Holy Trinity Church Wedding

Jack and Jessica were married this weekend at the Holy Trinity Church in Greenville S.C., this past Saturday. They were a great couple to work for, we had a wonderful time and made some great shots. Congrats to you both and may your life be filled with joy and laughter.

Groom at Holy Trinity


Jack is the lucky guy that married the beautiful Jessica this past weekend. I want to take the chance to wish Jack much luck and love as he prepares to leave for Iraq, now that he has finished Ranger training. Come home safe Jack.

Bride at Holy Trinity


Jessica is a beautiful bride that I photographed this weekend at the Holy Trinity Church in Greenville S.C. this past Sat. There are many wonderful images from the shoot, and it made for a hard decision of what to post.

A Friday Head Shot

This is Amanda, whom I've had the pleasure of knowing for the last 2 years. Amanda recently danced with Carolina Ballet Theater, before taking off to Clemson University. She is a very talented dancer and actress. Amanda approached me about photographing her head shot for an audition for a local production of Cinderella, along with here application to the NYU drama program. I wish her all the best. Go break a leg Amanda.
Head Shots are one of the most complicated images that a photographer can shoot. You have to portray so much, in such a simple image. Ultimately, it all comes down to the subject. If the subject is good, the images are good. And as you can see Amanda makes for a great subject.

A Young Angel

I photographed the Nutcracker production held by the Carolina Ballet Theater in Dec. 2008, and this is one of my favorite images taken from the production. Although dance is very challenging to photograph, it has been such a great learning period for me. It has also inspired me in may artistic ways. I plan to do a series of paintings based on images that I have collected from productions by CBT.

B-Dub

I made my brother (Brad) sit for this quick portrait, while we walked the streets of Charleston S.C. during our Christmas break. This old door made a great back drop and Brad makes a great subject.

Family on the Beach

This is my brother Brad on the beach in Charleston S.C., and my mother is actually in the back ground. I purposely over exposed the image and them manipulated the image in Aperture to come up with this final product. Just wanted to try something new, and I'm pleased with the outcome. I always enjoy trying new techniques and processes, it keeps me interested.

Low Tide

This is an image that I shot in Charleston S.C. during Christmas. There were people on the beach and surfers in the water. I spent Christmas with my mother, stepfather, brother and sister in Charleston this year. It was so nice to get a way for the holidays and really do very little. The weather was great and honestly I didn't want to come home.
