Christina and Charlie -May 17. 2008

Sorry guys. I have been a little behind on my blogging here lately. I have a few out of town weddings this month so between that and it being the middle of wedding season I am swamped.

On Saturday May 17, 2008 I photographed the wedding of Christina and Charlie at the Moody Air Force Base Field club. The wedding was held outdoors and the reception in inside the club. So far this year the weather has been almost perfect and this wedding date was no exception. Not a dark cloud in the sky. Here are a few photos from the day. Enjoy!

Charlie and Christina choose to see each other before the wedding. I love when couples do this because their reactions to each other are priceless. Here is the happy couple seeing each other for the first time.

After seeing eachother we walked around the ceremony site for some photos.

The wedding was filled with sentimental details. The two rings in the photo match and have been passed down through Charlie's family.

Christina's mother made her veil. I thought that was really special.

Congratulations and thanks for having me!

Riley Kate McMillan is here!

I am so excited I had to blog. My sister Christy (ok she is not really my sister by blood, but she is the closest I have to one) and her husband Brett had their first baby yesterday. Riley Kate McMillan was born at 10:32 at Tift Regional Hospital on May 21, 2008. We were all very worried because Christy had been very ill this week and had to have and emergency C section a few weeks before her planned due date, but every thing turned out great. Riley was born in great health weighing in at 6 pounds 14oz and Christy is looking forward to a smooth recovery.

Here is Brett bringing Riley out to show us for the first time. This was just minutes after she was born.

Riley great being greeted by her family.

As a photographer I am often asked about what I do and how I do it. I am asked things like "Can you do this for the rest of your life?" , "Are you satisfied with just being a photographer?". The photos I am showing you here should be the answer all of those questions. Yesterday I as held my camera I recorded the first day of someone's life. The first time she was held by her father, the first time her mother looked at her, the happy faces of grandparents as they saw their new grandchild are captured forever because of me.

Photography is about time, it is about life, it is about love, and taking all of this and being able to hold onto it forever. Being a photographer is not just about snapping pictures, its about taking these moments and turning them into images that will never be forgotten. Whether is it the first time a baby is welcomed into the world by its family, the smile of a teen ready to graduate, or the first time a husband kisses his wife, I feel that being able to capture these moments is the most rewarding thing that I could possibly do with my life, and I can't image doing anything else.

Without further delay I present to you Riley Kate McMillan

This was the first time Christy held her baby.

I am in love with the next 3 images.







Isn't she cute?

Congratulations Christy and Brett! She is beautiful and I can't wait to watch little Riley as she grows. Thank you for letting capture this day for you, it was an honor. I love you guys!

Amy and Larry

I spent this past weekend in Jacksonville, FL shooting the wedding of Amy and Larry. I love Jacksonville, so needless to say it was a great weekend. The wedding was held under the Treaty Oak at Jesse Ball duPont Park and the reception was at The Wyndham Jacksonville Riverwalk. It was a nice ceremony and the weather was great! Here are a few photos from the day. Enjoy!

After the ceremony the guests went to back to the Wyndam to enjoy Cocktail hour while Amy and Larry took photos.

I love the reds in this shot of Amy.

The reception was on the top floor, we had a great view of the city.


First dance photos are always some of my favorites.



Congratulations Amy and Larry!

Paige and Flynt

On Sunday May 4th I photographed the wedding of Paige McMillan and Flynt Owens. I was really excited to be shooting it because Paige and I go way back, way way back, all the back to the days of T-ball. She had originally planned to get married in October on a date I already had booked, but when the date was changed to May 4th I was able to do it and I am so glad I could. The wedding was held at the Crescent House in Valdosta, GA. If you are looking for a venue in the area the Crescent is a really beautiful place. Here are a few images from the day. Enjoy!

The Happy couple

I love doing silhouetted shots.

A few from the backyard garden at the Cresent. The snapdragons were in full bloom.
