The Sweeney Family | Charleston, WV Family Photographer

When I photograph a family, I try to tell their story.  I want to capture their likenesses, yes, but even more than that, I want their personality to shine so brightly that they can look at their photographs and scream "Yes! That's us!" 

I didn't have to try very hard with the Sweeney family.  This super awesome "pose" was all theirs and shows how much fun they are!  I had a blast with their session, but this one single image really says it all.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Chelsea and James | Huntington, WV Wedding Photographer

When it comes to taking great photos, weddings are a guilty pleasure of mine. Every wedding is so different, so unique and representative of the bride and groom for which it exists.

I don't shoot many weddings. They're stressful creatures and definitely more work intensive than a typical family session. But there's something about the relationship between a bride and her photographer. Surely, these are the two people who get why the all the little details have to be just so. Because at the end of the day, if it all comes together, you get a little bit of magic, and more love than will fit in the viewfinder of a camera.

I was honored to photograph my good friend and coworker's wedding this summer. The charming event was overlfowing with the most darling DIY touches, all created by the bride and her family.

Here are a few of my very favorites from their special day...
