We’re really not photographers as much as we’re storytellers. That’s why I like to start every wedding where the day starts: Make-up, hair, etc… By doing so we get a chance to get to know your wedding party while also documenting the start of the most important day of your life.

2009 was wild. After filming 68 wedding in 2009, we have made countless friends, memories, and timeless images. For the past month Devin and I have reviewed some of our favorite 2009 weddings images and wrestled the list down the top 20.
As with all of our work we were looking for images that caught moments, [...]

Got this film back today from Ben and Hollie’s wedding. This shot is a great example of how we shoot. Though this might look posed, I was literally between two bushes (that’s where the good light was!) just letting them chat.
I hope I get to film great moments like this from your big day!

“Charles I can’t even put into words how AMAZING the photos are! I audibly gasped the first time I saw them all… and about died when I saw we were the “face” of your website. [...]

Today’s wedding inaugurated a new era in the business. Not only was it one of the best weddings I have ever filmed, I used 6X6 instant Polaroid film for the first time with great success. Below is a scanned copy of one of the Polaroids from today:

Yesterday I received a little gem from KEH.com. It’s a Bronica SQ-Ai that shoots both medium format film and instant Polaroids. (Wedding clients, get ready for a few surprises!)
Here are a few I shot this morning at my parents house in Alabama. Can’t wait to use this at my wedding tomorrow!

This Louisville Kentucky wedding was, without doubt, one of the funnest weddings of my life.
Lindsey and Michael, you are amazing! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your wedding!

Tonight Devin and I took our wives to the ultra-classy Olive Garden restaurant for a little fun. Here is a little clip I took of them outside of the restaurant talking about how awesome we are (sarcastic?). For those camera junkies out there, I took this using a Canon 5D Mark II.
