7th Annual Reef Sweetwater PRO AM 2011 | Oceanic Street, Wrightsville Beach, NC

July 15th-17th kicked off this years 7th Annual Reef Sweetwater Pro Am at Oceanic Street along the shores of Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. In its 7th year, the Reef Sweetwater Pro Am attracts thousands of spectators, surfers and professional athletes from around the globe, flocking to the North Carolina Coast for a weekend of fun in the sun. Once again this year, we were blessed with a stomach to chest high swell that stuck around all weekend, providing ample conditions for competitors to compete towards the $20,000 prize purse. I shot the majority of the contest on friday, saturday, and sunday, through all divisions: Pro, Junior, Longboard, Womens, and guppies. I’ve put together two slideshows of the event. The first one is of the finals on Sunday July 17th. Finalists include Phillip Goold, Aaron Cormican, Fisher Heverly and Rob Machado. The second slideshow is a compilation of competition highlights throughout the three day festival. Enjoy!

Busy busy…

Been pretty busy lately, shot the Czerw wedding last weekend, so I’ve been spending all my spare time getting those ready. So it will be probably be little longer till the website is up. Well, technically it is already up (just not public yet, let me know if you want a sneak peek), there are just a few tweaks and kinks I want to make to it before I finalize it. Of course keep checking back, as the website will be www.chriszachary.com, and the blog has changed back to czphoto.wordpress.com. Also as the site launches, I will hopefully have available a new set of business cards, and an online print ordering page. For now, here’s a few shots from the wedding.

Also, I still have a set of shots from the Reef/Sweetwater Pro Am last friday. I will surely get to those soon after I’m finished with the wedding. Heres one from to hold you over.
