The Photographers I Know and Enjoy

So, you may have noticed I have three photographer friends listed of on that left sidebar. Let me tell you a little about each of them...

Rich Coleman is a long-time friend of mine from the OBX. Beyond becoming a very talented photographer, Rich is also a great guitar play, and he and I have spent countless hours playing together. Rich is a junior at Liberty University and is beginning to receive several of offers to shoot for some pretty well known Christian "celebrities", including Casting Crowns.

David Molnar is also an old acquaintance from the OBX. Although I haven't seen David in several years, he and I also grew up hanging in similar circles. I was stoked to find his website about a year ago, and even more stoked to see that he has become one of the most incredible photographers you will ever see. David and his wife spend most of their time traveling the world shooting some of the most beautiful weddings ever. Hopefully I can meet up with him again someday and learn a few things from him. Make sure you also check out his Wedding Site and his Blog.

Jessica Claire is a very new friend who actually came to me via my CFHusband Blog. Jessica is the most amazingly gifted photographer I have ever had the chance of conversing with. Her style is bold and full of life, and I could (and have) spend hours just looking at her work and trying to soak in just a little bit of her talent. Recently named one of the top ten wedding photographers in the world by popphoto.com, I am beyond excited that Jessica has offered to do a photo shoot with Tricia, Gwyneth and I in a few weeks when she's in town!!!

Anyway, I highly recommend you spend a few minutes checking out a few of my favorite photographers.

Thanks!

Nate

Wow! I checked them all out and they are ALL amazing in their own way! I've always had a passion for photography but have never been that good. At one point I was going to get a degree in photography...I don't know what happened to that. Jessica's pictures are SO amazing. I wish I had one tenth of the talent she has...or you have for that matter!
Thanks for sharing!

Nate,
WOW, they are all great! I can't wait to see the pictures from the photo shoot that Jessica does of the 3 of you. How exciting!

After looking at Rich Coleman's site I am thinking I might like to take a vacation in OBX area. Very beautiful.

Nate, I am so totally jeaous that you get to meet and have to photos done by Jessica Claire. She is my favorite photographer ever. I, like you, have spent hours looking through her website and blogs soaking in her work. I'd love to spend the day with her and pick her brain. And even more than that, I'd love to have her photograph my daughter. What an honor. Enjoy it! You guys deserve only the best and I have doubt that is what she will deliver. Can't wait to see those photos!

I'm a huge Jessica Claire fan too. Her work is amazing and I, like you, just soak it all up. I'm learning photography too, got my SLR this Christmas, and I'm having such a fun time learning. I can't wait to see the photos from JC. I hope she or you post them on your blogs. I'll check out the other two.
