Kim & Justin
Rita and I headed up to Charlotte to take some engagements of Kim and Justin. They are absolutely hilarious and we had a great time exploring and shooting. I love shooting in new cities; being unfamiliar with the area is a challenge but also opens up new potential creativity.

















George & Alexis
George and Alexis are old friends who are about to go overseas to do awesome stuff. I was honored that they asked me to shoot some photos of them before they head out.




Photo Site Update
I made a bunch of updates to my photography web site, www.michaelcosta.net. I added a bunch of fresh pictures and expanded more on my strengths while eliminating some weaker stuff. I decided that whittling away unnecessary photos and projects probably improves the overall quality of the site and enhances the experience of the viewer. One change I am trying is to mix lots of different projects or shoots together to spice things up. I used to have a whole Projects section of the site. However, trying to neatly organize everything into sections made less and less sense when I would have only a few good photos that would fit into a potential section. The only sections I kept separated were weddings and architecture, because they are big enough to be separated out. Any way, I hope you enjoy looking through it.







Some more favorites from Megan and Chris’s shoot.
TV Show Intro!
Megan & Chris
Just shot some engagement pictures for Megan and Chris this weekend in the Old Village in Mt. Pleasant, SC. I haven’t gone through all of them, but picked out a few I’ve worked on that I really like. It was like 100 degrees outside but they didn’t sweat a drop and were patient with me while I had to wipe my sweat a million times!









Punch Brothers playing Bach. Just got their new CD too, haven’t had time to let it fully digest but it’s really good.
Mary Norton
I was lucky enough to shoot accessory designer Mary Norton in her awesome home for the cover feature for summer. She designs purses and shoes for tons of celebrities. Her house was ridiculously awesome. Beth Ables would love it.



Jenny Bridals








I had a great time a while back hanging out with Jenny and her friends and taking some bridal portraits for her. She picked an awesome area in North Carolina near Charlotte to take these pictures, and she and Tanner got married there as well. Congrats guys!
