Industry Perspective From One Coast to The Other: Blog Exchange with accomplished Washington photographer Zach Nichols

2020 has been quite the strange year for all of us with some industries getting pushed to near stand-still from the virus. The wedding photography industry is right in the middle of it! I spoke recently with my buddy and superbly accomplished photographer in Washington State, Zach Nichols. (www.instagram.com/zachicholz). As artists and, in general, humans it is good to take account of your journey. Tell your story. Recall where you have come from, where you are and where you are inspired to go. Times like Quarantine can push you to strain in your vision for your life. Some will say[...]

Wrightsville Beach Intracoastal Waterway Engagement Photo Shoot – Chelsea and Dalton

This engagement session was simply epic. Beautiful sunset, beautiful location and drop in a beautiful couple = perfection! Chelsea and Dalton wanted to do two engagement sessions to get a few options for their Save-the-Dates. We chose a dock location off the Intracoastal Waterway for this session and got lucky on a beautiful evening with just enough pop of color in the sky. They were totally down to get wet which brought some magic. See images below of a beautiful love and connection. The thing I like personally is getting couples out of their head about having a camera on[...]

Wrightsville Beach Engagement Session with Gina & David

Gina and David got engaged at a Michael Franti concert at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater in Wilmington, North Carolina.

We decided to start at the Yacht Club on Wrightsville Beach and then take in magic hour down on the south end of the beach. Gina and David have an amazing connection which you can see through the images. They both command   great personalities[...]

Wrightsville Beach Family Session – Williams Family

The Williams family travel down from Cleveland every summer to soak in some salty air for a vacation at the beach. This year as the kids get older and life flies by they decided to document their vacation with a photo session. There is no typical family session, they all have a level of excitement and a capturing of whatever is going to happen! ;) These guys were great to work with and now have images of memories that will last a lifetime. Till next year!

Last Shoot of 2016 – Celebrity Style : The Hough Family!

The final shoot of 2016 was a treat indeed. I had the honor of capturing a cool family reunion. It had been some time since the Hough family had a chance to get everyone together for family captures but sometimes the universe aligns and yours truly was there with camera in hand to capture a family celebrating their love. Got to shoot at a beautiful wedding and destination venue of La Caille, a French restaurant in an elegant, château-style setting in Salt Lake City. You may recognize Derek and Julianne from their work on Dancing with the Stars, Hairspray Live[...]
