Family weddings are tough - you want to be involved and enjoy the day as much as everyone else, but you don't want anyone else shooting the photos. So we accomplished both for my step-sister Courtney's wedding! It was a wonderful Christmas week celebration, and we are thrilled to finally have a Palmetto Bluff wedding under our belt!!! Weather and natural beauty at its best! Courtney and Dave could not have looked happier and are just a joy to be around - they treated all their guests to a rustic-elegance evening with all the Lowcountry trimmings. Ceremony at the Chapel in the Village of Palmetto Bluff with reception to follow at the Lake House...many happy wishes to two very special people!
Haven't had a December wedding in awhile! It's so nice to see Christmas trees in the church for a ceremony. We had the pleasure of capturing Stephany and Andy's special day...who made the journey from Norfolk, Virginia to tie the knot in Charleston at the Unitarian Church, and reception to follow at the Peninsula Grill - Planter's Inn. A small, intimate affair that was done just beautifully...congratulations!
Always a pleasure having repeat business...tis the season! We have photographed Mike and Nancy since their engagement photos and wedding, then again last year with their baby boy Alexander...and another session this Christmas season...I think we may expect to see them again next year since Nancy is expecting another boy! Congratulations...and thank you for being so good to us!
Wow...can't believe we are up to 4 shoots now with the Prox family...there is no more rewarding feeling when they keep coming back for more! This afternoon was spent at Hamilton Park in Charleston (near the Citadel) - two little boys in tow now! What a wonderful family that we always have a great time with!
Spent a lovely Sunday with Jenna and Greg, covering their absolutely beautiful wedding - designed and executed by Candice and her team at Yoj Events...WOW! After an evening ceremony at Summerall Chapel - The Citadel, guests were treated to some eye candy at the Rice Mill Building in Downtown Charleston! Was great to meet and work with all of Jenna and Greg's friends and family...lots of nice folks, as always, from North Jersey!
Niki and G have become dear friends of ours...during the year we spent getting to know them, doing engagements and preparing for their big day was more like building a friendship than a client-vendor relationship. Their wedding was as beautiful and fun as we imagined! Ceremony held at Christ Our King Catholic Church in Mt. Pleasant, with reception to follow at Founder's Hall at Charlestowne Landing. Mosaic handled the catering, bar and decor - they were outstanding! And DJ - top notch! He was fantastic - DJ Natty Heavy.
Kandi and Lee are very good friends of ours, and we were thrilled to have the chance to take their sweet baby girl's portraits with them! We met at Washington Square in Downtown Charleston...and what a good girl!! Spent just about 1 hr and not a single fuss from Alyssa!! What an angel...
Was wonderful to finally meet Sara and Derek after months of coordinating to shoot their engagements...you know...logistics...tough when you live in Virginia and the shoot is in Downtown Charleston! WOW - fab in front of the camera! Sara's dancing background shined in the photos! We will be shooting their wedding up in Richmond next fall!
Another lovely Virginia couple for us on this sunny Saturday in October. Melissa and Ryan came down to Charleston last winter for their engagement shoot, and ever since we had a lot of reasons to look forward to their wedding!! Melissa is good friends with a gal whose wedding we shot 3 years ago - Katie Barnette Whisenant...and she would be at the wedding along with Melissa's boss - one of South Carolina's representatives in the US House. This lovely day was planned and executed by Stacey and her team at Red Letter, with ceremony at the Circular Congregation Church and reception to follow at the Mills House.
It's so wonderful to get calls from repeat clients, but especially when it's from a couple whose engagements, bridals and wedding you have shot - and now they would like their first child photographed! Denise and Andy have become very special to us as most folks do...so meeting their beautiful baby girl, Reagan Victoria, was an absolute joy!!
Ever since a very exciting and memorable engagement shoot, we have been looking forward to Sasha and John's wedding day - not too mention being in the company of two Filipino families makes Rod a very happy camper - so much to talk about...and we will take up John's mother's offer of coming to dinner sometime for a good Filipino meal! Reception and ceremony were both held on this glorious sunny day at the Doubletree Hotel on the Market in Downtown Charleston. It was just a perfect day all around!
Blair and Carter - what can I say...both extremely attractive and some of the nicest people you can ask to work with! They live in West Virginia and selected Charleston for their big day! A beautiful day for a wedding at the William Aiken House - first time there with no tent - it was gorgeous! Emmy and the gals from Peacock Events ran a lovely event, with another great cake from Elaine's Events.
The blending of Hawaiian culture and Southern tradition made for a gorgeous and joyous wedding for Kara and Chris. I can't imagine planning a wedding from San Diego, CA without a coordinator is an easy task, but these two pulled it off flawlessly! Ceremony took place at Summerall Chapel at The Citadel, with reception to follow at The Wickliffe House...and with DJ Rob Duren in the house, you know it's going to be a great party!
A lot of couples from Virginia lately...we sure do appreciate all the love from our friends up north! Kelly and Steve were married at The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist - Downtown Charleston - on another lovely October day. We sure have been blessed! Reception followed at the Mills House...beautiful, classic and black tie - love it! Kelly is so comfortable in front of the camera...we had such an awesome engagement shoot when they came down to Charleston months ago - had looked forward to this day for a long time!
Moving this engagement session from August to early October paid off for Sarah and Dave - wanted cooler weather and we got it!! Perfect evening out on Folly Beach, overlooking the Morris Island Lighthouse! Our enthusiastic couple came prepared with a couple cute props and a bunch of energy = all making for a wonderful autumn shoot!
