magan + philip / asheville / session

there's so much to write about Magan and Philip (and of course, Rosa the dog) but i think i'm going to save it for their wedding blog post. here's the short version: Magan and Philip are Asheville locals, are rad, and told me to get crazy. trust + freedom = art. love this one, thanks to you both.

thanks also to: Battery Park Book Exchange & Champagne Bar and Double D's Coffee and Dessert Bus.

thank you

this evening i met up with a local client of mine to deliver an album and ended up spending about an hour just chatting about the wedding day and life in general. it was just a simple little meeting that will fade into a note on our calendars as the days and weeks fly by but i realized yet again how lucky i am to be a wedding photographer.

this may or may not be related but i came home and decided to make a little page of some of your feedback on the wedding blog. thanks Emily and thanks to all of you.

emily + michael / asheville / session

i'm breaking my rule of never editing images on the laptop but i had to post a few after having such a fun time this weekend with Emily and Michael and, yes, Liza the (extremely well behaved) dog. big thanks to you three for putting up with my "attention deficit disorder" style of shooting and walking all over the NC Arboretum and downtown Asheville. can't wait for the big day at Claxton Farm! (more to come...probably on the wedding blog.)

wait, i have a photo where?

sure it's just a simple little ceremony image from Melissa and Casey's wedding but i was so excited to see this after clicking on the link Tara Jordan emailed me. i was even in Washington D.C. when i got the email! anyway, Tara was Melissa's coordinator for her wedding this summer at Grove Park Inn and was interviewed by The Washington Post for an article in their Lifestyle section. brides take note: free wedding advice (p.s. hire her anyway!)

update: wow, now they've posted 11 more of my images on another gallery post about wedding theme ideas and most of them include some of the vintage items from The Darling Bee that Melissa had at her wedding! what a fun way to end 2011, look out 2012!

be thankful

life is good.

lykke li at the orange peel

i actually made it out of the house to the lykke li concert last night at the orange peel in asheville. i shot three images with my point and shoot. this is one of them. lately i've decided to actually enjoy the concerts rather than scrambling for photos. maybe not the best decision for blog content but i'm pretty sure i enjoyed the show more than the girl holding up a camera and a cell phone nearly the entire time. good show, crazy drums, great band but i kind of got the impression lykke li might punch someone for not wearing enough black.

hey you! look over there!

just a quick note to remind you to click over to my wedding blog. a few blog updates and a new slideshow section are now posted. i'm pretty sure that most asheville wedding photographer blog activity happens in november when we actually have a chance to start pawing through the tens of thousands of images shot before the leaves fell. at least i like to think that, it could just be me!

filmed using a 30 camera GoPro array.

halloween at the mall

hahaha. oh wow. even the cutest little giraffe looks a little weird at our local "less popular" mall. you know what kind of mall i'm talking about, all cities have one. weird light, mostly empty. anyway...interesting time to say the least.

kate + peter / highlands / wedding

i suppose this should be considered a sneak peek since this Kate and Peter's weekend involved four shoots, including the 5K run (yes, on the morning of their wedding!) and the wedding images you see here. wow, wow, wow....these two were not messing around here. this wedding was epic. much much more to come. thanks to Matt Rose for helping me try to keep up with them.
