Thrilled to have couples come back to Charleston for family photos after baby(s) starting blessing their new lives as husband and wife! We shot Craig and Gretchen's wedding back in Oct. 2008....they came down from Atlanta with their TWO beautiful daughters and we had a wonderful time making new memories!
Matille envisioned marshy areas around Folly Beach for her bridal portraits - a first for us after all these years...always say YAY for something different! Had perfect weather and a gorgeous sunset!! We have since shot her wedding in Myrtle Beach, so waiting to post bridals is always the hard part!
This was a great shoot on many levels - clearly the couple is gorgeous in front of the camera, but Eric was home on leave for 2 weeks from Afganistan...and we happen to have one day available during spring photo madness...it worked out!! They never had wedding photos taken at their ceremony in Alaska, so thought this would be a great way to have some pictures for themselves and for their families! Thank you for your service, Eric. And for being a great Army wife, Sara!
Not even a little rain could dampen the mood for Marissa and Billy's wedding on Seabrook Island - although the ceremony had to be brought inside their beautiful ballroom, we got an epic evening and everyone headed to the beach for the photos they were dreaming of!! A lovely day all around!
Had a lovely evening shooting Melissa and Matt's engagement photos in Downtown Charleston and out on Folly Beach. They were in town from Kansas City, KS on business/pleasure...and are clearly excellent in front of the camera!
On for our 3rd shoot with Bulldog Tours for an historical stroll through Downtown as well as an introduction to Charleston's culinary scene. These tours are incredibly interesting and the guides are very well-versed in everything Charleston!
We started off the 2012 wedding season with our first event of the year up in Anderson, South Carolina. Leslie and Almar came to us quite a long time ago for their engagement photos - well before a date and location for the wedding was set. We were thrilled when the call came in asking if we would make the trip Upstate for them....oh yes...we're there! They are a fun, and very kind couple - wouldn't miss it for the world! Beautiful wedding held at Occasions at Wedgefield.
We are enjoying working with Bulldog Tours, and thrilled they asked us to photograph their Spring Kick-off party at the Old CIty Jail - Downtown Charleston. Great food and entertainment from local businesses, along with a festive crowd made for an awesome night under the stars!
Spent a Sunday evening Downtown with Sarah and Christopher, who made the trip from Atlanta for their engagement photo session. Tons of fun, and we are looking forward to their wedding this May at the Legare Waring House!
Have started working with Bulldog Tours, photographing their fantastic walks and guided tours! This evening included shooting the haunted Dungeon and City Jail, finishing off in one of Charleston's graveyards. John and his tour guides are extremely well-versed in Charleston's history and exciting ghost stories!
Another lovely day and beautiful bridal shoot out at Legare Waring House - our bride, Leslie, made the drive down from Anderson to have her Lowcountry bridal portraits taken...we will be up to her part of the state in a few weeks for her big day...looking forward to Leslie and Almar's wedding!
Had a great shoot Downtown with Katie and Shane - in town this weekend from Houston. We will be shooting their wedding in Charleston this October...we have a special tie with Katie - her brother Michael is lead singer of Permanent Vacation...one of Charleston's best party bands. They will playing at our big anniversary bash this June!!!
The Wanek's have some new neighbors they have introduced to us...and we were thrilled they would like to have us take their family portraits! They are new residents of South Carolina - just recently making the move from Rhode Island. We welcome them to the Red Shutter family, and our wonderful social circle!! We all went to Taco Boy after our big group shoot - they piggy-backed on the Wanek's shoot, mentioned below!
It's always fun when we have the Wanek's and their growing family back for more photos - it means I get to replay their history on my post in case we have new visitors that don't know the whole story! We have been taking their photos since they got engaged - back in 2007! Did their wedding, 1st maternity shoot, then Jacy's birth, Jacy as an infant, age 1, a few of her birthday parties, then maternity shoot #2 and now introducing the lovely little Lexi!!! It just keeps getting better - and all these years and interactions have brought our families quite close together!
Talk about coming from great distances to be together for Christmas...we are honored that this well-travelled family chose us for their family photo session. Erin is in the Army, and was home on leave from Afganistan - his folks and siblings live in the Charleston area....Erin's fiance flew out from Washington state, and his children came down from New York. So much to celebrate - and glad we got to capture their happiness!
