Hey everyone. Thanks for checking our blog. We are having some web server issues with our blog and hope to be back up soon.

I have eleven (11) great weddings still to post so be sure to check back soon. I will be working on getting them all posted over the next month or so.

Thanks again and we hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year’s holiday.

Congratulations to Zach Johnson for winning the 2007 Masters Tournament. I got this shot of Zach on Wednesday during the Par 3 Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. Check out the belt!

Becki and I attended the Professional Photographers of SC annual convention last week. It’s a great learning experience for photographers. We attended seminars of some the top portrait and wedding photographers in the country and learned how they photograph and run their businesses. There was also a statewide print competition and Becki and I did very well. Here are the highlights:

Becki had a print that scored high enough to earn a Merit in the Children’s Portrait category.

Becki and I both submitted a wedding album that earned a Merit and was the second highest scoring wedding album.

Becki and I both submitted a baby album which featured a maternity session, coverage of the birth, and then a newborn photo session in our studio. It was the highest scoring album at the convention and earned a Merit, a Distinguished Award and the Best Family Album award.

I had a portrait of a senior that earned a Merit as well as a Distinguished Award. I also had a children’s portrait that earned a Merit.

The crown jewel was a wedding image that I entered in the Wedding Candid category. It earned a Merit, Best Wedding Candid, Best of Wedding/Event and the Fuji Masterpiece Award for Wedding/Event.

At the end of the competition they recognized the top 10 photographers in the state. Becki ranked 7th and I ended up 4th.

Feel free to stop by the studio and see the albums and prints we entered.

This was our first weekend off in months! My mom and sister had a huge birthday party Saturday night complete with a Luau theme. They practically dared us to book a wedding for this weekend.

Here are a few pics:

The birthday girls. Leigh Anne turned 30 and mom turned…. (let’s just say my mom was 30 when Leigh Anne was born)

Just a little bit of advice. If you let me know you don’t want your picture taken, I just might take several! (Kelly)

My cousin Chuck and his wife Jennifer. They announced at the party that they are expecting their first child. Congratulations!

My cousins Wes and Wade. I think Wade rode the short bus to school.

Wow! What a wedding. Rachel and Lance were married on June 24th in Kershaw. Most everyone in the wedding went to Clemson and even The Tiger showed up! Here are some of my favorites:

On family vacations, Lance’s family always took a group shot with everyone doing the Toyota jump. Oh what a feeling!

Congratulations Rachel and Lance!

Success! The new site went live around 8pm tonight. What a relief. I have been working with the designers on it for the past two months and they did a super job.

Deciding on which images to put on the site was very difficult. Almost all of the content was taken within the past three months because I wanted to give everyone a representation of our latest work. There are even some images from this past weekend’s wedding (6/24/06).

There may be some broken links from the old website while I move all the movies and album designs over. Let me know if there is something you need from the old one and I’ll get it moved over.

Take a moment and give me some feedback via the comment link below or email. Seriously, good or bad, let me know what you think of the site and the images.

Thanks!
Clark

Hey! Thanks for stopping by. I’m Clark and my wife and I are wedding photographers in South Carolina. I recently started this blog to let our clients and future clients know what we’re up to and to keep them updated with fresh new images. After a wedding or session we will select a few of our favorites and post them here.

It should be a lot of fun and will force me to keep fresh content on the site. Clients will also get a sneak peek at their images before we deliver the entire collection.

Let me know what you think!

Clark
