Engagement Party

2011-01-12T12:32:30-04:00

A coworker threw his younger brother an engagement party on his roof deck and I was asked to photograph the events of the night. One lens rental and some test photos later, I was ready to capture some sunset memories with the Charlotte skyline in the background. Although I could have been more thorough, I [...]

Wilgus Wedding

2011-01-12T12:32:37-04:00

Attended the wedding of a couple college friends. Held midday in the historic little town of Hillsborough, the ceremony and reception embodied a sense of tradition. At the Ayr Mount, a classy mimosa and buffet lunch provided a good environment for celebration and reminiscing about the college days of the past. Later that night, some [...]

Down in Charleston for a wedding. Although the wedding didn't provide much opportunity for me to photograph it, walking around the city provided ample opportunity. The weather couldn't have been better with the exception of the high temperatures. Staying at a friends high rise apartment on the peninsula also aided in our touristic ventures. It [...]

Lake Gaston

2011-01-12T12:56:03-04:00

Back up to Ian's lake house for more fun and frolic. I'm definitely getting better at wake boarding and jet skis are as fun as usual. Although the weather wasn't as warm at times as we would have liked, it was still an excellent trip with lots of water based fun. Ian's parents got to [...]

With a week at the Samoset Resort at our disposal and a family reunion to attend in Maine, we flew in and spent the first few days in the Oxford Hills area. Following the reunion, we took off for Rockland and Samoset. There we went to the Lobster Festival, checked out the towns of Camden [...]

Independence Day

2016-11-24T12:45:32-04:00

As a surprise to Janis, I suggested we head to the North Carolina outer banks for the 4th. Being such late notice, I was only able to find suitable lodging at the Comfort Inn in Nags Head. I had barely remembered staying there as a 16 year old and it wasn't that bad. I have [...]

DC/Baltimore

2011-01-12T12:54:56-04:00

As a last hurrah to Jay living in DC, we went up there and spent a day in our nation's capital before heading up to Baltimore for another couple days. Lots of sightseeing was on the itinerary in both cities which resulted in lots of walking. The National Cathedral was a surprise in it's authenticity [...]

The Arlington

2011-01-12T12:54:17-04:00

Scored a sweet tour of The Arlington, a 24 story condo tower in the Southend district of Charlotte. The views from the roof were pretty amazing, even though it was really hazy the day we were up there. [view-the-gallery galleryaddress="The Pink Building"]
