After shooting Susan and Joe’s engagement photos a while back I got to then shoot their wedding.  What fun!  This couple definitely knew how to have fun, but most of all they were obviously SO in love and happy to be together!  I wish you all the best!

Here are just a couple of their images, including a fun montage from their wedding day.  To view all of Susan & Joe’s wedding day photos, CLICK HERE

I had an awesome time photographing these two!  I’ll be the photographer at their wedding in December and can’t wait!  A very lively and fun couple, so I know that the wedding will just be awesome!  Thanks for letting me come by and get a few shots, guys! –

I had the honor of traveling down to Florida to photograph my Uncle’s wedding and feel that I got some great shots – but with a couple as in love as Bubba and Pam, that’s not too difficult.  Enjoy this preview of edited photos and see the full batch of them all HERE.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of Photographing a very fun couple at an amazing bluff-top winery.  Here are a few images from their wedding.  Thanks for including me in your special day!  All the best –

The ring barrer and flower girl did great jobs!  Cute kids!

What they’d been waiting for!

What a fun group of people!  They were a blast to hang out with!

Awesome location, right?!so easy to work with!We got the opportunity to go on a “trek” and shoot some images in the vinyard of the winery.

 Right as they cut the cake I heard a guest ask, “are you guys going to be nice!?”  The answer was no.  But it was all in good fun, and they really enjoyed the cake, I mean, they couldn’t get enough of it!   

 Is it possible to have TOO much fun?  Absolutely not!

I was very honored when Shannon insisted that she “get a photograph with the Photographer!!!”  Thanks again for including me in your special day!  You both were very wonderful!

Alright!  Finally I’ve got a few images together from this past summer (can you believe it’s already over?!)

This was a fun couple!  Ashley and “Fox” (Justin) asked me to put together a photobooth-esque wedding announcement and I think we’re both really happy with how it turned out.  Congratulations Ashley and Fox!

Chrystal and Everett are AWESOME!  They opened up their home to me for a weekend and we had a great time exploring St. Louis and taking some great photos.  I’ll be shooting their wedding in April of ‘09 and I can’t wait! 

This was a bit out of my norm when it comes to taking pictures – I’m obviously a portrait guy, but when it comes to my sister, I’ll do anything for her!  My sister had a birthday late this summer and this was a gift for her – a 12X12 green apple.  She’s great with home decor and has a green accented room focusing around New York City art.  So how about a green apple to represent the Big Apple and fit into her living room?  I thought that was pretty smart haha

Jessica and Jennifer have been two of my best friends since before I was walking and talking.  Their family opened up their homes and hearts to me throughout my entire life and early this sumer I had the opportunity to help them out with a unique father’s day gift.  We had a blast, and with girls this gorgeous, it’s an easy job.  Love ya girls!

Sorry for not updating in, what? 3 MONTHS!?

Of course I’ve been shooting over the summer and have some great work that I’m really excited to share with everyone.  Plus I’ve got a few engagements and weddings coming up in Sept. and Oct.  Including one in Florida!!  I’ll soon post a few images from some of my work this past summer and I vow to do a better job in keeping up-to-date with my postings and work.

Thanks for hanging in there! –

Here are a few images from a mock senior photo shoot with a good friend of mine, Allison kohls – I’ve known her and her family for quite some time (basically since birth) and was pleased by how photogenic she was!  We had a blast together!  click here for a full slideshow of all Allison’s images.

Yet another youtube video!  This represents my work from the past semester in Professor Jerry Schmidt’s Advanced Portrait class.  Check out the “portrait portfolio” tab above for a page of all these images individually.
