An old friend of mine, Leslie Jeter, wrote an article for the current issue of Golden Isles Magazine called Getting Fit. It profiles 5 individuals in our area who are getting fit in their own ways. She called on me to photograph the individuals for the article at East Beach on St Simons Island.
Three of the people profiled are friends of mine and – along with Leslie – are involved in CrossFit. Earlier in the summer when we had more time we participated in their training and boy did we see improvements right away! I look forward to the slow-down of the fall and hope we can get involved again.
Though only four pictures were used in the article, several more were taken and I thought I’d show those to you all as well for the fun of it.
Pick up your copy of Golden Isles Magazine around town. I’d suggest Wake Up Coffee.

How can a bride NOT have a beautiful Jekyll Island wedding? This small island is one of the best places in the world to get married. The wedding was set on the lawn overlooking the ocean under Jekyll’s majestic oaks. Daisies in mason jars and accents of green and yellow throughout gave a fresh elegance to the day.
Love and happiness were evident on each of their faces as they saw each other for the first time. A sweet ceremony continued as they appeared lost in excitement and emotion.
The ceremony was followed by a rockin’ reception where the dance floor was filled the entire night. These families definitely know how to throw a great party and dance the night away.
If you haven’t already seen their Christmas engagement photos from last year, you should go check them out. We are so happy that we got to share the excitement of their celebration.
Erinn and Ryan, we wish you the best!

Amanda and I arrived a few minutes early at the St Simons Island lighthouse for the engagement session. As we were getting our gear ready we noticed that the pool next to us was being cleared. Then we saw lightning in the distance. You couldn’t even see Jekyll Island though the rain that was coming our way. We had to make the dreaded call to postpone the session. Drat! We were sooo looking forward to it.
So instead, Amanda had the idea to invite Natalea and Ryan to dinner and hang out a bit since we were all out anyway. After some bang-bang shrimp and great conversation at Bonefish Grill we walked outside to a clearing sky but fading light. Half joking I suggested we take some photos. Ryan loved the idea so we hurried over the beach right as twilight was approaching.
I’m glad we did.
In the next 30 minutes or so we had a blast capturing these two who so apparently love each other. I’m looking forward to their makeup session next month that WILL have clear skies. But until then, here’s what we got last night.
