Cyndy & Matt

Wonderful wedding of Matt and Cyndy this past Saturday in Greensboro. Cyndy and Matt are two of the sweetest, down to earth people I have met, they were so easy to work with. Without a doubt one of my best weddings of the year.

Expecting & Lovin It!

As some of you might know, my wife Cindy and I are expecting our third child, a little boy the first of April. We are all trying to help a little more, some of us more than others :) Babies and little boys, the true spice of life.

Mentor

I recently photographed my father in law Mr. Charles Gurkin at the request of my mother in law Becky, an extraordinary woman I will tell you about sometime. This particular image requires a little history. Charlie is and has been many things in his life, a vietnam veteran, police officer, salesman, poet, novelist, inventor, husband, father, photographer for 35 years, and a friend. Charlie helped start me on this journery of exploration in photography and life for which I am ever grateful.

Now retired, Charlie spends his days inventing new bicycle configurations which he regulary rides through town. This image for Becky is a combination of two things she loves, Charlie and her house.

I could write a book on Charlie and the lives he has lived, but I will end here saying that Charlie has one thing for sure, my respect. I decided not to long ago I would tell Charlie how I felt about him and how much he has enriched my life, instead of poetic words I came up with one sentence. "Charlie, I would help you hide the body".

Leslie & Robert Nov 9.

I spent a great evening with Leslie, Robert and their sweet little Alex. Most of their wedding was a night time wedding which always affords some creative opportunities. I was a little disappointed to not see any cheeseburgers at the wedding............Robert.

Karen & Brandon's Wedding

Wow, what a wedding! I have so many great images it was almost impossible to pick a few for my blog. Karen gave me free reign to do what I wanted and I took full advantage. All I can say about Karen is look at her, she is stunning. Karen is owner operator of Vision's Catering, who also catered and decorated the event which was just amazing.

Janet & Jim's Biltmore Wedding

I had the pleasure of photographing Janet and Jim's wedding in Asheville. Janet is absolutely the best, I could have not asked for more. Janet planned an incredible event with grace and composure. People like Janet and Jim are why I love what I do.

April & Mike's Oct. 11 Wedding

I posted earlier saying I was really looking forward to this wedding and I wasn't disappointed. April & Mike's wedding was truly about the love they have for their families and each other. I am grateful and honored to have been a part of their day.

April & Mike's Engagement

I am getting ready to leave for April & Mikes' wedding in Burlington in a couple of hours. I wanted to post a couple of pics from their engagement session. I have really been looking forward to their wedding as it will be in a little one room church back in the woods. If ever two people were in love and were meant for each other, it is April and Mike, it just makes me feel good to be around them.

Karen & Brandon's Engagement

Karen and Brandon will be getting married in a couple of weeks. We had a great engagement session on the grounds of Biltmore Estate. Karen is also the owner operator of Vision's Catering which do a wonderful job, (try the brownies) on many weddings I have photographed over the years. Love ya Karen.

Wedding of Amber & Jeff

Amber & Jeff were married Sept. 27 at Jamestown United Methodist with the reception at J.H. Adams Inn. This was a great wedding, Amber is so easy to work with. Jeff and myself spent some time talking about our early Nintendo days. (It's a guy thing.)

Bridals

It is not often I get to post images from my bridal sessions, so I thought I would post a couple from earlier in the year of Brandy and Dana. I love the bridal sessions as my brides find out are way more fun than they thought. I will post a few more later in the week.

Wedding of Heather & Tripp

Heather & Tripp were married Sept 13 at the Groome Inn in Greensboro. Two more people I admire, Heather is a nurse and Tripp is a Greensboro Police Officer. Heather worked very hard on her wedding and did a great job.

Wedding of Brandy & James

Brandy & James were married on Sept. 20 at the Firethorne Country Club in Marvin, NC just south of Charlotte. When you talk about people I admire here is one I want you to meet. Brandy is a pediatric nurse in Charlotte, one of our true heroes.

Hannah's Second Session

Once again I had the pleasure of spending some time with the lovely Hannah. We had so much fun on Hannah's first session she came back for another. We focused on taking advantage of different color and background textures which allowed us to produce some remarkable images, and of course, thanks to Hannah's great attitude.
