Nina and James' wedding day at Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens was as perfect as it could be, the girls at Weddings And The City did a truly amazing job with the design
Nina and James' overflowing love and excitement really made the day for me, after all is'nt that what it's all about.

Lorraine and Sanders wedding at the Legare-Waring House in Charleston this past Saturday was as about as perfect as it gets, a gorgeous bride, a handsome groom, fun and loving family and friends + incredible wedding design by Melissa Barton of A Charleston Bride and wonderful Liz my assistant.

This is the first of two posts from the very elegant Thomas wedding starring Caroline and Chad at The Citadel and The Mills House in Charleston.

This was the first full bore Slate + Israel team shoot featuring Rodney Slate, yours truly and Lindsey Slate Broere shooting vintage Super 8 film.

This is 6 month old Amelia, who is just about as cute as it gets and she has the coolest hair on any baby I've ever seen.

A few of my favorite shots from yesterdays engagement session with Carrie and Pat. No need to feel nervous about you upcoming session, relax get all lovey dovey and have fun.

A few maternity shots of the beautiful Sabrina and her hubby, she is an amazing hair stylist and is the owner / creative director of the Orange Olive salon in NODA

These two cute, cute boys belong to my friend Marcello who by the way is an amazing photographer and designer.

Can't have one without the other, some vintage Tin Type Sophia.

Ferris did a book report on Eleanor Roosevelt and presented it today in full period clothes and hair.
These shots were taken at 8:00 this morning just before I took her to school, thought I'd do a little pseudo wet plate photography, not exactly period accurate but close enough.

However, this summer I will be offering alternative process photography for my portrait clients. Details soon.

These are a few of my favorites from my friend Michael and his beautiful bride Kate's wedding in Fort Worth, Texas. Michael is an amazing guitar player and plays in the band GoDeep.

Traci and Chris had a big time at their beautiful intimate wedding in Key West, surrounded by close family and friends.

I've been digging around the archives and found this image of Ferris ans Sophia which is one of my all time favorite pictures of the both of them, I took it perhaps 4 years ago and proudly displayed in our house. BTW. Don't be satisfied with looking at your photos on a computer screen print them and enjoy them, every day.

This weekend we're shooting a gorgeous wedding in Key West + Beth and I get to have a mini vacation. Yeah!!!

I posted this slideshow last year, worth another look I think...

Kristen Vining and I are getting ready to launch a Pictage Users Group here in Charlotte and had the opportunity of going to Asheville and participating in and share with the the brilliant Asheville PUG plus we got to see snow.
