• Time For Some Bloggage!

    Yeah, I know it's not a word but around here, that's how I roll. Welcome to the blog of Damion Dunlap, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Panama City Beach, FL. I'm a proud father of three who first started in photography to capture those special moments in the lives in my little people. I try my best to keep things simple yet elegant in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Thanks for dropping by and enjoy.

Engagement: Bill & Mara

I’m in catch up mode and I decided that it’s about time I blog the first beach engagement session that I was blessed to shoot.  It was great to have such a wonderful couple to work with although I wish they could’ve waited until things warmed up a bit.  Bill and Mara were definitely adventurous to brave the frigid December waters but who am I to stop them.  And if anyone is wondering about the fancy getups, Bill is non other than Bill Science of the Science Brothers (www.sciencebrothers.org) and Mara is an avid diver.  We shot the most of the session at St. Andrew’s State Park in Panama City Beach, FL and I think I’ve found my new favorite spot.  It’s rare to get so many different settings all at one location but we still ended up at Pier Park to close things out.  Enjoy!

Engagement: Heather & Roger

Fortunately before all this cold weather hit lovely Panama City Beach, I had the great opportunity to photography a lovely couple to celebrate their engagement and upcoming wedding.  They found a wonderful spot on Florida State University’s Panama City campus that had some cool scenes to work with and I had a great time.  They did however throw me a big curve ball when they wanted to get their “classic” dodge involved in the shoot.  I ended up breaking out the big lights to make it work but in the end it resulted in my favorite shot of the afternoon.  I can’t wait until their wedding next month.

Headshots: Chris Watts aka Pope (Preview)

Chris and I finally got together for a session before his big album release and I couldn’t wait to share my favorite image.  His new website is launching any day now so check it out when you get a chance at www.globalvocalent.com.

Video: Lisa & Myron

It’s been a good minute since I’ve posted a video but I finally finished my editing backlog so I figured that I would have at it.  Feel free to check out the complete online gallery on my proofing site at http://proofs.ddunlapphotography.com/Weddings/Lisa-Myron if you are so inclined.

Wedding: Lisa & Myron

I was so ecstatic to be shooting my very first Panama City wedding and it just put me over the top to be there to celebrate alongside a good friend from Tallahassee. Honestly, it was a bit much having back-to-back wedding weekends with a Ph.D. dissertation sandwiched between but it was all worth it. Lisa and Myron as well as their families are just overall cool people and it was a pleasure just to be in the building. If I recall correctly, these two love birds go back to high school and I don’t know if I’ve seen a groom so happy to be married as Myron was on that beautiful Saturday morning. Ok I’ll have to stop myself here and get to the images because I can go on and on. Enjoy!
































Wedding: Sam & Staci

Sam and Staci are a beautiful couple and it was an absolute joy to be their along with their great friends and family to celebrate the beginning of the next phase of their relationship. Ok, I don’t want to be a slacker but I’m between back-to-back weddings with a Ph.D. dissertation defense in the middle so I’m just going to get to the images.
