Rooted Man

This shoot was based on the idea of humans being pulled from the soil like carrots or other rooted plants we pull from the earth. to achieve this look Zach McDonald used real roots, in the hair and painted the skin with a thick layer of charcoal powder and water to give that raw mineral look.

Harber Wedding

I had the honor of designing and decorating the wedding of Neil and Amelia Harber, who were married last year in Savannah, Georgia.  Their wedding was held in a small chapel outside the city and their reception took place at Vic's on the River. 

The wedding was featured in Georgia's Knot Magazine.
