“Let them praise his name with dancing…”

- Psalm 149:3a

I was so very blessed to work along side Rob Jones, Towner-Jones Photography, once again this past weekend; Rob is a very good friend of mine as well as an amazing photographer.  I was asked to be his second shooter/assistant as we photographed a beautiful couple, an older couple.  The couple we photographed were such a blessing to watch as they recited their vows, sang their songs, proclaimed their love and danced the night away.  Speaking of dancing, this post is a bit different.

The ceremony was beautiful.  The details were gorgeous.  The dance…the dance was breathtaking.

May this post serve as but a small reflection of this humble couple’s love for one another through their first dance.

I was very blessed to have my photograph taken with them.

Simple beauty.

Sam – Man’s Best Friend.

Not to long ago my wife and I rescued our first puppy – Sam.  Words alone cannot express how much of a blessing this little guy is to our hearts.  Not quite a year old yet and already a whopping 50 pounds, which is funny because he thinks he is a lap dog.

When we’re sick, not feeling well, or simply down – Sam is there with his puppy eyes and let’s us know everything will be alright.  When we’re joyful and ready for anything – Sam is already in the car waiting for a car ride or already outside ready to play.

Sam is truly the prime definition of man’s best friend – he’s our best friend and we would be lost without him.

This post is dedicated to our dog – Sam.

“A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water log stick will do just fine. A dog doesn’t care if your rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he’ll give you his.”

Quote from Marley and Me

Matt and Amanda – Part 2

I apologize for the lack of posts lately – I have been a little behind on all my film scanning. I came across a few images yesterday that just screamed intimacy between Matt and Amanda and I couldn’t wait to post these this morning.

Jake and Michelle, Virginia.

This past weekend I had the amazing and humbling experience to photograph Jake and Michelle.  These two had emotion written all over them – happiness, excitement, passion, and humility.  It was a joy to photograph their day and reunite with some friends of Liberty.

Enjoy this small teaser of Jake and Michelle.

Blessings.

a simple stroll.

Matt and Amanda, Virginia.

Greetings.

Earlier last week I had an amazing opportunity to work beside a good friend of mine, Mr. Joel Coleman.  Joel asked me to second shoot Matt and Amanda’s wedding and I could not have been more excited.

Matt and Amanda, one of the most super chill couples I have ever met, were so fun to work with.  Their wedding expressed humility in every sense and truly reflected their love for each other, and their friends.  I was so honored to not only work beside Joel, but to have the opportunity to photograph Matt and Amanda on their beautiful day.

I used a lot of film that day and I have so much more to scan, but for now I hope you enjoy this small teaser.  I hope your day is blessed.

the backyard.

Backyards are a part of everyone’s past time whether mud pies, playing with the dog, swing sets, gardening, trimming the grass; regardless every home has a backyard.

I had a few frames left on my film camera and decided to take a stroll through my backyard – nothing fancy, but I am interested in exploring further now.

The backyard is only the beginning.

Film used – Fuji Reala.
