Fred and Anita_Revisited. Virginia.

Anita and Fred are two friends who I consider a joy to know.  I shared an on-campus apartment with Fred my senior year and what an enjoyable year it was.  One quality about Fred and his beautiful bride that I admire (and believe to be their trademark) is their smile.  As long as I have known them both, they are always smiling.  They make the most of each situation and always move forward.

I really felt an urge to post more photos than usual, mainly because I want to show my friends to the world, but more importantly show a glimpse of their happiness.

To be reunited with them on their wedding day brought me back to all the good times I shared with them back at Gardner-Webb.

I hope you enjoy a small visit into their wedding day.  Blessings.

P.S.  They love sushi.

Liz and David. Virginia.

My wife goes way back with Liz and David, more so Liz, since they roomed together in college.  I had the privilege to meet Liz while my wife and I were dating and since have been so blessed to know her.

Liz and David are two individuals deeply in love with one another and they have such a strong desire to follow the Lord.  May this post serve as but a quick insight into their beautiful day.

Liz and David, may the Lord continue to bless you both as you begin your lives together.

Nick and Christianna. North Carolina.

Nick and Christianna are amazing people and even more so, amazing friends.  This past weekend was a true blessing as I had an incredible opportunity to not only witness their union together, but also photograph it.  Their ceremony was so much fun, especially the Reception – photos to come soon of all the dancing – and I truly pray the Lord’s blessing upon them as they start their lives together.

Here are few teasers from this past Sunday.

Jake and Michelle, Part Two. Virginia.

I am constantly amazed with the couples I photograph.  Sometimes, I find myself just simply revisiting their portraits and get swept away in the depth of their love for one another.

Jake and Michelle are approaching their 2nd month of marriage and I truly believe that the Lord is blessing their marriage every step of the way.  I have the unique privilege of catching up with Jake from time to time at Liberty and he is nothing but smiles when it comes to his lovely bride.

May this post serve as a small revisit to their beautiful day of becoming one.

Be blessed.

Frank and Diana. Virginia.

“Let them praise his name with dancing…”

- Psalm 149:3a

Frank and Diana 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.”

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.

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.
