I want to know what other people do with their free time. Is it really great having a schedule and a 9-5 type of job with vacation time? I think that would be incredible. You go to work, you work, you come home and watch football. Or whatever you do. Set vacation time where you aren't worried about 10 million emails piling up and you're not thinking to yourself that maybe you shouldn't have turned work down just so you can sit around. I am very grateful for my ability to create my own schedule but it comes at a cost. Working for yourself means that you're never free. Sarah asked me why I always take on a new project the moment I get caught up and the only answer I could come up with is that I have to. I will never be satisfied that I've done my job as well as I can or that I've done everything I need to do to insure that I keep people coming back next year and the year after.
I'm not crying about it, I just wish someone would put a gun to my head and make me stop sometimes. That's probably what it would take.
Saturday was my first day off in months and it was a real treat. Sarah bought some sailing lessons through Groupon with Charleston Sailing School so we got out on the water for a bit. I have a new dream. Win the lottery, buy a huge catamaran and spend a few years exploring the caribbean. Or maybe I should just raise my rates. By about 500%. I'll give it some thought. More short term, it might be pretty cool to rent one and explore the British Virgin Islands for a week or so. If any one wants to split one (and you're not a huge pain to travel with) let me know. They're about 6-8g's per week and hold 6-8 people. I've got the itch for some clear water and a place without internet. Occupy Caribbean.

Amazing wedding. And even more amazing that I'm blogging again. I went through and pulled images from 20 weddings and a dozen shoots that I'll be blogging soon. The goal is two or three posts a week for the next few months.
Probably empty promises but we'll see.
Here's a quick one from today's wedding in Columbus.
Everyone who I haven't blogged yet, I'm sorry! I promise I'll get to you. I had some downtime today between the wedding and night shoot and thought I'd share an image...
I will have a ton of images to post from this one but I wanted to go ahead and give you guys a preview. Happy Monday...
Two of my favorite people and one of my favorite weddings of the year. Shot it in April. Delivered it in May. Blogged it in...... September. Wah wah wah. Sp?
This was an event that really made me love my job all the more. Thanks Will and Anna.
The insanely awesome wedding photography of timwill ... uh... wedding photography continues with Amanda and Thomas.
Just another head-to-toe / top-to-bottom perfect wedding. no big deal ;)
Here's a preview from Saturday's gorgeous wedding at the Legare Waring House here in Charleston.
Actually, 25 images is more like a post but I'm labeling it 'preview' because I just shot this on Saturday and I haven't had a chance to look through all of the images yet. I'm pretty sure there will be more I'll need to post :)
I don't normally post so many images because it gets too easy to just scroll through without letting any individual shots really sink in but I have to give you guys a few extra from this wedding.
Alex and Emily came in from England to get married in St. Simon's, GA a few weeks ago and I was very honored to be the photographer for this amazing wedding.
Benjamin is teething. And crawling.
They grow up so fast... lol.
Brian and Jennafer's savannah wedding was actually a while ago but it was just published on Style Me Pretty and it reminded me to share a couple of the images....
