Amy & Isaac Wedding


Here I am trying to atone for dereliction of blogging duty. I can't go back and blog everything I didn't include but I want to hit some recent highlights and there's no better place to start than Amy and Isaac.

This fun couple had their wedding and reception all in the same location in scenic downtown Greenville on a Sunday. They decided to have it at High Cotton overlooking the Reedy River, a prime location. Because we started out early and it was a Sunday, we had almost exclusive access to the Reedy River area for a first look and some pre-ceremony pictures. We were only interrupted by the occasional early runner, which is a funny story in itself.

Avett Brothers


Last month, I had the chance to photograph one of the hottest acts currently touring, the Avett Brothers. For this show, there was no opening act, just the main show. The stage was set very vintage/theatrical with a feel that reminds me of Needtobrethe, only more light (thankfully).

The main challenge for this show was to capture all the musicians with minimal room to move. Normally, I highly recommend that you move during shows to get different vantage points. This was an example of a show where that may not be possible so you work with what you have.





One of the unique qualities of this show was that the lighting from behind the artists was stronger than in front for most of the time. While this provided some challenges photography-wise, it also produced some surprising results like the shot below.


This was the last live concert show I have booked for a while and it was a great one. I'll be posting some recent wedding work next.
