A wedding day has come and gone.  It went beautifully and we are super pumped about the shots we know we nailed.  We get home, pop in the memory cards and offload the thousands of photographs onto a number of drives and then into the cloud.  Meanwhile music is playing throughout this entire process.  Once […]

When Allie + Ryan said they wanted their engagement photos done in Tallahassee I actually squealed with excitement. Working at ESPN has meant working a lot of college football Saturdays over the years and sadly, I had never taken my Ryan to my college town. He had heard the stories but never seen the sights. […]

As a wedding photographer I’ve attended a lot of weddings and I’ve noticed certain things repeating themselves, such as first dance songs.  And that’s OK.  There is nothing at all wrong with loving, and dancing, to a song that countless others have used.  What is important is that it means something to you.  The feeling it […]

Hello GP Family!! We love the getting ready portion of the wedding day. The air is filled with an anxious energy and hairspray, and that combo just gets us amped!! We know stress levels can run high during this portion of the day and you don’t want that to rule your wedding day memories (or […]

2015 was a fantastic year. It was our first full year in Charlotte, but was also our first full year shooting weddings. That second part may come as a surprise to some, but we are so happy with the progress we made and 2016 is setting up to be even bigger. Enjoy our look back!

Lacey and I have known Aaron and Emily for several years now, dating back to our days in the Arctic Circle (better known as Bristol, Connecticut) while working for ESPN. They got out [of Bristol] on good behavior and moved to sunny Florida. They came to Charlotte last June and we all reconnected at another […]

I was so excited when Amber reached out to us about doing engagement photos for her and Randy. She wanted some great photos of the two of them and their adorable morkie named Zoey. Then we found out they were also Mets fans and our destiny to end up friends was a done deal. Though […]

We committed to supporting Hayden’s Hope as our business New Year’s Resolution. 2015 has flown by and we are happy to say our support of this wonderful cause is going to continue into 2016, 2017, 2018, and well basically forever. We will continue donating 10% of the select family sessions we do and we have worked it […]

The year was 1998.  I was a tiny (and by tiny I mean 5’6″ 130lbs) freshman at Federal Hocking High School.  I didn’t know what to expect.  Timid and shy I largely just tried to stay out of the way.  That was until a group of Senior girls took me under their wings and befriended […]
