Bluefin Redemption
got a text at 9pm thurs from drew asking if i wanted to go bluefinning at 430 friday morning. gotta take advantage of the windows of the relatively calm seas in the winter when the bluefin tuna are around. was time for redemption after getting skunked on monday. the wind didn’t let up as forecasted, so it was pretty sloppy most of the day, 4-5 ft at 5 seconds, but it didn’t matter cause bluefin were thick. saw 80-90 inchers swimming in the waves and 50 ft thick marks most of the day . unbelievable. hooked up on an 82 incher after about 10 minutes of trolling and i faught that one for 45 minutes. my biggest fish yet…very stoked. 30 minutes later we hooked up again but lost that one close to the boat. 10 minutes later the 130 is screaming again. craig battled the one below for about 2.5 hours. yea thats two and a half hours. matt did a great job keeping the boat positioned over the fish the whole fight so we didn’t lose it. heres a few photos i took of craigs fight and he and drew securing the fish. photos don’t do the size of the beast any justice. both of em were almost 7 ft long and around 400 lbs making them quite challenging to get into a rocking boat. labor of love. they will sell for about 5 grand to the japanese. not a bad way to make a few thousand bucks. Season closes tmrw.

Golden Hour, Jennettes Pier
Here is the view from the 2nd floor of the Jennettes Pier house, one of my new favorite places to shoot weddings. This was one of the most beautiful evenings for a wedding and the sky couldn’t have been more photogenic. Love how the golden light is hitting the pier against blue sky and dark clouds and there’s hardly a ripple on the ocean. Sunsets really are better in the fall. Check out more of my photos from Megan and Cory’s wedding in the Outer Banks Wedding Guide.
Skunked
Went bluefin tuna fishing today. They slayed em yesterday. Everyone goose egg’d today. What a difference a day makes. Never know unless you go. Still a beautiful day on the water and it ended like this.

Meghan & William
Photographed Meghan & Williams engagement session on Tuesday. The weather was about as good as it gets for this time of year. We were a little nervous as it was pouring rain and cloudy all day on Monday, but it cleared up and was beautiful Tuesday. They were a lotta fun to work with and made my job easy. Looking forward to photographing their wedding in October.
An Ode to Hitchcock
Photo taken from my standup paddle board earlier today. My new fav thing is paddling out a mile or 2 and looking for things to photograph. Today it was thousands of birds off hayman street.
