Aletha + Bo :: After-Wedding Portraits

Chris Moncus — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 17:30:03 +0000

Aletha and Bo were married in March in beautiful Hawaii. Since it was an elopement, they didn’t get to go through all the fun of engagement and wedding portraits. So a couple weeks after they were back we got together for this super-cool after-wedding session.

Ice cream makes every session more fun.

When I asked them “What’s something you guys do together?”, their response was “Angry Birds!”.

Golden Isles Magazine – March/April 2011 Article Photographs

Chris Moncus — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 14:39:25 +0000

We had the pleasure of photographing two very unique and inspiring women for the March/April issue of Golden Isles Magazine. The article, titled Phenomenal Women: A Celebration of Strong, Successful Women in the Golden Isles, is a look at five women from the area who are making a difference and making history. The two women we photographed for the article were Amy Broderick and Morgan Brian. The other three were by our buddy Sarah DeShaw. The layout is by their wonderful designer, Joe Loehle. Make sure you pick up your copy from one of the many local businesses that carry them.

Amy Broderick, the philanthropist, is a supporter of many local charities and causes. Her efforts have caused her to stand out in the community.

Morgan Brian, the athlete, is a high school soccer player at Frederica Academy. She has been named the number 1 high school player in the country by two different organizations. She also happens to attend the same church we do!

Right before Thanksgiving this year we joined the Searles family at Christ Church on St Simons Island for family portraits since all the family was together. It was a gift to the grandparents since it had been so long between family photos.

Getting Fit: Golden Isles Magazine Article Photoshoot

Chris Moncus — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 22:40:44 +0000

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.

Russ Hutto – A CrossFit participant featured int he article and friend of mine who is a great graphic designer.

Anna’s Headshots for Disney

Fun story behind this one. Anna is trying out for a singing and dancing part at Disney. Dunno about you, but I was totally impressed. She needed headshots to leave with the interviewers. I think they came out beautiful!

Good luck Anna!

Jimmy VanBoxel of Uberzoot Salon

Chris Moncus — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 05:55:41 +0000

Uberzoot is seriously the premier salon in the area. Never have Amanda and I had such a great salon experience. Jimmy, the owner and stylist of Uberzoot, is an amazing person to work with both as a stylist and client. Our first shoot with his kids that we blogged about before was so completely fun. This time was for Jimmy personally. We’re updating his profile images for some web and print needs coming up. Enjoy.
