Merry Christmas! Living in the south has the huge disadvantage that the weather doesn’t help get me in the holiday spirit. There’s no snow, the leaves have just recently fallen off the trees and I still have roses blooming in my yard. However, my wife can decorate the house like nobody else and that is where holiday spirit comes from around here. Today I took a few close ups from around the house and thought this one just might be image of the month worthy.
Our prayer is that the holidays are wonderful for you this year. We are spending our first Christmas without Amy’s dad so it will be a little rougher. Cherish your family and hug them as much as they’ll let you. 1/80 @ f1.8

This month we had the HUGE privilege of photographing the wedding of a dear friend. Sharon and her family were close friends of ours when we lived in Ohio and when she called and said she was getting married we were thrilled that she also wanted us to drive up and document her day. Tom is a fabulous guy and Amy and I wish them the very best.
We had a lot of fun watching her grandchildren dance during the ceremony and see what God is doing in this season of their lives. Awesome, just awesome.

Last weekend we photographed Kim and Jeff and their two wonderful children. We had a great time and the fall weather was perfect. I love that the trees are still changing in mid November.

Well, we are into November already! The Fall leaves are prime here in South Carolina. I recently posted a bridal shoot that I did and wanted to share one more for the image of the month. I added a little lens tilt to this one…….. 1/80 @ f9

We do a free engagement or bridal session with all of our wedding couples and Becky decided to do a bridal portrait a couple weeks after her wedding. Originally we talked about a “trash the dress” type shoot which ended up being more location and poses that we did not do the day of the wedding.
It was a perfect day in Hendersonville and Becky was a great model. Willing to sit, lay down, whatever to get some unique images.

A couple weeks ago Amy and I traveled to Buford, Georgia to shoot the wedding of Sarah and Jonathan. We started downtown and then to the event site. We had a great time and the wedding was beautiful. Sarah actually had the idea for some of the locations that we used and they turned out to be fantastic.

One of the things that I enjoy about being a photographer is that photographs can either reveal something that wasn’t noticed at the time it happened or it can hide realities. In the case of Becky and Web’s wedding, for the most part, what was hidden was how cold it was that day. It was a great fall day for a wedding but the winds were up a little and the 53 degree temperature at the beginning of my day dropped to the mid 40s by the time I left.
The images don’t really show this though. Which is great. What you see is a wonderful wedding and a great couple starting their life together. We were at Eden Lake in western North Carolina which is a beautiful setting. I was thrilled to be a part of it!

This month I just have to select a shot from a recent stock series that I did with my son Aidan. He was a great model but I am not sure he loved having to dress up. He is getting a bit old for it which is completely a bummer for me. He is leaving that cute stage. This may have been my last shot at this type of a thing. f11

I have been working diligently at producing stock images this summer and wanted to share a few recent ones. These are all of my youngest son, Aidan. He has been a good sport about the things I ask him to do…….most of the time. More to come, enjoy.

As the summer begins to fade I decided that I would post this shot as the image of the month. When I think of the perfect day it usually includes the beach and relaxing. Enjoy the last of the warm days. Fall is on its way. 1/2000 @ f4
