Breakfast

We’re lucky enough to live a long walk or short car ride from the Orange Line. Brooke can take a quick bus ride to the train for her relatively comfortable commute. Although more often than not her husband drives her to Oak Grove. Negotiations usually start shortly after the morning alarm and often tip in […]

Melissa and Mike

So, it rained a little. Big deal. When you’re surrounded by your family and closest friends a little moisture in the air (ok, a lot in this case) doesn’t make a significant difference. Melissa and Mike were married in Kennebunkport at South Congregational Church before moving onto the Nonatum Resort for a really fun reception. I love […]

One of my favorite things to do that I never think to do is go camping. Luckily our friends Jo and Dave invited us to join them for a night on Tully Lake. As my eyes alternately got lost in the campfire and in the stars, I couldn’t believe Brooke and I didn’t get away […]

Peyton and Chris

Peyton and Chris got married on Isle of Palms in South Carolina. Their friends and family joined them for several days of relaxation by the water at Wild Dunes. I’ve known Chris and the family since I shot his brother’s wedding four years ago. It made total sense to find out Peyton and her family are […]

Shaun and David

Shaun and David know how to plan a wedding. They boiled everything down to the most important elements and focused an entire evening on long conversations and quality time with their closest friends and family. Shaun and David also really wanted to share their city with all their guests. There are few locations that do […]

Peyton and Chris

Here’s a sneak peak of Peyton and Chris’ wedding this past weekend in South Carolina. Be sure to check out the premiere of their show Going Yard on HGTV this Saturday and the corresponding article and wedding photos in the most recent edition of US Weekly. A full wedding post will be up in the next few weeks. I’m just hoping […]
