Jenny and Christopher are married!! 11-22-08

Jenny and Christopher were so much fun to shoot!  This wedding was located in Shelby, NC, at the church were Jenny grew up attending.  I met Jenny about two years ago in Grad School,  and I also had the privilege of shooting hers and Christopher's engagement pictures about six months ago.

I think this is the first time ever that all the wedding parties were on time for the shoots and I actually finished with the before pictures ahead of schedule (that never happens).  The wedding was beautiful, and everything went smoothly.  We finished the night at the local country club partying and dancing the night away.  

I think this is my favorite picture, they choose to not see each other before the ceremony, but I had them each stand on one side of the wall and hold hands, only I saw them together.

This guy was the entertainment of the shoot, I caught him here leaping off the stage.


Christopher could not decide on what pair of shoes to wear....

Glacier National Park!

This was an unforgettable family vacation!!  We flew into Kalispell, Montana and drove through Glacier National Park and all the way into Canada, where we stopped at Banff and Calgary.  This was my first visit to this part of the country, and it was absolutely amazing.  We pretty much had great weather the entire trip and the sites were breath-taking.  For me personally I had a rough moment, my dad, brother and I went on a very difficult hike where I broke my lens and hurt my knee really badly.  So the rest of the trip I had to figure out ways to take pictures with a lens that didn't work.  Luckily it happened on the next to last day.  Here are some pictures from the trip:

Scott and Lindsay are engaged 10-19-08

Scott and Lindsay were such a fun couple to photograph.  I've worked with Scott for 2 years at my current job at Fairway Outdoor, and I've met Lindsay on several occasions, so this was more of a hangout with me taking pictures the whole time.  They are just the cutest couple, laughing with each other and not afraid to show the world how much they love each other, even in front of a co-worker. 

 

This shoot was located in Athens on the UGA campus at north campus.  Both Scott and Lindsay are huge UGA fans, which I don't hold against them, and so this location was a no-brainer for them.  We basically got out and walked around, taking pictures just about anywhere around campus.  Here is a small sample:

Eric & Callie are engaged!! 10-12-08

I met Eric and Callie at the beautiful Staghorn Chapel located just north above Athens. I had a lot of fun with this couple, the excitement towards their upcoming wedding is really showing on their faces. I've had the pleasure of knowing Eric since childhood, we grew up attending church together, so the shoot was a little reunion in itself, but also a great opportunity for me to get to know Callie.

We had a lot of fun at the shoot, we really covered the grounds, I let them be very natural while I just circled around capturing their personalities. We ended the Sunday afternoon with a picnic and some great cookies!!

Congrats you two, I really look forward to your wedding in December!!

Amy & Brad are married!! 10-4-08

This was such a beautiful destination wedding, located in Destin, FL. I could not have asked for better weather or a better couple to work with. Amy and Brad were just full of excitement, from the rehearsal dinner, which was amazing, to the ceremony, and then to one of the craziest receptions I've ever been to. Congratulation and good luck with your marriage!!

Below is a walk through the wedding day: we started with a car ride to a remote beach where we captured some great beach and ocean pictures. The ceremony was back-dropped by the ocean and finished with a beautiful sunset. And just a short walk from the ceremony, was the reception, filled with dancing, chair lifting, and just all around great times.
