Beauty in the Details

Three weeks after the celebration, and I'm just now having an opportunity to shoot some of the details of Sara's wedding.  A much needed return to the camera!

One of my favorite details: EJ's handwriting circa 2000

Traditions:  Pinson Cousins Loving Cup began with Raina & Stephen in 2015, and the tablecloth from Goose was used at our wedding in 1989 and covered the wedding cake table at Sara's & EJ's; the book of historic churches includes our family's ancestral Mt. Enon Church and Cemetery; handkerchiefs embroidered for the wedding will be passed on

 In a Nutshell
I have a deep appreciation for tradition, and my desire to preserve memories through photography grows stronger day by day.

A Whirlwind Winter

The first quarter of 2018 has come and gone, and what a whirlwind it has been!  Wedding planning took center stage.  With just 90 days from proposal to "I do," we kicked planning and preparation into high gear immediately.

Minimal time to concentrate on photography limited my supply of worthy images, but here are nineteen of my favorites from Winter 2018:

January 2018 snow
