One thing about photojournalistic photography that I have always found intriguing  is that we recognize and capture the moments we see without necessarily ever knowing the story behind them.  We can see that a moment is significant by the emotion present, but may never know what it was that caused the emotion.  Sure, sometimes it…

Wedding season is back in full swing!  Here’s a wedding a shot this past weekend at the Country Club of North Carolina in Pinehurst.  My couple, Celia and Nick, actually live in Washington D.C. and were doing all of their planning long distance with the help of Celia’s family.  I can definitely relate as David…
