I want to thank my talented friend Hugh “Hug” Forte for having me along to photograph this day with him. Music by Goldmund.
My friend Eric Yerke invited me to join him in the wild wild south east of the US (actually the southern most point in the Continental US) to document Zack and Nicole’s wedding. Shooting these two was a dream come true. They treated Eric and I like family from the moment we met them and it was just an incredible experience to see and document their love for each other. It means so much for us as photographers to walk up to a couple and be handed complete trust to tell their story. Thank you Nicole and Zack for doing just that.
Working with Eric was also quite the awesome experience. We had a few days to wander and take in the scene. The funny thing is, we both couldn’t think of anything better or more exciting to do than take photographs constantly. We spent days just exploring the city and the people. This truly is our passion. So hats off to my friend Eric who absolutely loves what he does and it shows in his work. Thanks again for having me my friend.

Music by my favorite artist of all time Jeff Buckley. Twelfth of Never is actually a cover of a Johnny Mathis song but Jeff always added a special touch to any song he touched.

I recently hit the city and shot with my good friend Heather. She had a shoot with the awesome Jeff and Lisa and I came along just to keep these rusty eyes and arms going until the wedding season starts again.
I already miss shooting, but taking this time to step back and reflect on what I want to do and where I want to go has been amazing. I’m definitely looking to try several “new things” in the coming year.
This shoot also gave me a chance to get to know and see how Heather works as she will be helping me as a dedicated 2nd shooter next year. I simply love her vision and am looking forward to seeing her fresh perspective. So happy we meet each other.
Here are a few of the things I witnessed on this beautiful foggy day.

It started with the best man’s speech, followed by a slideshow.
As the slideshow came to an end, Ryron’s brother announced that there was still a special surprise for Victoria. He began to play a video. As the scenes unfolded, you could see the puzzled expression on Victoria’s face.
What she was watching was the movie of when Ryron had proposed to her, filmed by Ryron’s brother. The only thing is, she never knew this video existed. He had been able to keep this a secret from her all this time. The movie showed Ryron asking for Victoria’s hand in marriage and then his attempts to cue his brother to move in closer for a better shot while he hugged her.
The entire place broke out into tears and laughter. Victoria leaned into Ryron and held him as the movie came to an end.
It’s impossible to describe the feeling I had when all this happened. It was a moment I will never forget.
