Busy, Busy...

The last couple of weeks have been really busy and my blog has suffered for this. I have had several family shoots and weddings along with picking up 4 clients who need web pages. We have our last wedding of the year this Saturday then Kirstin, the boys and I will be heading to Florida for Christmas. Not to mention our youngest son has his birthday this Friday....whew...

Hopefully I will be able to get a few shots up before we head out...

13th Anniversary...

Kirstin and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary on November 11th. Over the last 2 years or so Kirstin has been very hard on her iPod...it was thrown away accidentally, has been dropped, fell into water and kicked. I sent it off to be fixed and the estimate was not worth it. Instead of getting a regular iPod I decided to get her one of the new Nanos...Man this thing is small and light! It has 8 gigs of memory and comes in several new colors. Kirstin wanted purple. If you order one online they will engrave it for free..

Mistaken for a Bartender...

So Mike and I photographed a wedding on Sunday that was a total blast. Everything went well and everyone was great to work with. Now at the reception I took a moment to sneak over to where the drinks were to pour myself a nice cup of Diet Coke. As I poured my drink a guest pushes three cups towards me and asks me to please fill her cups with ice. I know I had a confused look on my face which was unintentional, but I obliged and found the ice for her. Something funny like that seems to happen at every wedding we go to. Sorta like the time Mike got pulled over...

Awesome Gift Baskets...

I found a Charleston based gift basket store online the other day and I must tell you that they have some awesome stuff! The website is http://www.seasidegiftbaskets.com/. They have baskets for every occasion like a new baby, girlfriend/wife, weddings, etc. They are reasonably price too! You can not order online just yet but you can view their inventory and make a call to the owner to place your order. Check out the Taste of Charleston section while you are there!

At Yesterday's Wedding...

Mike and I had some time before yesterday's wedding to get a few shots of us. This rarely happens but I think we got some pretty good stuff. I'll post some more later but here is one of Mike on the church steps...looking pretty sexy (at least that is what he said).

Brinson Wedding...

We shot another great wedding on Sunday..Here is one of my favorite shots:

Awesome Wedding...

Mike and I shot a fantastic wedding in Mount Pleasant on Sunday. The two families were great and the ceremony was awesome. Here are a few:

Walking Around Summerville..

I went walking around downtown Summerville today and happened across this little creature. He was running around someone's fenced in front yard without a care in the world.

I also happened by one the the best floral shops around called On A Limb. They are located on Short Central St. right next to the new parking garage. If you need any type of floral arrangement or neat gift idea stop in and see them! I met the owner, Heidi, who was wonderful! Stop in when you get a chance!
