I had to read this email a few times to make sure it was real.
Hartbreaker Media has officially been nominated for Best Photographer/Videographer in the 2026 First State Favorites South Community’s Choice Awards.
To say I’m grateful would be an UNDERSTATEMENT .
A few years ago, I was just a guy showing up with a camera, trying to get better. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of documenting car culture, motorcycles, families, businesses, community events, and countless moments that deserved to be remembered.
This nomination isn’t just for HBM. It’s for every person who has stepped in front of my lens, booked a session, shared a post, supported a project, bought merch, recommended my work, or believed in Hartbreaker Media when it was just an idea.
What started as a passion became a purpose. What started as a camera became a way to tell stories.
No matter what happens next, this is a moment I’ll never forget.
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU ❤️📸
You can’t kill culture.
You can’t stop purpose.
And this is only the beginning.
