I’ve been tagged! There is game of e-tag going on with loads of photographers all over the world - my good buddy Kevin Jairaj just got me!

So here’s how it works; I have to list 8 things about myself that my blog-stalkers probably don’t know. After that, I nominate 8 other photographers to share their hidden-secrets as well.

On to the scoop!

Thing 1: I was born in England, near the city of Oxford.
Thing 2: I speak German (and lived in Germany for almost 2 years). Okay, my grammar is horrible and I understand a whole lot more than I speak now, but I used to speak, read, and write the language pretty well!
Thing 3: I was voted “Most likely to be taking rehearsal notes” in high school choir because I never brought my music folder.
Thing 4: I would LOVE to own an Infiniti FX. Really. I would love that.
Thing 5: I absolutely love Italian food!
Thing 6. I have a nursing background, and worked on CRMH 5-West (Med. Surg.) when we first moved to Roanoke.
Thing 7. I am the youngest of six kids. Yup…6!
Thing 8. I love Apple products. I love iTunes and have an iMac G5, an iBook G4, Leah and I both have iPod’s, and I would like an iPhone, and an Apple TV.

So who’s next? Let’s see, how about

P.S.
I haven’t forgotten about all of my loyal readers and kept you in suspense unnecessarily…something new is coming! Promise.

On Saturday, September 8, I photographed Michael & Jamey’s great destination wedding!

So the big question is where was it?

The answer…next week.

Just kidding! They had their wedding at the beautiful Claytor Lake State Park. We had beautiful weather and a great time.

Without further delay…enjoy your images!

P.S.
It really was a destination wedding as I had to drive an hour to get there (actually most of my weddings are a few hours away)!

The beautiful bride

Cool flowers! It was nice to have something different

As many of my clients do, they saw each other prior to the ceremony…

Which enabled me to capture this great expression when he saw her!

The guys making fun of Michael

The handsome groom

My take on a “ring shot”!

I love this image!

I love their reflection on the water, coming through the trees

No beach wedding is complete without sandals!

The relaxed atmosphere matched their personality perfectly!

Hey Blog-Stalkers,

I didn’t forget you! I’ve been packing out albums and print orders all afternoon and I am now on my way to a session for the amazing wedding coordinator, Greg Beecher.

I’ll post the wedding as soon as I get back!

Best Wishes,
Michael

Stay tuned to the blog, because on Monday there will be a HUGE post with loads of tasty images from this destination wedding!

Any guesses where we were?

You’re curious now aren’t you?!

About a week after I shot Justin & Jennifer’s engagement session, I had the pleasure of shooting Jennifer’s bridal session!

We lucked out on the weather because even though there were supposed to be storms all day, we had great weather!

Enjoy your images!
