Angela and Carlos...

We got to photograph a great couple on the 18th downtown at the Fourth Baptist Church. We had a great time meeting their family and friends..everyone was awesome to be around!

Their beautiful rings


The wedding party came down the aisle in a very unique way. The ladies danced their was around the guys until they lined up. It was really cool!

Angela coming down the aisle. I caught a flash off of one of the guests' cameras.
*He seems to get one at every wedding!!
Personally, I think he's cheating somehow. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a radio trigger on a flash this weekend!* [Mike]

The church was really beautiful inside!

Chuck + Bonnie

A few months ago I got the pleasure to meet Chuck and Bonnie and my life has been deeply impacted due to our friendship that has developed with them.

I guess I will start out by giving props to SC State troopers!

The following image was taken with my phone so it's kinda grainy...

Here's the lowdown. Chip and I had JUST got of I-26 headed into Orangeburg and as we crested the hill low and behold whats at the bottom of it?!
Yep...
"The Man".

I KNEW I was busted and he confirmed that I was speeding by cutting his lights on before I even got to him.
So.. I wanted to make his job easy so I pulled over not far from where he was parked. He barely had to pull out on the road to get behind us.
Needless to say, I was as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs....

When he came up to the car, he asked where we were headed, and I spoke up (Chip was frozen with fear) (for the record I was not scared---Chip) and told him I was not paying any attention to my speed because we (Chip and I) were discussing Chuck and Bonnie's wedding, and I have ZERO excuses for speeding.
He asked where the wedding was and I told him Buckridge Plantation, I was not surprised when he said he knew where it was.
I was REALLY hoping that because he knew where we were headed he would have mercy on this poor innocent vehicle operator!
You know... Hook a brotha up!
well...He took my license and registration anyway, and said he would have us back on the road in a few min.
While he was gone, (Chip was laughing his BUTT off the entire time!) 100,000,000 things were running through my mind! The main one was Rachel kicking my butt for being STUPID!!
It seemed like he was in his car for hours...
and hours...
...and hours...
But when he came back, he handed me a Warning ticket and told me to slow it down a bit and be careful. Needless to say I wanted to kiss him in the mouth. That man just saved my life! (Rachel would have strung my up in an oak tree and flogged me for days!)

Moral(S) of the story...
1) When the State troopers association calls, Give them money.
2) Be HONEST with them!


So anyway...
Chuck + Bonnie...
Chuck is deeply dedicated to his new bride, and it shows in every way!
Here are a few images from their beautiful wedding at Buckridge Plantation.





























I still can't get over her smile here!






The Reception was in Buckridge's ballroom...
