The Weather Channel said it would rain all day as we spent Saturday with Luvi and Chris as they were to be married. I don't think a single drop fell as it was a beautiful day. It was so much fun spending time with their families and getting some rockin' shots of Chris and Luvi.
Luvi and Chris,
Thank you for such a great day! We hope you have a great honeymoon. We can't wait for you to see the rest of the images, but here are a few to tide you over...
Well, we've been wrestling around with the idea of posting larger images to the blog. It's always a balance between sizing for the internet (download time) and visual impact and visual impact is gonna have to win! So, for all of you that have wanted larger images, here it is. We've posted the past few posts with larger previews; let us know what you think...
Laura and Michael are good friends that we have known for a number of years. We had the honor of documenting Autumn (Michael's sister) and Brian's wedding a number of years ago. As well, Jen and Liz (Michael's other sister) are good friends. I've known the Talleys for close to 15 years now and have been so blessed by every member of the family. Laura is, as well, a very special person and it is exciting to see these two come together. The wedding was at TVR Christian Camp and Retreat Center, an awesome camp where we lived for about seven years.
We had a great time with Michael and Laura, as well as, seeing so many old friends--it was like a reunion...
Michael and Laura,
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your day. We are so excited for you guys and are looking forward to getting together soon. Hope you had a great trip to the island... Take care and God bless!
Here are a few moments from their day...
We had a blast with Sara and Nick on their engagement shoot earlier in the week. The are so sweet together... Here are just a couple shots from their day.
Nick and Sara,
Thank you so much for coming to Marion... This little town has some cool spots to shoot and you guys were great. We had a good time and are really looking forward to the wedding...
We had a fun shoot with Anneliese and Arie earlier this week. As you can see, they're not photogenic at all ;) Seriously though, we had such a blast and they made it easy... Here are a few shots from the day. We'll post a slideshow next week. Enjoy!
Catherine and Dustin had a great wedding on Saturday in Charlotte, NC. Even with threat of rain, the day turned out beautiful. I just had to post a couple of shots from the day--stay tuned for the preview slideshow to come shortly.
Congratulations to Sabryna and Dan--featured in Weddings Unveiled Magazine. Be sure to pick up a copy at Barnes and Noble or your local grocery store and read all about this fantastic couple. As well, there are images from their beautiful wedding at the Daniel Island Inn club. 
We had a great time with Natalie and Matt in their hometown. Here are a few shots of this awesome couple.
Congratulations to Becky and Greg on their upcoming wedding! We had a great time earlier this week in Charlotte for their engagement shoot and are really looking forward to the wedding. Here are a couple of shots from the shoot.
We are excited to be featured in the latest issue of Great Output Magazine. This is a magazine published for photographers across the country. There are great articles on everything from technique to equipment to business. We are honored to have been included in this issue. Here's a shot of the cover featuring an awesome couple, Vanessa and Zach and a couple of inside spreads. You can download a copy today by CLICKING HERE. 
We had an enjoyable Easter yesterday with beautiful weather, a great morning church service, and good food. However, this weekend has been a bit solemn as on Saturday, Charleston, our dog of over 11 years, passed away. He's had cancer for a while now and with a weak heart, he finally went to sleep on Saturday. It is amazing how much joy a pet can bring into our lives. Over the past few days, I have paused coming in the front door, almost expecting to see Charley run around the corner to greet us. Last night, I didn't sleep much at all because I am used to having Charley at the foot of the bed.
We got Charleston shortly after we were first married. I was reluctant at first, but Jen really wanted a dog. We chose the quietest in the litter of Schnauzers which we found out later is the wrong way to choose a pet :) Over the next few weeks, I fell in love with this little fur ball and over the next 11 years realized that he is more a part of the family than a pet. So if you're reading this and have a pet, I encourage you to go and give him/her a hug and a treat...
Charley is greatly missed.
During the busyness of the month, I realize that I didn't post any of Catherine and Dustin's images on the blog. Here are a few images from their engagement shoot--we're excited to be covering their wedding in a couple of weeks.
Last Friday, we had the pleasure of covering a beautiful wedding with some great folks. Sally and Evan were wed at the Biltmore in Asheville. Shay and Patty coordinated the event at the Deer Park and Blossoms handled the arrangements and candles (there were just a few :) ) The weather held off and we had a great day.
Thank you guys for allowing us to be a part of your special day!. We had a blast! Here are just a few images from the event. Or click here to see a preview slideshow.
We took our annual trip out to Montana last week and had a great time. This is a good time every year to get out of the office, see some of God's creation, get caught up a little on book design, and occasionally hit the slopes. Last week, we had the opportunity to go into the park (Yellowstone) . Here are just a few captures from our trip--
Some locals noticed our arrival...

Before launching in to professional photography full-time, Jen and I lived and worked at a Christian camp up in the mountains. We would take trail rides, head up the climbing elements, go whitewater rafting, etc. Each summer, more than 200 kids a week would come to the camp and do all of these activities and more. We also had close to 50 summer staff there for the summer. Christen was a counselor at the camp for a number of summers and we worked together with the Pioneers--the 3rd to 5th graders. We became good friends and over the past couple of years had lost touch a little. Jen and I were so excited to hear that Christen was engaged and we were blessed to be able to cover the wedding. Here are a few shots from that cold, snowy day in January.
We had a great time earlier this week down in Charleston with Mitchell and Athena. They are an awesome couple we have the privilege of shooting later this year for their wedding. Here's a couple of shots from the trip--we'll post more later..
We had a great time at the Guerrilla Management workshop in Fredricksburg, VA. This was a workshop primarily for business management geared to photographers. We also had a good time hanging out with James and Meridith of Walters & Walters photography . They're very talented photographers from Raleigh and just great people :) I'll post more a little later--our heads are still spinning from the trip.
It's been a while since we've blogged so I added quite a few images today from various weddings and shoots. Scroll down through the shots and we'll soon add more details and links to the slideshows.
We're in the process of catching up on editing and book designs and let me say, we have been so blessed to have been a part of such beautiful events with some great people. It's exciting looking through all of these images and seeing the moments recorded--I LOVE MY JOB!!
Anyway, we'll be in Virgina this weekend, but will return on Monday. Take care and we'll post an update soon...
We had a great time at the Asheville Wedding Festival at the convention center. Mark and Colleen put on a great show and we are always proud to be a part of it. We are working on the fashion show with them for the Palmetto Wedding Festival and it is gonna rock! We'll tell you more about it later...
Here are a couple of shots of our booth at the show. Special thanks to Corey McNabb for sending us these shots...
