The highlight of my winter!

He has been called "the great wedding photographer of our day" by Town and Country and "the finest wedding photographer of his generation" by Photo District News. Denis Reggie, the legend, opened up his home in Atlanta, for 8 of us to come and learn from him. It was truly a remarkable three days for me!

I can point to Denis Reggie as a great inspiration for my love of capturing weddings in a photojournalistic style. Back when I finished my undergrad degree in Photography, I remember seeing that famous photograph of Carolyn and John Kennedy coming out of the chapel that he took and I said to myself, "If I can photograph weddings in that candid way, I will do it." Thankfully, Mr. Reggie paved the way for photographers to capture the true story of a wedding day by observing, not intruding, and coining the phrase "wedding photojournalism."

He is an amazing man. For someone who has achieved so much, he is also incredibly humble. Needless to say, this was the highlight of my year so far, as I have wanted to spend time learning from him in a small group for at least 10 years. Thank you, Mr. Reggie, for your incredible hospitality and for sharing your wisdom! You are a remarkable man!

Something sparkly

Valentine's Day is coming up and it reminded me of how much fun it is to be engaged! For those of you out there who are engaged, congratulations and remember, it is okay to stare at your new ring at the most random of times :)

Erin and Sedberry

How cool do those names sound? And to make it even better, their last name is Olive (which Erin admittedly told me makes her long for a dirty martini when she hears it)! This girl is hilarious, by the way, and has become one of my new favorite people to keep in touch with. These two were so much fun, as you can tell in the photographs.
