Stop. Blog. Go.

We have many sessions in progress right now and we wanted to share a glimpse from our bridal session with Addie. We met at the La Bastide Country Inn (what an awesome place. Surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, great food, beautiful rooms and accommodating staff. Check them out here.)

Our bride... Addie. This girl is a natural in front of the camera. She started the session off saying.." I don't do well with pictures by myself." By the end, she had us ALL (her mother included) convinced that she should take up a career as a model! Many more gorgeous shots to come after the wedding, but here's the glimpse...



We would love to see your feedback! Comment below.

Elisabeth, Matt and William Self Family session...

This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting the Self's. Still working on the pictures as there are so many great ones! The below photo strip is of William. He loved the camera... No really, he wanted my cameras! (can't say I blame him... I think they look pretty cool also.) Seriously, he was a natural. Stay tuned. More to come...

Emily & Michael Bobbitt's Wedding

Congratulations to Emily and Michael! They were married this past Saturday, April 4th. They were married at Manigault's La Vielle Maison in the west end neighborhood of Greenville SC. It was truly an awesome celebration with great food, wonderful people, and a live band that rocked the free world. Here are some of the shots from the evening...




Rob was one of the groomsmen at the wedding and while we were doing the groomsmen pictures he says to me, (jokingly) "That wood pile over there would make a great background for pictures!" I laughed and replied."Heck yeah man! Go get on it!" Surprised, he happily obliged. This was the result... Good stuff.










The bride and groom are announced, and we went old school with it.


This shot is why I love what I do. It was totally an accident. This happens from time to time. You spend all this time composing shots through the view finder, making sure that everything is framed right, and that the exposure and lighting are correct and then sometimes you just truly get "lucky". This was when Emily and Michael were announced. Emily's father was standing behind them and when I snapped this, I didn't realize what I had captured. This is one of those "true" moments. I almost feel as if I shouldn't be seeing this. It is so revealing of how Emily's father must be feeling on the day he sees his daughter off. The look on his face is... well, "priceless".




When we saw this picture(in our heads) the moon was in perfect position. By the time Emily and Michael got up there, the moon was covered in clouds...They were so accommodating by waiting for the moon to get in position. We were standing on the ground yelling... "wait for it...wait for it..OK! Now KISS!"








These guys really did rock it out. The range of music they played was so dynamic and so good.




Leaving in style. Congrats once again you guys, and thank you for letting us share this awesome moment in your life with you.

Emily's Bridal..

Yeah.. We are sooo excited to finally get to share a few of our favorite shots from Emily's bridal session.. Emily and Michael were married this past weekend, so we will have pictures from their wedding posted soon. It rocked!

We shot Emily's bridal back in February at one her friend's beautiful house.. It was so neat because she lives about 5 minutes from us in a neighborhood I absolutely love!! The day was gorgeous and as always we had a fantastic time with Emily. She has such a great sense of humor and we have thoroughly enjoyed getting to work with her!!

Hope you enjoy!
