Beach Fanatic

If I may be so bold....  Avalon Photography has been in Conde Nast Travel, Mary Englebreit Home Companinon Magazine, many regional mags like At Home Tennesee and Cityscapes Arkansas with beach wedding features. Not exactly a product, but a service that is known by many. I estimate that I have photographed nearly 500 weddings on SoWal beaches since Avalon was started in 1994. Not to mention the 1000+ families.  I really appreciate the idea of promoting the truly local. Thanks for your consideration!

I was made in SoWal, as was my son, my dad, my grandmother and my great-grandmother (actually she was born on the banks of the Choctawhatchee River - does that count?).  Somehow I don't think this is what you are looking for...:cool:
