Haley & Lee Engagement

Recently, I shot an engagement session with our friends Haley & Lee. Their wedding will take place at St. Thomas Preservation Hall this October. It was cool to see what a great friendship they have as a basis for their marriage.

Enjoy the slide show!

Neil Diamond Night

Yes! Neil Diamond Night on American Idol!

OK...I was subjected to a ton of Neil Diamond growing up and it kind of stuck. Come on Cracklin' Rosie!

A few more pics from Charleston

The first is the Cooper River Bridge from this evening.

And these two are of the Angel Oak.

Reservations

So we pulled into the Sleep Inn Suites last night. Which looked pretty nice. Except that I made reservations at the Quality Inn Suites. Down the road.

Luckily, I realized this in the parking lot and headed to the correct hotel. Donna looked at me funny. I wonder if she noticed.

She's got legs

So we're in Charleston for the weekend. And the hotel's ISP is letting me receive emails but not send them. Nice. And I'm to the point of delirium so I'm about to go to bed for some much needed rest.

But I wanted to share this shot I took on the way down here. Sometimes it's just this random...

Gates Four Country Club

My friend Lee Pridgen asked me to 2nd shoot with him this past Saturday. Here is an image from the wedding at the Gates Four Country Club in Fayetteville, NC.

More Photobooth, Part 2

A few more images from Friday...

Happy Birthday Mark!

Tonight we celebrated Mark's Birthday which included a roast, a model runway, and a photo booth. Below is one of the pics from the booth. More to come...

Dinner & Fireworks

Smalltown, USA. That was pretty much the awesome feeling Saturday night. The pot-luck dinner brought a homey feeling as did the ice cream sandwiched between fresh oven-baked chocolate chip cookies. Afterwards, we walked down two blocks to the boardwalk to watch the fireworks. Yep, Smalltown, USA. Pretty cool. And thanks to Brian, I'll never think of peanut butter in the same light again.

Friday Night With Sadie

Last Friday night, Donna and I had dinner and a photo shoot with Jeremy, Sarah, and little Sadie.. Our friends have had a busy week adjusting to the 3rd member of their household and it was nice to catch up. Sadie's not quite into Buffalo Wild Wings just yet but I'm sure she will be if Jeremy has anything to do with it. We also had dessert at this little ice cream shop called 'Flavors'. 'Flavors' was sporting their new juke box and Sadie was introduced to some Van Halen courtesy of her very own paparazzi. Afterwards, we went back to their place where I was able to hold Sadie for a good bit...probably 30 minutes or so. Then she started wiggling which I'm told means that she's hungry or that she's about to explode. Well...she wasn't hungry. Oh well, such is the life of a photog. Enjoy the photos!

Bridal at Landfall's Temple Gardens

Here is a shot from a recent bridal session at Landfall's Temple Gardens. More bridal pics to come once the groom has seen his bride!

Arrival of a new friend

Sarah & Jeremy Beakes had their little girl Sadie this past Saturday. You may remember their maternity pics from February. They are dear friends of ours and Donna and I are so happy to see this new chapter of their life begin. Sadie is a precious baby and we look forward to seeing her grow up. Here are some pics taken a few hours after her birth.
