Laura and Jesse {The Wedding}

Way out on the west side of Phoenix Aimee and I shot a beautiful wedding. Laura and Jesse are so in love it's almost sick. They are the couple that will break out in song at a moments notice. They are both working actors and to say the least they are very "dynamic."

They got married in Jesse's parents backyard. It was truly was a beautiful setting. Laura and Jesse did most of the planning and decorating and everything was perfect. The ceremony was lovely with Jesse's sister as the officiant. Both fathers got up and spoke which led to touching moments.
After the Ceremony we got some rockin shots at the Wigwam.The party was awesome. What a band! Laura blew me away when she grabbed the mic and absolutely owned Etta James' "At last!" When she was done the bass player looked at me and said "whew, that was no joke!" I added "and you thought this was going to be karaoke."
At the end of the night everyone was smiles. Laura and Jesse jumped in a vintage Rolls Royce and drove of into the night...

inside @ final friday

In the quest to shoot more for myself I dreamed up a project for final friday's at Cartel Coffee Lab. I set up my studio lights in the back of the coffee shop during the art walk. There was a great turnout and everyone had a blast.

The concept is portraits of people in thought. I'm calling it "inside". Have a look....

Lindsey and Chad Martin at Villa Siena {Wedding}

Another awesome wedding! It's raining beautiful brides, great locations, and awesome parties!

Lindsey and Chad got married Friday the 12th of September at the beautiful Villa Siena. Everything went off with out a hitch. It makes such a huge difference when the bride and groom are calm like they were.

I realize I could tell you the whole story but why not just get to the pictures....

Ok so I'm done vacationing

Whew... Ok so time to settle down and get some work done. Here's something old that I'm finally geting around to and some fresh stuff. The edits are super fresh.

Gallery RFD

If you are wondering where I am this week well....
If you don't recognize that zip code (no one will) it's Swainsboro, GA aka. small town USA. My friend Andrea is the new co-director and Gallery RFD is glad to have her fresh spirit. Together they are doing amazing things in an effort to infuse art into in a community that is lacking. I'll be here for another week talking art, relaxing, and helping out where I can. In my opinion every town needs a gallery RFD... they are non-profit, they organize amazing community events, and they help local artists get noticed. Super noble.

Free at last

As most of you know I resigned from my position at Medtronic 2 months ago. I was a product engineer in hardware development and I was working on the latest devices that Medtronic has to offer. I know this sounds exciting to some but I haven't looked back since I left. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Really what corporate America has to offer is a trade - Money for Stress. This type of arrangement is not for me.

I have traveled all over America since and seen things that fascinate me. I went up to an amazing photography conference in Virginia called LOOK3. I stayed at the nicest farm house in Louisiana for 2 weeks while eating the best food possible. Now I'm in Denver staying with one of my best friends working out the details of my next projects. Life is so much better without a leash.

Photography has really picked up in the last 2 months. I have been getting calls and emails from people wanting all sorts. It's nice to do what you love.

Here's a sample.... :)

In Denver

Hello everyone!

Things are going so great for me right now! I'm in Denver visiting some of my friends for about a month. My Friend Danny and I are starting a business and so far it's going good. Denver is really nice and I think I might make this my home for the next few months with several trips back to Phoenix to shoot all the weddings we have booked. I have only been in Denver for 3 days and I already have multiple photo shoots planned. Fun stuff.


I have started my crazy workouts again and everyone who knows me understands how good that makes me feel. My diet is really clean because everyone here eats really well. Nice!

Here's an awesome dino I found in Holbrook AZ....
