Bartlett – a walk back in time

Another professional shoot – this time it was a wedding vows renewal for a very unique and wonderful couple. The Bartletts first met and danced at a civil war reenactment – well, not the battle but after during the dancing celebration and specifically the Virginia Reel. So ten years later after falling in love and marrying, they decided to renew their vows and hold a wedding ceremony at the same annual Battle of Rasca reenactment. The ceremony happened in the evening and everyone was not only dressed up but in character. Marie is also a fabulous seamstress and made her own dress and her husband’s Union Army uniform. There were people all around and I enjoyed capturing not only the moments of the wedding but the spectators and dancers. Enjoy.

Meg – In Light of These Regrets

Meg Gourley asked me to shoot one of her rehearsals for her premier performance of In Light of These Regrets. Meg also danced in Emma’s work previously posted I Hope We Never Land. This was a wonderful experience as an observer and it reinforced my preference to do environmental portraits, some of which you see here. I love capturing faces and expressions in the moment, as you see with the dancers after the rehearsal during notes.

Emma – I hope we never Land

October 2025 I had the privilege to photograph promotional photographs for Emma’s initial performance of her original piece What of this is mine to Keep – these are both portraits of the group, as well as shots from rehearsal and the initial performance at the art gallery. Later Emma reimagined it as I hope we never land and performed with her company at the Atlanta Fringe Fest. Here isn an article about that show: On memory, nostalgia and the eternal return of childhood: ‘I hope we never Land’ at the Atlanta Fringe Festival
