A couple weekends ago we had the privilege to shoot an awesome wedding in Kings Mountain, NC. Emily and Yuuki Nishiyama (say that 3 times fast) were married on what might have been the hottest day of the year. Nevertheless the wedding party was crazy fun and we had a blast scouting locations around town. By the end of the night we were having such a great time, it was almost hard to watch them leave. Special thanks go out to a great wedding planner and my amazing assistant. Congrats Emily and Yuk!

Earlier this week I had a chance to spend some time with my good friend Curtis Zack. Curtis is an international speaker, rapper and food connoisseur. In fact on this shoot he introduced me to true Chicago-style hot dogs at a Germantown spot called Zackies, then chocolate BACON truffles at The Cocoa Tree.

Look for CZ in the last shot. Stay tuned folks!

Hey everyone thanks for checking in! We we have a winner to our first ever blog contest which we will featuring right here before long so stay tuned. Thanks to everyone for your great ideas!

I often get requests from clients for black and white… Recently we were honored to shoot a beautiful wedding in North Carolina for Heather and Jason. Their colors were bright and the photos turned out great. There was just something about the black and white that popped. For the blog I thought it would be cool use these to tell their story. Enjoy!

Spring is in the air and it smells like… free!

a Nashville engagement~

We had a great time roaming the city with Emily and Yuuki last Friday evening. This awesome couple drove 7 hours with little sleep and STILL had enough energy for an engagement session in downtown Nashville and Franklin. We toured around Broadway from the walking bridge to the Ryman and even got the chance to shoot inside historic Ernest Tubb Records! It was fun getting to know them and we look forward to shooting their wedding this August. Congrats guys- yeeeeeehaw!!!

…or Jesse’s girl (take your pick). This wedding at Table Rock State Park in North Carolina was a Blast! Keep an eye out for the seventies tv cop playing guitar undercover.

~Congrats Jude and Jesse!

Man how time flies (especially when you’re trying to catch up on blogging)! ANYWAY, we were so excited to finally meet our FIRST nephew in person this Spring. We fell in love with him instantly and plan to spoil him beyond recognition.

Here are a few pages from his album…

Here are a couple shots on location for a video shoot in downtown Nashville with Danny Gokey (American Idol). I was honored to help out videographer J. Edwards on such an important shoot. The video will promote Gokey’s non-profit, Sophia’s Heart which helps families and children in need (www.sophiasheart.org).

Here are a few shots from a recent wedding in Wilmington, NC. We had a great time getting to know Matt and Liz. Braving the treacherous rocks along the shore proved to be an adventure we won’t soon forget. Congrats guys!
