Arizona Here We Come!

Michelle and I will be hitting the road for an Arizona shoot-out adventure. A few months ago, we had the pleasure of being part of Steck & Marilyn's wedding in Scottsdale. Today, we're headed back for one of our cinematic, fashion-filled "day-after" sessions. The itinerary includes Sedona, Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon!.

rooftop romance

To me, this image feels like it's not even in downtown Greenville. Maybe it's the neon lights, or the sunset saying goodbye to yet another day, but whatever it is, it fills my creative spirit with wanderlust and a yearning for more adventure!

This image seems befitting of the words written by John Donne
"Come live with me, and be my love, and we will some new pleasures prove; of golden sands, and crystal brooks, with silken lines, and silver hooks."

wishing you well,

-TJ

old-time hotel: the journey of an artistic spirit

My good friend and photographer Scott Holloway first showed me a shot he took similar to this one. It was such a great shot, I was inspired to try it with Nate & Riley as well. I wanted to take them back in time, giving their image a look that would evoke another era.

When you hire us, you are hiring artists first and a photographer second; though it would probably be hard to separate the two physically, since photography is the means in which we create our art. Many of our photographs strive to evoke a feeling beyond the reality; something more grandeur and spiritual. As with every artistic photographer, part of their soul shines through their work. It's a good reminder that you're not just paying for someone who knows how to use a camera, when you book us, you're paying for the vision, and artistic spirit as well.

Sittema Wedding

Each wedding, we have the honor of shooting, leaves me some impression of bettering my soul. Nate and Riley's holds a special place in my heart for many reasons. Not only did it open the opportunity for me to use my first ever 400MM Prime lens, but Nate and Riley themselves showed me the unfiltered thought of living a moment to it's fullest. This also reminded me to live life every day on purpose and with vigor! They probably had no idea the impact their love and life would leave on my soul that night, which is yet another reminder that we never know who and when we may touch another's life.

much love nate and riley. thank you.
