Gary & I…

At the beginning of October Gary and I were able to meet up with his parents a little north of Playa Del Carmen, Mexico for a week of vacation.  That area of Mexico is soo beautiful with it’s Crystal blue water, white sand beaches, ancient Mayan ruins and its amazing culture.  Sure we could have gone to a beach in Florida and gotten the blue water and white sand beaches, but there’s something about Mexico that I love… it’s the people and the culture and the way of life that just draws me in.  If you’ve never been to Mexico… go if you get the opportunity… if for no other reason, but to experience another way of life.  Anyways, we spent most of the days on the beach or by the pool… Gary studying and working on a research paper and I read 4 books 🙂 and we spent time with his family.  Hopefully I will be able to get a few pictures up that I took of the beaches soon, but here are a few pictures that were taken of Gary and I by a photographer down in Mexico.  All I have to say is that I HATE to be in front of the camera… but I’m showing you these b/c they are fun and they completely show who we are as a couple…

After almost twenty years of photographing weddings, I’ve learned that the moments my couples come back to years later are not always the ones you would expect.  The first look matters. The vows matter. […]

Rachel & Ben were married on an incredible fall weekend in the upstate of South Carolina.  The weekend started out with family and friends celebrating these two at the Greenville Country Club for the rehearsal dinner.  The included hugs, the most beautiful toasts, and Ben grabbing his guitar and playing/singing for guests.  That evening set […]

For the last few years I’ve photographed Ballet Spartanburg’s performances of the Nutcracker.  It is an honor to capture these incredible students and professional dancers that share the stage for this family favorite in the heart of Spartanburg, SC.  Most years I capture the dress rehearsals, this past year due to a wedding in Charleston […]
