CUMBERLAND ISLAND TRIP

OK, time for vacation pics. Jamie and I spent Thanksgiving backpacking on Cumberland Island off the coast of south Georgia. We were joined by my brother, his wife and my two nephews. It was my fourth time on the island and every trip has just been awesome! I highly recommend it.

COLLIN'S FAMILY, CATALOOCHEE VALLEY

Okay, so Cataloochee Valley is fast becoming one of my favorite shooting destinations. The Collins family was yet another down to earth, easy going experience. What a beautiful day we had. We just hung out at the old Palmer Homeplace, had a picnic and got great shots. Thanks for being so easy to work with guys. You did a great job!

EMILY & KEVIN, CATALOOCHEE VALLEY

Emily & Kevin are not getting hitched until next July but they wanted engagement shots with fall color. Cataloochee Valley in Smoky Mountain National Park is one of their favorite spots so we spent a chilly morning shooting. I love going to remote locations! We had Elk and plenty of color. If you've never been there I highly recommend checking it out. I seem to be lucky in getting to know so many relaxed and down to earth couples. Looking forward to the wedding guys!

COURTNEY & JORGE, BANNER ELK, NC

I traveled to Banner Elk, NC to shoot Courtney and Jorge's wedding. They had a very, very intimate wedding with just close family in attendance. I had a great time hanging out with them all day. By the time I left I really felt like one of the family. Thanks again for letting me share your day. We got some great images despite the rainy weather.

TIME TO GET CAUGHT UP!

Back from our Thanksgiving trip and I am committed to catching up on this blog. I can't believe how behind I am on this!

OK - First, Erica and Doug. You guys were so cool and laid back! It was great getting to know you (and your dogs!). The ceremony and reception where held at Brahma Ridge Event Center. A beautiful, natural setting just outside of Asheville.
