A Bit of Tasty Refreshment for Amelia Island

Jun19

We just did a mini shoot this morning for our friends at AmeliaIsland.com. They were looking for a refreshing photo of the classic Southern beverage, sweat tea. Below are some of our favorite shots from the shoot – enjoy!

Dreambuilder’s Modern Take on the Classic Farmhouse

Jun17

Next up on our Catch-up Cavalcade is this gorgeous home from Dreambuilder Custom Homes. This modern take on the quintessentially American farmhouse takes elements of the traditional style and merges it with a modern flair. This was also the second house where we used our new elevated photography capabilities to capture the house from a variety of angles (such as the one above).

The modern farmhouse theme was carried indoors, where details like the farmhouse apron sink (above) captured that classic look. As with all Dreambuilder homes, this house came with all sorts of extras – from elegant storage solutions to little details that make a world of difference. As always, check out some of our favorite shots from this shoot below.

Celebrating the Heavy Haulers with Western Star

Jun17

After a week of catching up on wedding photography, it’s now time to spend the same effort on our commercial, architectural and fine art photography. And so… Once upon a time… the Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island was the host to a great group from Western Star. The company manufacturers and sells a variety of big rigs that are known for their toughness and durability. While in Amelia, the group celebrated the accomplishments of their top dealers while enjoying the amenities and attractions of award-winning island.

Below are some of our favorite shots from the shoot – enjoy!

Fine Art Follies – Thanksgiving in Appalachia

Jun11

If you were wondering just how behind we have become, this post, consisting of photos from a fine art shoot in November, should prove evidence enough! It was the week after this shoot that we discovered Bryn had breast cancer – and it has been a solid 6 months of business since then. Thankfully, Bryn’s prognosis is good and we were able to handle a couple large surges in business even with Bryn going through chemo. The months have been hard but fruitful – a blessing of sorts that we would never have asked for, but are thankful to have experienced.

But I digress. A bit about the photos: We went up to Abingdon, Virgina just before Thanksgiving to spend some time with family. As always, I take the opportunity of a trip to explore and shoot some fine art photography. This time, I focused on the old and dilapidated remains or homes and barns in hill country around Abingdon. One house that especially struck me was this once grand home, with full porch and substantial size, yet abandoned and falling in. It makes you wonder why a home is just left and abandoned. And this was just one of many homes along a short stretch of hilly back road suffering the same fate. Later on, we took a trip to Bristol Speedway to drive the track and enjoy their massive Christmas light display. Check out all our favorites from the trip below!

Celebrating Ten Years of Memories – Lesley & Victor’s Amelia Island Vow Renewal

Jun5

We had the wonderful opportunity to spend a few hours with Victor and Lesley as they celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary by renewing their vows. They chose the picturesque William House Bed and Breakfast, located in historic Fernandina Beach, for this very special occasion. On our shoot, we spent a bit of time in the sweltering afternoon sun downtown, then retired to the Williams House for some more pictures around their beautiful property. The evening was culminated in an intimate vow renewal ceremony, followed by a romantic carriage ride along the island’s historic streets.

Congrats Lesley & Victor! As always, check out all our favorite photos below!
