5 things to look for when hiring your photographer

5 things to look for when hiring your photographer

I get inquiries every week from brides and business owners looking for photography.  They know the details of what they want shot, and they know what they want after the event or shoot, but they don’t exactly know what they are looking for in a photographer.  Maybe this little blurb will help, and maybe it won’t, but I want to at least try to help you guys out.   Availability.  Sounds simplistic,…

Wiley's Championship BBQ

Wiley’s Championship BBQ

This morning I had a shoot at Islands High School and wrapped up just before lunch.  I was pretty excited about this as it gave me an opportunity to stop in at Wiley’s Championship BBQ, easily the best BBQ in Savannah, and likely the best BBQ in coastal Georgia.  I was surprised when I walked in because they expanded and basically doubled their footprint, and they were still busy.  I had the…

Wedding Stress | Savannah Wedding Photographer

Wedding Stress | Savannah Wedding Photographer

Brides have a lot of decisions to make about their wedding day, and it’s hard to define yourself in your wedding, partially because there are two of you.  There’s also the responsibility to make sure your guests have a great time, and enter stress! One of the easier things to choose is photographers.  Look at a few dozen websites, read some blogs to make sure someone isn’t a complete jerk and…

Food Photographer | Lone Pine Photography

I’ve never been one of this people that needs to take a picture of everything I eat.  Or even most things I eat.  Photography for me is about communication, and when I’m eating I’m much more concerned about tasting than I am communicating.  :)

But there are organizations that need solid quality food photography to help drive customers to try their business once or twice.  Images can do that.  I…

Kissing and pictures

Far be it from me to tell someone how to kiss in their privacy of their own home. Far be it from me to even suggest what feels best when kissing, but I will tell you what I think about your kissing visually in front of the camera and for all time in a wedding album or saved on the interwebs forever and ever…

  When you kissed for the very first time, you probably didn’t have any idea what it…

Life Well Spent- Not Photography Related

Life Well Spent- Not Photography Related

I was waiting to wake Lucas up this morning when I chanced to look at the calendar, and realized that I’ll be 40 years old in 20 days.  Crazy.   Absolutely crazy.  I still feel like the stupid kid surfing naked on a turned over table being pulled behind a bateau on Cocodrie Bayou in Lone Pine.  I’m not mature enough to be 40.  40 is OLD.  People that are 40 aren’t fun.  They watch tv in recliners…

What Your Engagement Pictures Say About You | Lone Pine Photography

There is a difference between not knowing and not observing proper etiquette. On one hand, the breaking of societal norms is akin to picking wild flowers in a mine field.  The poor uncouth soul has no idea they are about to lose a foot or a leg, they just know they are enjoying themselves picking the pretty flowers.  In direct opposition is the informed individual that occasionally plays in the…

Photography Price and Quality

Photography Price and Quality

I’m a firm believer in quality, and unfortunately, quality generally costs more than lesser services or products. Occasionally, a lack of quality passes for quality temporarily, like a knock off Rolex watch, but eventually it becomes apparent.

Which brings me to what I do. If you aren’t a student of photography, it’s sometimes hard to see the difference in one photographer’s work vs another’s.…

Savannah Elopement Photographer | Vow Renewal

Savannah Elopement Photographer | Vow Renewal

Angeila got in touch with me last year and told me her story, and why they were doing the vow renewals.  Married ten years, and they both dealt with a number of biological setbacks that crushed plans for their future, putting them both in depression that they’ve recently come out of.  Their lives are different than they thought they would be at this point, and that’s why they felt the need to do…

Savannah Commercial Photography | Georgia Port Authority Event

I had the pleasure of meeting with some state and local dignitaries when VP Joe Biden came to the port of Savannah today.  Some I was familiar with, while there were others I’d never met before.  The mayor of Atlanta was a great and approachable fellow,…
