Emily & Justice’s Jekyll Island Wedding

Friday, May 25, 2012 Posted inWedding

I had a great time shooting this wedding. Emily & Justice were a real treat. I LOVE marriage. The love that my wife and I have is very special. I think the way we look at each other is less than common these days. I saw Emily and Justice looking at each other that same way. There were times that I’m not even sure they remembered that all their guests were even there. It seemed like they were lost in their own world when they were looking at each other. They had me smiling the whole night. Here’s some highlights from the night. Enjoy!

Emily & Justice Sneak Peek

Tuesday, May 8, 2012 Posted inWedding

I had a great time shooting Emily & Justice’s wedding on Jekyll Island, Gorgia at the Beachview Club. It was the night of the “Super Moon”. The biggest moon of 2012, however, it wasn’t going to be at it’s biggest until long after the reception was over. But I did get a few shots of it. I hope you enjoy this sneak peek.

Sam & David’s Ocean Breeze Wedding at Mayport

Tuesday, May 8, 2012 Posted inWedding

Let me start by saying that it was an honor to photograph Sam & David’s wedding. Both Sam and David serve and protect our great country in the United States Navy. Thank you Sam and David! The wedding and reception took place at the Ocean Breeze on the Mayport Naval base. It was a gorgeous day with an amazing breeze. The venue has the big porch on the back overlooking the Atlantic Ocean with big comfy couches. It was a little slice of Heaven. We had a lot of fun. Congrats Sam & David!

Virginia & Randall’s St. Augustine Destination Beach Wedding

Tuesday, May 1, 2012 Posted inUncategorized

Virginia and Randall’s St. Augustine wedding was a true international affair. Randall was born in the United States, but has live for quite a while in Munich, Germany. Virginia is from France and lived in Paris. Their friends are from all over the place. This was very much a destination wedding. The VERY windy ceremony was on the beach in Anastasia State Park. After the ceremony, we wondered around St. Augustine a bit for some portraits and then headed back to Loft at The White Room for their reception. It was a really beautiful evening and Randall and Virginia were a lot of fun to be around. After dinner, I notice a bit of a commotion. People looked like they were plotting. Then, I see wigs and props start to appear. It was time for The Time Warp! That was a lot of fun!

Nice work! Good on you for holding onto your camera(s) in all that wind during the ceremony. Hope the blowing sand didn’t do a number on your lens(es).

Taylor’s Senior Prom

Saturday, April 28, 2012 Posted inPortraits

Yeah… I have the prettiest neighbors! Tonight is Taylor’s Senior Prom, so her mom asked me if I could take a few photos of her and her friends. So we had a quick session in my front yard. They all looked gorgeous!

We also grabbed a few shots of Taylor’s little sister, Madison, to send to her modeling agency. I really need to do some shoots with Madison. I mean… seriously… a photographer living across the street from a model. I need to take advantage of this situation while she’s still living at home!
