Castle LadyHawke

Castle LadyHawke is a new wedding venue just over an hour from Asheville, NC.
Aaron Hogsed asked me to come along with him to shoot some promotional images for the Castle - and I was happy to go!
Living in North Carolina, how many castles do I really get to shoot?!

Aaron put together a slideshow with images from both of us. Click here to check it out!


















Aaron Morell from Grae Skye Studios was also on hand getting some video, so check it out as well.

stuff photographers think about

I came across this video today and it resonated with me.
It's not exactly my story but I saw some shadows of mine in it.

This is Zac Arias out of Atlanta. I've learned a ton from this guy so it's interesting to hear his thoughts on stuff.
Like Zac, I've had some wonderful compliments on my photography which does tremendous things for my ego - but sometimes I'm just a guy trying not to suck.

Snow & Chris had a Rockin' Wedding!

Hey everybody!
Sorry I've that I haven't posted anything for a few weeks - freakin' Facebook! It's got me addicted.
But that doesn't mean I don't have some sweet images for you.

Check out the beautiful and super fun Snow & Chris!
Snow still insists on being a Doctor instead of a model - what's 8 years of school when you're fabulous!
I suppose she can just treat the guys who's heart attacks she induced.
Good job security. Smart girl.
So is Chris smarter because he's a doctor too or for hooking up with Snow?
Not such a tough call there - I'm going with the latter.

DeAnn rocks the solo shoot!

DeAnn flew out from California just to shoot with me!
How cool is that!
As an added bonus she got to visit her family and friends that all live in town. How convenient!

Going on two hours of sleep, DeAnn soldiered on as we shot for a few hours and and then braved the 20 degree weather to try out some cool night shots in downtown Asheville.
As is the case with most photographers - we don't have any good pictures of ourselves! But thanks to DeAnn taking the camera from me periodically while we shot, I've got some sweet shots to use with my webpage, facebook and whatever else I can come up with!

Normally I choose the images from a shoot that I think best represent my style - or that just came out freakin' sweet!
This time I let DeAnn choose - these are her favorites. Thanks for hooking me up with some cool shots!

Tell me that first shot isn't smokin' though!
