Landscapes of Biloxi | Biloxi, MS

Welcome to another blog post!!! I'm happy to tell you about something I have been planning for awhile. I've been doing alot of traveling lately, some for vacation some for work. No matter where I go tho I'm always shooting. One thing I have always been passionate about is beautiful landscapes. Now more than ever i try to take beautiful shots of the places I travel to. 

With that being said I'm starting 2 new ongoing projects. The first one will be a collection of images of landscape photography from various locations that I travel to and people will be able to purchase high quality prints of various sizes of these images. This collection of images will be release soon and as mentioned will be an ongoing project. So be on the look out for that!

The second project is  a video series mostly of aerial video of the places I travel. Below is the first video of this series. Last week while I was doing some filming for a client in Biloxi, MS I took some time to get some drone shots of the Biloxi coastline and of Deer Island. I hope you enjoy!

Ballet Magnificat Performance!

Let me start by saying I hope all are having a great year so far! I truly meant to blog more than this and to show you what awesome clients I have and fun projects I get to be part of. To start things off as the first blog of this year I'd like to share a snippit of an event I filmed last month and Thalia Mara Hall in Jackson, MS. This event featured many performances but one that truly kept the audience attention was the ballet performance by Ballet Magnificant. Ballet Magnificant is a local ballet school founded in 1989. More info on them can be found at http://www.balletmagnificat.com/

Micah & Tenee (Hammond, LA)

Several months ago I was privileged to do their engagement session and we had such a great time! Basically we spent a nice Sunday afternoon shooting pictures while drinking wine in the garden at the Old Capital Inn, which is an elegant bed and breakfast hotel located in Jackson, MS. It's also a wonderful place to have a wedding and reception too! You can see some of the images from that engagement shoot at the bottom of this post.

HAPPY Tuesday!!! So today I couldn't wait to show some of the images I captured at the wedding of two of my closest friends, Micah & Tenee, a couple of weeks ago. They truly are a cute couple that compliment each other very well as you will see in these images of their special day!

After that wonderful experience I wanted soooo badly to be their photographer for the wedding but I couldn't because I was 1 of  2 best men in the wedding. But that didn't stop me from capturing a few special moments during their wedding. So without further ado here are their images!

And Her's.......
