We just finished our new commercial for Trager Brothers Coffee. Here it is in all its silly glory. Also, I am starting to post my video work on our new website, powhatanstudios.com. Powhatan Studios is my new viral video company where I work with Jennifer Tidwell, Brian Wimer, and other local geniuses to bridge the gap between artistic creativity and shameless commercialism.

Chad is a Chef for Harvest Moon Catering here in Charlottesville, Virginia. I am good friends with Harvest Moon, so I wanted to make sure I photographed their wedding at Livearts and Second Street Gallery well. Sara was stunning, and Chad was looking fine himself. This was probably the lowest light ceremony I have ever shot, and I love the way it looks. There are two pictures that really stand out to me. One is the wide shot of the ceremony. Its so dark and intimate. The other is Sara and Chad getting ready. Both of them are separated by a thin wall, minutes from being married, and they can’t see each other. So romantic.

I had an amazing time in my Advanced Photo Class last weekend. The students who could make it braved a snow blizzard to take some amazing imagery. Here is some of the work we did. Photos by Joey Howington, Lucy O’Dell, Fred Perry, Shawn Ayers, Michael Johnson, Sam Baker, and myself. Note. I will be offering a make up class for my students who could not make it, and for anyone else who would like to take the course.

I met Gina and Gray in a meditation class, and we have stayed friends since then. Gina is a great photographer herself so I felt honored that she asked me to take her family’s portrait. You can see from the imagery how energetic and fun they are together. Note: no child was harmed in anyway during this photoshoot.

Courtney’s 8th grade school project this week was to intern at a local business. She was nice enough to choose mine, and even though this crazy weather caused some disruptions, she did an amazing job researching and helping me set up a photoshoot. Thanks Courtney.

Marylyle and Jordan’s Celtic and Jewish wedding was featured in the always cool Offbeat Bride this week. The Celtic/Unitarian/Sephardic traditions they drew from are a testament to what is possible with today’s weddings. I love how unique their wedding was, and I am honored to have been their photographer.
