Why You Should Do a First Look (Creative Wedding Photography, Greenville SC)

A Great Idea
A first look is more than seeing each other before the ceremony. The first look is a chance to experience a moment more intimate and satisfying, than you can get from seeing each other walking down the aisle alone. The first look doesn't take away from the moment you first see your love, it enhances what is soon to be two lives with one voice—forever!

As we shot Kevin and Leslie, I coulnd't help but feel emotion pouring over them and onto us, and I knew we were capturing a moment that would not have been possible, had they waited to see each other first when walking down the aisle. We want to bring the best story—YOUR STORY— to your day, and give it to you as a present after your wedding day is over. Capturing moments like this, go beyond documentary and begin the adventure into storytelling.

As you look through these images, see if you can feel the freshness, see the excitement, and notice your heart cheering as they experience the beginning of a beautiful journey!

Bride + Groom: A Woodland Adventure (Creative Wedding Photography, Greenville SC)

The emotion you can see in a lover's eye is more telling that any word. And when this is combined within a setting of nature, it enhances emotion into art. A subtle, yet potent element for me in this photograph, is the vertical line of the surrounding trees. To me, the space is given a tranquil feeling, and the trees point upward to hope, growth and an eternal love...

Cliffs at Glassy Wedding Photography (coming soon...)

There's little else that fills me with wonder like that of "God's daily painting".
I may be an artist, but I am not "THE Artist". I can only emulated the beauty I see around me; drawing from the myriad forms of inspiration created for me each day. I love what we do, and I actively strive to "see" something between the obvious that would make an extraordinary photograph. But it's God's wonder that fills my soul to do this; my ultimate muse.

"Dress up" (Creative Commercial Photography, Greenville, SC)

This is another image that will be featured in an upcoming ad for Eric Brown Design.
The idea for this campaign is capturing people interacting within the scene and surrounding decor.
This ad hails to that age where kids like to go through their parents cloths and play dress up!

Editorial Portraits: TOWN Magazine (Creative Commercial Photography, Greenville SC)

The Project
These images are of two personalities featured in the latest issue of the TOWN magazine. One was for a lawyer who has celebrity-type clients, such as NFLm players and music artists. The other is a local doctor, who flies overseas giving his time and expertise to the locals who normally don't have access to the same kind of care we enjoy here in the USA.
