My daughter is a true creative. She performs in improv groups, she writes, sews clothes and costumes, and she is interested in directing films. She participates in 48 hour film festival and she has even filmed a few small weddings with me over the years.

My wife is an artist and an Emmy Award winner who works with museums and public television. She makes a great companion in travel and life.

I was raised on cello lessons but guitar took over years later when my Dad taught me Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice". I write songs, record, make beats, and play open mic nights. Lately I reach for my mandolin more than any other instrument.

I love adventure. I've run with the bulls in Pamplona, hiked the Inka trail to Machu Picchu in Peru, visited Petra in Jordan, the Taj Mahal in India, the Pyramids in Giza, kayaked the bio-luminescence in Puerto Rico & been diving in the Red Sea. I love deserts and rain forests and also the woods behind my home. My favorite place to go camping is Fall Creek Falls here in TN.

I grew up on a farm in Santa Fe, TN and went to Father Ryan High School. I went to college at Ole Miss, MTSU and UT Knoxville where I took a photojournalism class that changed my life. I worked at Vanderbilt before going full time with photography.

I play a lot of soccer and softball in local adult leagues like NSL. In my version of a mid-life crisis sports are better than a sports car. I'm always on the lookout for tennis or workout buddies in the Franklin/Brentwood area.

I listen to audiobooks while I'm editing photos. I usually get through 40 per year. I'm always looking for recommendations and ready to dish them out. I tend to really love the Pulitzer Prize winners and my goal is to read all of them the old fashioned way. Lately I've become very interested in writing novels of my own.

I'm an Eagle Scout and I love the outdoors. Here I'm in Vail with my youngest brother Glennon.

More Than A Wedding Photographer

In addition to wedding photography I take on commercial, fashion, editorial, portrait, video and TV promo work. Without a doubt my experience with fashion, commercial and editorial work makes me a better wedding photographer. Some of my commercial clients tell me they can't believe how fast I work and I tell them it's because I'm a wedding photographer and I'm used to working in a time crunch. Wedding photographers know how to get something great in some truly terrible lighting situations. Commercial photographers know how to get striking, attention grabbing images and are prepared to be meticulous about the editing. Editorial photographers have to be able to support a story with images while avoiding anything that looks too contrived or over posed. Wedding photography is the most challenging but it is also the most rewarding. 

My commercial client list includes: Amazon, Lifetime, HGTV/Discovery Channel, The Grand Ole Opry, Trek (bicycles), The Nashville Symphony, The Frist Art Museum, Health Magazine, United Apparel Liquidators, Pierce Manufacturing, Compass (real estate), The Hermitage Hotel and AEG Live Events. My photos have appeared in print at Town & Country, The New York Times, Garden & Gun, Nashville Lifestyle, Bust, Rangefinder, People, and Southern Bride.
