Mike and Stacey were married in sunny Gainesville, Florida at the Sweetwater Branch Inn, a beautiful bed and breakfast complex featuring two restored Victorian homes, a lovely garden, and Koi pond. The November weather was perfect. I enjoyed documenting their story and offer them best wishes on their life’s journey together!

We recently returned from Quebec City, which is celebrating its 400th anniversary this year. For seven days we strolled the streets of the old city, discovering its many wonders and meeting its polite, hard-working, and hospitable citizens. Quebecers have a unique history and culture dating back to the city’s founding by Samuel de Champlain in 1608. Much of the original French-style buildings still exist in the old city, and the French language and culture still prevail. The city is a delight for any Francophile. As an experiment, I left my pro gear at home and took along only a compact point and shoot (Canon G9) that I operated on manual.

Scott and Jessica exchanged vows at the beautiful Baughman Center on the University of Florida campus in Gainesville and held their reception at the Haile Plantation Country Club. It was a joy meeting all their friends and family, and I was thrilled and honored to document this milestone event in their lives.

I enjoyed looking through your work. Marlana and I look forward to hearing from you, if you are available, and a package price about her wedding to Scott next June.

We got out for a little recreation last weekend to see an international equestrian triathlon.
I saw my first polo match. The riding was very impressive, as there are a lot of quick transitions. And the riders control the horse with only one hand, since the other holds the mallet.
A polo field is 300 yards long, so the horses can really get moving.

Cross country event. These horses are amazing athletes.

Hi, Tabitha. Thanks for contacting me. I’ll reply to your e-mail address.
I’m fortunate to have such amazing couples drawn to my work. It was an honor to capture the joy and affection of this wonderful pair in engagement portraits. They are also wedding clients, and I can’t wait to photograph their upcoming event in June.

We stepped out the other night to Wild Iris Books / Wild Words Cafe to see a live performance by the local singer, songwriter, and guitarist Amanda Garrigues (end rhymes with Syracuse) who lays down a great groove. Her songs and melodies are alternatively moving, touching, and inspiring; her lyrics reflect a unique blend of poetry and philosophy; and her voice offers endless delightful surprises in tone, inflection, and phrasing.
Unlike some other “folk” artists, her guitar is right out front, ringing out beautifully crisp, tasteful, and melodic rhythms that serve as a friendly antidote to today’s over-produced, generic music that feels distant and sterile in comparison.
The simplicity, richness, and purity of her voice and guitar evoke power and independence, hope and optimism. Visit her website and give a listen.

I took on the challenge of a different genre for a day to provide portfolio images for a national model competition. I was working for Lacy who is a full-time university student, swimsuit model, and aspiring country singer being courted by a major recording label in LA. I’m sure that her amazing vocal talent, tenacious work ethic, and intense determination will set Nashville on fire some day soon.
