Love strikes without warning, and sometimes that means City Hall weddings happen on short notice. Tara and Peter contacted me just a few days before their ceremony. They had just two attendants with them, because their wedding was happening in secret, and it was to be revealed to family and friends at a big reception…
Last week I received a beautiful thank you note from Allison and John. I love my job! 🙂
What an amazing time I had with this gorgeous couple from Charleston, South Carolina! See how John’s pointing at me in that first photo? He’s saying to Cynthia Gregory, the lovely wedding officiant, “Yeah, that guy with the cameras is going to be our witness.” What an honor granted to a photographer! Meanwhile, the mini-heat…

Inside, we explored light, texture, and all of the different tableaus that City Hall offers up on a busy weekday. When we stepped outside to play in front of the building, it was obvious that autumn was upon us.…
