Wedding at Bellview Baptist Church in Laurens, SC - Jessica & Kyle 2009-10-03

Jessica and Kyle were happily married on September 26th 2009, at Bellview Baptist Church in Laurens, SC. Jessica and her bridesmaids were carrying some beautiful bouquets made by Jessica's mom - Loved the colors! The reception was held a few miles away at the Clinton House. This was our first visit there, and we were impressed by the layout, which provided guests with seperate rooms for dining and dancing! Ribault Catering provided a spectacular display of food, which was wonderful by the way, and the staff was extremely hospitable. The gorgeous cake was created by Gretche's ABS Cakes, in mauldin, SC. We would have liked to created more images outside at the venue, but the weather was just a bit too soggy; but we created some romantic and fun images inside, where everyone was dry and happy. Thanks Kyle and Jessica, for allowing us to be a part of your wedding day!

Wedding at 403 North Lake Events in Lexington, SC - Heather and Justin 2009-10-22

Heather and Justin had a beautiful outdoor wedding on October 10th, at 403 North Lake Events, in Lexington South Carolina. They decided to have a time before the ceremony when her and Justin could spend a few moments together, and have some remarkable images created, which would otherwise be impossible. This did two great things for them... First, we had Justin facing my camera as Heather approached him from behind. When she tapped him on his shoulder, he turned to see her for the very first time in her wedding dress, tears began to fill his eyes; this usually does not happen in front of 150 guests!

Sticking to tradition and keeping brides frazzled, afraid that her man might see her before the wedding - I wouldn't pay a dollar for.
Intimate moment where bride and groom can express their thoughts to each other on the day they will be joined as one - PRICELESS!!!

This also allowed Heather and Justin to have all of the formal photographs taken care of before the ceremony! This is a major relief of stress to the couple, and doesn't keep their guests waiting for their entrance to the reception.

The ceremony was simply beautiful and also included the parents of the bride and groom. Music at the reception was provided by Sound Quest DJ's. Some of my favorite images created, were when Heather was dancing with her dad and I could see him crying. I feel like I can already relate in some small way, even though my daughter's are very young.

Thanks Heather and Justin and Congratulations!

Wedding at Wintergreen Woods in Lexington South Carolina - Stephanie and Alan 2009-10-22

Yet another gorgeous outdoor October wedding!!!

Stephanie and Alan had a beautiful wedding on October 18th, at Wintergreen Woods, in Lexington South Carolina. The October weather was just perfect for an outdoor event; they could not have picked a better day! The couple included their adorable baby boy, who apparently decided at the very last minute that he did not want to be happily involved in the ceremony. I think little things like that only make for a more memorable day! Although Stephanie and Alan had candles around the altar, they chose to pour sands into a glass vase to signify them joining themselves to each other in such a way that they can never be separated again - I love that! The reception followed inside, where music was provided by Barry Miller, who owns Record Breakers. The beautiful cake was created by Vintage Bakery, which was very yummy by the way!

Congratulations Stephanie and Alan!!!

Wedding in Pendleton South Carolina - Sarah & Chris 2009-11-01

Sarah and Chris were married on October 24th, at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Pendleton South Carolina. Despite the forecast for rain, it was an absolutely beautiful autumn day! The colors of fall seemed to provide the perfect surrounding for the small historic church, featuring bright red doors in the front. Although we were not allowed inside during the ceremony, the door seemed to be conveniently left open for us to capture images from a distance; I was thankful for that! After Chris and Sarah walked out of the church as husband and wife, they spent some time alone just walking together outside. I thought it was awesome that they took time out immediately for each other, to reflect on the vows they just took, and the new chapter of life they were starting together - I think this time provided them with some of the best images of the day too! The reception was held on the grounds of the magnificent Woodburn historic home (c1830) in Pendleton, SC. Chris gave a wonderful speech that made a lot of people laugh and cry - I love it!!!

Thanks Chris and Sarah for allowing us to create images of your wedding day!

Beautiful Fall wedding at the Marion Hatcher Center in Augusta, GA. Congratulations Elizabeth & Chris! 2009-11-06

Elizabeth and Chris had their wedding ceremony at the Marion Hatcher Center, in Augusta Georgia. It was a beautiful fall day, and even though the wedding was held inside, the window lit room provided a real sense of the environment outside! The ceremony included a lighting of a unity candle to symbolize two lives joining into one. As Chris and Elizabeth started down the aisle as husband and wife, I captured a great images as Elizabeth gave her mom sort of a high five hand shake! Following the nuptials, we headed outside to the grand staircases in front of the venue, where we created some great images of the families and the wedding party. At the reception, music was provided by Bill Tolbert with BTS Productions. You won't see a ton of people on the dance floor, because the guests there consisted of only the closest family members and friends of the couple. I think there is much to be said about having a smaller intimate wedding!

Thanks for stopping by.
