You know how sometimes you do things as ministry and you end up being the recipient of blessings more than what you really feel you put into it? That's how Yvonne and I felt after leaving the WMHK Summer Kickoff Concert this past Friday. We had the opportunity to be a small part of the wonderful ministry of WMHK Christian radio & create some really cool photographs of the event featuring Rush of Fools and Matthew West. Christian music has changed by leaps and bounds since I became a Christian in 1982! The genre is now second to none in regards to quality of music - and of course the message speaks for itself. Here are a couple of MY favorite images. To see all the images click "here". Thanks to our friend and fellow Crossmark Church member Leanne Fishburne for allowing us to serve in this capacity.

If you haven't seen the video to the song "The Motions" it's an amazing testimony. It's my current life anthem.

Yvonne & I with Rush of Fools. Check out their video "Undo". Wonderful, Godly young men.

Wow, was it hot! Crowd didn't mind though. The best was yet to come!

Rush of Fools praying before going on stage. I like that......

We still have some session times available for our June 27-July 4 trip to the Litchfield Beach area!


You hear people often say "Where DID time go?" - I've said it myself. Tomorrow, Yvonne and I celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Other than giving my life to Christ, giving my heart to Yvonne Price 25 years ago was the best thing I've ever done. We married shortly out of high school so we were babies - We've basically grown up together! We're going to take tomorrow off from studio duties and enjoy being together. Here are a couple images from a long time ago!

Yvonne and I had the pleasure to photograph the wedding of Katie Bui & Jay Smith this past Saturday. It was a perfect weather day, great couple, great surroundings. Here are a few images from their wedding. Congratulations Katie & Jay!

Katie & Jay started their wedding weekend at the lovely Bloomsbury Inn in Camden














mmmmm....sushi!


Yvonne and I had a great day yesterday with our youngest son Thomas. We spent the afternoon touring the campus of the University of South Carolina. Although for business reasons we try to stay pretty neutral in the whole Carolina - Clemson debate, we are a bit partial to Carolina because 2 of 3 of our children will be Gamecock Alumni. Thomas plans on majoring in Political Science with an emphasis on Constitutional studies - and he will be minoring in music. Tom will have his feet held to the fire as the head of the Poli-Sci department is Dr. Dan Sabia, our daughter Amanda's father in law! From what I know of Dan, he plays no favorites and Tom will have to bring his A-game for the next four years! We are so very proud of all three of our children. Each have wonderful God given talents and I look forward to watching them become the adults we always hoped they would become!

Bunny weekend wrapped up a couple weeks ago - and it was fun as always! Here are a couple of my favorites.
