Acanthus Greenville SC Wedding | Lizzie and Joe are MARRIED!

This could be one of my favorite weddings of all time. Seriously. It was that good.

I met Lizzie and Joe while they were still living in Long Beach California. They were planning an awesome wedding at The Acanthus in Lyman, SC just outside of Greenville, and they couldn't have asked for a better day. Absolutely beautiful skies, 99% rain free, a beautiful moonrise, rockin' bridal party, and a loving family. Lizzie and Joe weren't too bad themselves either. These guys enjoy life to the max and have an incredible love for each other to boot!

I also had a chance to work with Kim Wehunt with all in the details wedding planning, who did a fantastic job keeping everything running smoothly. With beautiful flowers, ice sculptures, fireworks, sparklers, and cake cuttings to organize and make happen, I'm sure she had her hands full.

I've been dying to post these photos. I usually try to get the number of photos that I post from a wedding down to around 30. This time, I couldn't get below 50. Needless to say these are definitely some of my favorite wedding photos ever! Thanks so much for having me Lizzie and Joe!

Petit Le Mans 2010 Photos | ALMS Race Road Atlanta

I had never been to an ALMS race before and seeing as how Petit Le Mans is one of the biggest and LONGEST of all the American Le Mans races, I figured it would be a good place to get my feet wet. And WOW it was awesome, I've never been to anything like it before!

This was the 13th annual petit le mans held at Road Atlanta. It's a 10 hour or 1000 mile race, whatever comes first. This year there were a bunch of cars represented from Audi TDI race cars, to Ferrari F430's and from Corvette C6R's to Hybrid Porsches. I've shot up at the BMW performance center before and it was always a challenge. The only difference here is that the cars are pushing 200mph! Check out some of the action!

I can't believe how close the cars race to each other while pushing 150mph!


















Just a flesh wound!
