You hear people often say "Where DID time go?" - I've said it myself. Tomorrow, Yvonne and I celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Other than giving my life to Christ, giving my heart to Yvonne Price 25 years ago was the best thing I've ever done. We married shortly out of high school so we were babies - We've basically grown up together! We're going to take tomorrow off from studio duties and enjoy being together. Here are a couple images from a long time ago!

Yvonne and I had the pleasure to photograph the wedding of Katie Bui & Jay Smith this past Saturday. It was a perfect weather day, great couple, great surroundings. Here are a few images from their wedding. Congratulations Katie & Jay!

Katie & Jay started their wedding weekend at the lovely Bloomsbury Inn in Camden














mmmmm....sushi!
Bunny weekend wrapped up a couple weeks ago - and it was fun as always! Here are a couple of my favorites.








Yvonne and I had a great day yesterday with our youngest son Thomas. We spent the afternoon touring the campus of the University of South Carolina. Although for business reasons we try to stay pretty neutral in the whole Carolina - Clemson debate, we are a bit partial to Carolina because 2 of 3 of our children will be Gamecock Alumni. Thomas plans on majoring in Political Science with an emphasis on Constitutional studies - and he will be minoring in music. Tom will have his feet held to the fire as the head of the Poli-Sci department is Dr. Dan Sabia, our daughter Amanda's father in law! From what I know of Dan, he plays no favorites and Tom will have to bring his A-game for the next four years! We are so very proud of all three of our children. Each have wonderful God given talents and I look forward to watching them become the adults we always hoped they would become!

Getting ready for spring portraits starting tomorrow. Feeling a little giddy.


Have a Blessed Easter!
Yvonne and I traveled to Norris Tennessee this past weekend to photograph the wedding of Courtney Lawless & Chris Tinder. In keeping with their love for all things outdoors they planned a beautiful, intimate outdoor wedding at Norris Dam State Park. Weather was perfect, spring blooms were just starting and had a blast with the great new Mr. & Mrs. Tinder! Here are a selection of images from their wedding.
