on may 30th i had the privledge of photographing the wedding of Julie and Evan Magill. their ceremony was at the raleigh rose garden and little theater and their reception was at their house. it was an absolutely beautiful wedding with the bride and groom being a really adorable couple. i am so thankful to have photographed the wedding of this amazing couple! julie, evan, and their guests made the wedding a blast.

it was also a privledge to work with reverend barbara lodge at the ceremony. her service was gorgeous and reflected the love between julie and evan perfectly. to learn more about rev. lodge’s services, please visit her website at http://www.ncweddingminister.com. she also runs a great blog that updates all of her travels and events.

another professional i worked with at the wedding was DJ stephen scott (not related to my dad of the exact same name). :) stephen was great and brought the party to the reception with the music. he was very organized and friendly and made things run very smoothly. to learn more about stephen scott and his services, please visit http://www.showproevents.com.

it was great to network and meet all these awesome people. i can’t wait to do it again! :) my favorite shots of the day are, of course, in the portfolio section of my website.  please check them out. here are some more from the day and some bridal shots julie and i shot a few weeks before the wedding:

also – super awesome terrific thanks to geoff for getting the ordering system on my website up and running so that my clients can purchase their prints easily. you are the best! it will soon be attached to my fine art section as well. horray! :)

geoff went to blue flame tattoo in raleigh last week and got his first tattoo.  it’s a visual representation of the golden ratio and fibonacci sequence (read about it here.) matt mebane did his tattoo and also allowed me to be annoying by taking some photographs. he did a great job. geoff said it was pretty much painless… equating it to scraping yourself with the tip of a mechanical pencil. hmm.

the space between the spiral and the triangles will be colored in this fall… he’s found it extremely difficult to not go swimming while it heals. :)

also… after buckles turned 1 year old, he matured instantly and grew a mustache:

:) we went to the handmade festival at marbles museum last weekend and got several catnip mustaches for the boys. maisonwares made them and you can buy one here. buckles, who i’m pretty sure came close to overdosing on catnip before, loves it. dolfy is rather disinterested and still prefers clawing up the carpet and yelling at everyone.
