Well... It seems like forever since I've updated...
Last Saturday We shot Danielle and Harold's wonderful wedding at Summerville First Baptist...
A BIG shout out to Jen Harder-Finley for helping Chip with the reception, while I booked it over to Jake's Bar Mitzvah... WE LOVE YA JEN!!!!! (even if ya do shoot Nikon... hehe)
Sunday, we traveled up to Orangeburg to Chuck and Bonnie's absolutely STUNNING wedding at Buckridge Plantation...
But.. I promise, I'll post more on that later this week...
Here are a few shots from Jake's Bar Mitzvah!
While at the Bar Mitzvah, Josh was asking quite a few questions about photography and I decided to put him to work! I gave him my back up camera body and a flash, put on a lens and turned him loose!
The whole lot of them!!
Quick update...
Bonnie's Bridal
Well... We got up REALLY, REALLY, REALLY early to get to Orangeburg for Bonnie's Bridal session.
Even after 1 cup of coffee, a red bull, and one of those mini 5 hour energy drinks, I was still groggy, but when I saw how exquisite Bonnie looked in her dress, I IMMEDIATELY woke up! Bonnie is both beautiful inside and out, and not only that, She has one of the most soothing voices I've ever heard!
We started out @ Edisto state park, and ended up in the downtown part of Orangeburg...
Bonnie spent her first 11 years of life in Africa because her parents were missionaries. She calls herself an "African Princess"! You just can't deny that fact she positively looks like a queen in her dress!
While we were getting set up for a shot I asked her to speak some african, and much to my surprise, it sounded flawless! But then again... Wouldn't you expect that from her? 
Stay tuned... I'll get her Engagement session up later today! **HOPEfully**
Blessed...
I was just looking over our calender for the rest of the year and noticed we are slam packed booked solid. This is a good thing and I feel very blessed to be part of very important event in people's lives. We have some of the very best clients anywhere!
I also feel blessed to have a wife that supports me being away on weekends when I could be home with her and our two boys. Without her I would not be able to pursue this passion.
Finally I want to thank Mike and Rachel for allowing me to join the crew. It is great working with such good friends!

Alter Ego...
We get alot of calls asking for Mr. Branch or Mr. Tillman.. Alot of times I can't help but snicker and correct them... And more often than that, we meet with people and they ask "How did you guys come up with that name?"
Well... It's not as complicated as people might think!
You see, I grew up on a farm not far from Carnes Crossroads where 176 and 17-a intersect. And if you can get your hands on really old maps of the area I live in, the whole surrounding area was called "Tillman's Branch" wAAAAAAay back 50 years ago. Also, there are several little streams or "branches" flowing through the area, and one of the main ones (according to the map) is named "Tillman's branch"
Back in `89 when hurricane Hugo hit, due to the power being out for weeks we actually took baths in "The Branch". (the water is surprisingly clear!) You wanna talk about COLD? HOLY COW that was cold!!
So anyway, That's the deal with the name.
Peagler Family
We met out @ Folly Beach on Saturday for a Family session...
This is a WILD and crazy bunch!!
Here are a few shots of the day!
