More flying from Joe and I. Sorry this is a real short post, photos only. Enjoy.

Dustin and Joe over at “Design Graphics” had me come out tonight to photograph the vehicle they just finished print wrapping. Dustin and Joe worked really hard together to design this layout for the mother of Jessy Rogers, a soldier whose life was lost while serving our country. Thanks to these guys, Jesse will be remembered by everyone. Great work you two and may our thoughts be with Jessy’s Family as they embrace everyday.

As I mentioned in a previous post, Mark and I go way back. We spent lots of time together throughout middle school and high school playing video games and causing trouble. Now that we’re adults, it’s really exciting to see our lives change and progress. Keri and Mark got together right after I moved away from Charleston. Although I wasn’t there to see their relationship develop, now that I’ve seen them together, I know they are surely perfect for each other. I’m very glad that you brought me down to celebrate your wedding with you. Thanks Keri and Mark! I know you will love your pictures!

Today I spent most of the day walking around downtown. I wasn’t really looking for anything in particular, just enjoying the walk and taking a ton of photos as always. Here is another glimpse of what historic Charleston is looks like. My previous posts of downtown Charleston: South Carolina P1, South Carolina P2

Today, I decided that I would take the day and go flying. Although I’m only learning how to fly at this point. I was able to fly the plane once we were up in the air. We flew over downtown Charleston and out over-top the ocean. The lighthouse you see in the picture is the Morris Island Lighthouse, which played a sufficient role in the American Civil War. The winds were surprisingly calm with semi-clear skies, it was a great first time flying in Charleston.

This is Lucas and Emily. Although this wasn’t a real photo-shoot, they are a very real couple. On the second day of my trip, Chris, James, and I were brainstorming ideas for the evening and landed on the idea of taking some photos in downtown Summerville. We called a few different friends, Lucas and Emily ended up being the only ones available on such short notice. Regardless we packed up the gear and headed to Main St.

Here are the images we captured; I love the way the camera makes the Christmas lights in the background appear. It’s like magic.

This week I’m going to be back down in South Carolina for another destination wedding. One of my really old friends from high school randomly stumbled onto my website while searching for wedding photographers. He immediately picked up the phone when he realized it was me. After working out all of the details for the wedding, plane tickets were purchased and I was on my way to shoot his wedding.

I arrived in Charleston on Wednesday evening. Whenever I arrive, its a small tradition to head to the beach and walk along the coast. Alaska is gorgeous but there is something about the beach that always pulls me back to it. It was a lovely evening and after I was able to get some dramatic images of the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge glowing in the foggy sunset.

Today was my first time flying with Joe! It was spectacular! Joe flew out from Anchorage to pick me. Right after, we headed out to the Knik Glacier for a couple passes through the valley. Although the skies were a little cloudy, it turned out to be very pretty, not to mention that there was absolutely no wind. Joe and I have more plans of flying all over the place. I must say that flying is the absolute best way to see Alaska. Check out the huge glacier, just so you know, were about 500ft up in this shot.

This Thanksgiving was pretty awesome because I got to experience a whole different world. In the past, I’ve always spent the Holidays with my family. This year I decided to have Thanksgiving dinner with some of my friends, Joe, Brook, Nick, and Madelin. Basically all of us enjoyed the day by talking, playing videos games, eating, and playing multiple games of  “Apples-to-Apples” (which Joe ruled at). The food was great, especially for free! Joe and Brook scored a free turkey because they spent loads of money at the store just to get the thing, was it really free? Who knows? It was delicious though, I guess that’s all that matters. All of us had a great day, I hope everyone else had the same just as we did. Enjoy the rest of your Holiday everybody!

Saturday evening Nick and I headed over to the Von Imhof’s house and took some family photos for their Christmas cards. We got there just as the sun was setting and were able to get some nice twilight sky photos as well. When we were all too cold we headed in and got some more photos next to the fireplace. What a beautiful family! They were all so nice and great to work with. Even their dog was super photogenic!
