She went to town with my Canon 300mm 2.8L

A clever shot by Hattie from behind, while i take pictures of the couple from the front.

LOVE the light in this series. So delicious!

This was at the 17th Island Hole. I am so glad we were able to get on there. I feel sorry for the golfers who had to wait. But you can’t really get mad at a woman wearing THE white dress. It’s her day.

And another shot by Hattie. Love the angle and the composition on this. To the left of this picture, do you see my arm?

Thank you for looking.

We enjoyed every minute of this carefree wedding. Katie and Sean’s connection is just phenomenal. I really enjoyed and loved taking photographs of them.

Here are some kick-ass images we captured that day.

None of these images would have been possible without the help of wedding planning extraordinaire, Stacey Fraunfelter of Red Letter Events.

Kristi and Ziga’s wedding was one of those weddings where shots after shots, stories after stories were unfolding before my very eyes. I didn’t have to look for them.  Things just kept popping up in front of me and all i had to do was to point and shoot. The light was gorgeous everywhere i went. Kristi and Ziga and company were a DELIGHT to work with. Positive energy were all over the place. And we loved it. Sometimes, in events like these, i just stand back and take a second and ask myself, “i do this for a living? i actually get compensated to shoot beautiful images that’s already there and make a living doing it and have a blast at the same time? How blessed am i?”

Anyhoo, the beautiful images would not have materialized without the expertise of the megastar wedding planner, decorator and bride whisperer Stacey Fraunfelter of Red Letter Events. Such an amazing, hard working, detail-oriented person to work with.  Love her!

So in closing, Dr. Kristi Norris is one awesome bride. Dr. Ziga Cizma is one great guy. Both, i had the absolute pressure to meet, and got to know. I wish they lived closer.

I will now stop chatting, and let the images tell their stories.

Here’s me, trying to get some shots of the father of the bride, minutes before the ceremony starts.

Here’s me again, going for the shot and trying to be less obtrusive, (thanks Ron!).

So lovely.

just gorgeous light.  LOVIN’ IT!

Best man was trying to “drop it like it’s hot”.

If I were given the opportunity to thank anyone for this recognition, i thank my amazing clients who trust me (and my team) and for being as committed as i am (if not more) in capturing some great images of their wedding day. I would also like to thank my assistants that worked with me to cover these weddings, Ron Montgomery and Hattie Coryell. They give me a lot of room and a lot of help and support to make it possible for me “to play” and nail the shots i envisioned. So thank you Ron and Hattie!

So stay tuned,,,

Congratulations Francesca!

If you’re a rising senior, it’s that time to start thinking about your high school senior portraits. Our senior portrait season will be in full swing in June. We are only taking a very limited number of sessions this year due to a very busy wedding year. If you want something different, chic, unique, and all about you and not like anyone else’s,  call soon to set up an appointment.

This is a photograph of Chelsea. She is Univ. of South Carolina bound come August.

The rests will be posted soon.

Thanks Ron for getting the shot of Elizabeth’s mom crying during the ceremony. Thank you Brandy for getting my balcony shots. You two rocked it!

Hello beautiful people. Recently, we documented a book release/75th birthday party for Norma Moretz Horvitz at the private home of Alysa and Wayne Gregory. It was a blast. The weather was just perfect. The food and decor and band was just fantastic! We had the best of wedding vendors there, i tell ya.

The party was definitely special! We even had Burke High School Band show up and play for a little bit. When i turn 75 (although that’s quite a ways from now) i am definitely going to have a party like this!

than you for stopping by.
