Kevin and Heather :: “what caught my eye”

Published on Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Kevin and Heather were wed in Macon, GA. Here are two that made the cut of “what caught my eye.”

First up is a portrait of the new couple. Give me a grassy hill, the sun, and blue skies and I’m happy. You’d never know this was shot in the back lot of the church with a big dumpster nearby.

Kevin played a song for Heather at the reception. I love the expression of Kevin and the sax player…

I’ve been shooting a TON of weddings…so lots of new stuff on the way!!


Jeff and Carrie :: what caught my eye

Published on Thursday, June 18th, 2009

Jeff and Carrie’s wedding was the first of two weddings I’ll be shooting on St. Simons Island, GA this year. I love the GA coast and especially love shooting there. Here are 2 images that caught my eye.

I love this simple, classic, beautiful shot of Carrie on the beach…

I had such a great time in Chicago capturing JD and Evie’s wedding. Evie and I have been friends since we met in 2001 through the Atlanta music scene. Its always an incredible honor to photograph a wedding and especially a wedding of a dear friend. Seeing these two together is such a blessing.

Trip to Chicago for JD and Evie’s wedding!

Published on Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Chicago for Evie and JD’s wedding. I wanted to share a few images from the city as well as a few from the wedding that caught my eye. Special thanks to Kurt for coming along with me to second shoot.

Chicago is such a beautiful city. I don’t think I’d want to be there in the winter, but the spring sure was nice. Here is a view of the river with the train passing by and all the amazing buildings.

the city seal…

Kurt and I of course had to go to the top of the Sears tower….

Kurt under one of the train lines.


Factoid: Chicago is the only city in North America in which 6 Class 1 railroads meet.

Lastly, a shot of my good friend Jake who was in town for the wedding in front of none other than Gino’s East. This was my first time having Chicago deep dish pizza and it was fantabulous.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

This first shot is of Evie’s locket she wore the day of the wedding. Inside is a picture of her Dad who passed away a few years back. Evie’s aunt is holding it open so I can get the shot.

some of Evie’s creativeness…notice JD’s wooden ring!

Evie with her brother just as the doors to the chapel were opening…

lastly, a shot of Evie and JD just after being pronounced husband and wife! I’m not sure they could look any happier. These shots are often some of my favorite.


Andrew and Brooke’s Engagement Shoot!

Published on Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

I met up with Andrew and Brooke fairly early one morning in Roswell. We had mostly overcast skies, but did get a little sun towards the end of the shoot. Andrew proudly serves in the Army and returned from overseas not too long ago. Thanks for your service Andrew!

Here are a few images…


Steven and Amanda :: ‘what caught my eye’

Published on Friday, May 22nd, 2009

My choices for ‘what caught my eye’ are a bit different for this wedding. My good friend Steven has been my trusty sidekick and second shooter at most weddings I’ve shot for about the past two years. It was an interesting twist to actually be shooting *his* wedding. These first two images were a result of me walking in on him and one of the groomsmen getting ready. Its a normal thing with photo journalistic work to capture everything going on including the occasional shot of the groom in his boxers. However, when I walked in Steven has already gotten dressed. I made a sarcastic joke….”Man, I didn’t get a shot of you in your boxers!” He responds with, “Hey, not a problem” and drops em right there. Good times indeed. Steven: Love ya bro. Thanks for all your hard work over the years.

I chose this next image because Amanda’s expression. This was shot right after they were officially pronounced husband and wife. Amanda looks so content as if she is thinking, “Yep. Thats my man.”

Congratulations you two!!
