Featured: Town Magazine | December 2012

So privileged to have a couple more images featured in this months issue of Town Magazine!




Congrats to Jenna and Alex for getting their Spartanburg Courthouse Wedding featured:




We also had a full page ad showcasing one of the night shots we did for the new Rick Erwin's ad campaign. Let me tell you, it was difficult being around all that awesome food and not being able to taste it! What a tease! Check it out!




Stay tuned for our best of 2012 post, coming very soon!

Downtown Greenville Night Engagement Session | Laura + Adam

I've never quite figured out why everyone does their engagement photos during the day. I mean the lighting at night can be so much more... interesting! Not that shots during the day are boring but they definitely take on a totally different look when the sun sets. But with Laura and Adam, we did the best of both worlds, both. Plus they brought me up to their roof top pool (what! in Greenville??), which makes me want to be even better friends with them than I already am. Thanks again for having me guys!

Loved this shot of Ariel and Phillip at their wedding last week in Savannah. Lots more to come very soon!

NYC Christmas

Alright I think I have a small addiction to New York City. Ever since my bachelor party (thanks Chris!) up there last month I was hooked. It was nothing like when I went as a kid. There is just so much to see and waste spend money on!

Naturally I was pretty pumped to head back up there for Christmas. I'm from upstate NY but my lovely fiance is from the city so I decided to take a year off from visiting upstate and hit up NYC to meet her extended family. It also happens that my wedding photographer is based out of NYC. Of course we had to take advantage. We setup some time to do some engagement photos with the city skyline. Now I can say I know what its like to be on the other side of the camera. It's definitely a lot warmer and a lot more cuddly (and kinda fun!).

Between eating some excellent Italian, Octopus, Thai, and Seafood we unrapped some pretty excllent presents. Its hard to beat that! I even did a very impromptu mini pre-engagement shoot with my soon to be sister her boyfriend! Here are a few shots from the trip!

Hope everyone had an awesome Christmas!

Downtown Greenville SC Night Photos

Back when I was just getting into photography I used to go out all the time and try to make some awesome night photos. There was just something about night photography that really intrigued me. Maybe it was the fact that you have a TON of control over the light or maybe it was just the fact that if you leave the shutter open and a car drives by you get these cool light streaks!

Anyways I went out around downtown Greenville, SC with my good friend Dan last Monday to see if I still had it in me to do some night photos. I got a few shots that didn't turn out too bad!

Carnival Fantasy Bahama Cruise Photos

I had never been on a cruise before. Neither had she. Let me tell you, booking a cruise to the Bahama's during early February was an awesome idea! Not only did it give a good backdrop to get engaged, it was perfect for curing those winter blah's. It was like stepping into the middle of summer!

Perfect blue water, white sand beaches, cheap Caribbean rum, it was all there! Just like in the movies! Here are a few shots from our trip!






We set off from Charleston, SC

The main area of the ship








Alright let me rant for a second here... These "photographers" on the ship are a total crock! This was one of the backdrops they were using to take beautiful "portraits" in front of! Not only do they use a full on frontal flash, they try to charge you 22$ for a mediocre 8x10" print of each image! Alright back to my photos...


Oh yea... I got engaged! Thank you to the people sitting in front of me for taking this!




Welcome to Freeport Bahamas, now buy our junk souvenirs!




Yup, Caribbean rum is pretty cheap down there (just not on the ship)!




Ya Mon!




Back to shopping




This dude was pretty cool




I'm pretty sure I've never seen a tree like this before








Post card anyone?
