Welcome to my blog So this is a place I will probably rant and rave, wear my heart on my sleeve, gush on my family, and most importantly share my art...the photo stories of wonderful couples and people I cross paths with.   Don't be afraid to bookmark it, or leave a comment.  I love hearing from everyone and anyone.  Check back frequently...I will try to keep you updated.

Christina is originally from South Carolina and moved to England over a decade ago.  She actually worked for Jon while living abroad.  Well as fate has it they ended up falling in love after many pay checks and crazy events that life brought their way.  They joined 2 lovely families and now Christian's girls will have a brother!!!  There is nothing cuter than talking to little blonde girls with British accents...I am smitten ;)

So this is probably my favorite bridal session of all time...I love every session, but Emily and I had a vision and I loved seeing it come to fruition.  She and I have been emailing back and forth forever..since her engagement session last summer at the fair.  She does about as much research as I do and kept sending me inspiration for what she had in mind for her bsesh. 
We had planned on doing something outside...something beautiful and vintage inspired.  Well like any good session, this was one rained out.  I had planned ahead and had asked a wonderful local wedding professional for the use of his glorious space.  This is a new venue that can be rented for parties, receptions, art showing...etc... Did I mention receptions.  If I were getting married, this would be a 1st choice for me.  High ceilings, lovely facilities (bathrooms), beautiful wood floors, exposed bricks, huuuuge windows...need I say more?  Call Richard now to book your date!
Emily's makeup was done by the fabulous Kristin.  Please get on it and book her if you want a glamorously gorgeous face (with a natural feel) for your wedding day and bridal session.
The space and Emily were my muse...I loved every second with her, her awesome mom, and wonderfully hilarious and sassy bridesmaids.  It takes a village, but once you have them, wonderfully beautiful things can happen...Here she is!

Holy cow! These images are amazing. I keep telling people that when I meet Mrs Right I'm flying you in to take our pictures. Also, I refer friends to your site when they want to know what an excellent wedding photographer's images look like. Need an assistant to carry your bags and act as second shooter?

I met Jamie for coffee a few months ago.  I was drawn to her southern charm and beautiful smile right away.  I was really excited when she chose to hire me, and even more excited when she and her husband- to- be chose to see each other before the ceremony!!!  It isn't for everybody, but it has tons of perks and I will explain more when I post her wedding images.  Here are some of Jamie's bridal session images...on posting...I am so behind ;)
