Yeah, That Greenville Christmas in July

Nothing like a Christmas in July party to get folks excited. The folks from the Greenville Visitors Center brought snow, Santa and holiday music to the middle of downtown Atlanta. After entering the Switchyards event center through a flurry of snowflakes, guests were treated to holiday music, amazing food and drink, holiday music, Santa and one of his elves … and of course gifts for all.

I'm an Atlanta wedding photographer who takes soulful, quirky and honest photos ...

I'm also an adventurous traveler and all-round nerd. I love to hike with my beagle/cattle dog Roux and best friend/spouse.

I was born in Atlanta, moved around a lot--30 cities and 5 states--and then came back.

After graduating from the Art Institute of Atlanta, I took a job at asmall newspaper in south Georgia, where I photographedhospital teas, pecan farmers, and beauty queens.

I photographed a biker funeral, death penalty protests andTed Bundy while interning with the Associated Press.

While a photographer for two dailies in Florida, I photographed Ronald Reagan, a train derailment and the dedication of a screened-in porch.

An unexpected life turn took me to Vermont where I fell in love with Bernie Sanders and on to Indiana, where I edited photos for a major daily, and nerded out getting a master’s and PhD.

After teaching photojournalism at colleges and universities in Florida, Indiana and Mississippi, I returned to Atlanta to earn myfifth degree--a Master's of Divinity.

My passion for storytelling with my camera and my interest in religious diversity led my to the field of wedding photojournalism.

I have documented weddings large and small, Unitarian and Pagan, indoors and out, Christian and Muslim, in backyards and in churches. The most exotic wedding I have photographed took place in Mexico and was officiated by aMayan shaman.

When I'm not photographing weddings, portraits or corporate events, I work on personal photo projects, visit friends in amemory-care home, and volunteer at a recovery center.

Delta Leadership Fellows at Emory's Goizueta Business School

In 2017 The Delta Airlines Foundation gave Emory's Goizueta Business School $3.5 million to start a leadership development program where MBA students learn to coach by coaching their classmates.

The program continues today for students in day and night MBA programs.

Here are few favorite photographs from their recent awards ceremony. Yes, I took photos of each student posing with their award. But in true photojournalistic fashion, my real focus was on the bigger story.

CEO of Happiness Speaks at Merit’s EPIC Conference

One of the perks of photographing corporate events is leaving inspired after listening to a motivational speaker. After all, who can’t benefit from a great motivational speech.

Merit Financial hit the inspirational speaker jackpot when they brought in Chris Gardner, author or Pursuit of Happyness, and inspiration for Will Smith’s character in the movie of the same name.

My challenge as a photographer was to capture at least one signature shot showing Gardner with storytelling context, like the one above.

After that, I knew I needed some tighter shots of Gardner gesturing, so you can see he’s making a connection with his audience.

After the speech, I wanted photos of him interacting with his audience.

And, of course, evenone there wanted posed photos with Gardner.

If you’re looking for a corporate event photographer who’s hell bent on telling the story of your event, then give me a call or shoot me an email.

Proof of the Pudding Group Photo Session

The staff at Proof of the Pudding would like to wish everyone a happy holiday season.

Cheers!

POP-Staff-champagne

In early December, I was called in to take a group photograph for the front of the holiday card that Proof sent out this year. You can see the group photo of the staff (at least the staff who were there that day) at the bottom of this post.

After the big group shot, Chef Vagn wanted a few photos of his fellow chefs.

While at their fabulous new corporate office in West Midtown, I was also asked to photograph members of their staff at work. Here are a few of my favorites:

The all-star crew at Proof of the Pudding put together an all-American menu for the guests attending the New Flyer Reception at the World of Coke earlier this week.

Here are a few of our favorite event photographs starring Proof of the Pudding's food.

If you still had room after the biscuit station, you could've moved on to the Bar-B-Que, where in addition to Bar-B-Que short ribs, you could find an awesome fried green tomato creation, or some gourmet macaroni and cheese.

Martin Luther King Day Parade 2015

My best man Manuel Llaneras and I headed downtown today to document the Martin Luther King Day Parade. Unfortunately, I was not as prepared as I should've been. The extra battery I brought for my Fuji camera -- the one that was on the battery charger and I assumed was charged -- was dead. So, after shooting less than 75 frames, I had to switch to taking photographs with Manuel's iphone.

On a positive note, before the battery conked out on me, I was able shoot the equivalent of two rolls of 36 exposure film, which is more than I shot on lots of newspaper assignments I covered.

Here are few favorites from my Fuji X100.
