Lowndes Grove Bridal shoot

Well... I'm blushing... and humbled beyond belief!
It seems that a few months ago we were featured on Patrick Properties blog and I didn't know about it...

ch-ch-check it out!

here is the original post on our blog!

2009 Charleston Weddings. A year in retrospect- LOOOOOng post!

I honestly sat here at my computer laughed & cried while looking through some of the weddings and engagements we shot this past year.
I have met SOOooo many REALLY cool people who trusted me to capture the most important day in their life, (except maybe a birth!) many of whom have become really close friends that will be around forever.

The following images are some (DEFINITELY not all) of my favorites from 2009... Some are very artistic, some are funny moments captured but they are all special memories both to me and some of my clients.
Feel free to enjoy!









The one thing I love about receptions is that after people have a few drinks in their system they will do things they normally wouldn't do!
I might be wrong but I think that the following image was captured right before the garter toss at Travis and Suzanne's wedding at Santee Canal State park. I think Burt (one of my closest friends and my most fav DJ in the world) put on Def Lepards "pour some sugar on me"...
I'd say they were into the song pretty hardcore!






I am TOTALLY in love with this image captured by Rachel.










Jay and Nikki caught the devil getting their unity candle lit....




The AC was broke in the limo... It was HOT. But Nikki was Cool as a cucumber!




I would LOVE to say that this is an original idea... But it actually originated from an idea of another friend of mine.



















Gary and Kirsten.... This couple won our 2008 "free wedding" giveaway. They think THEY won.
HA!!
Actually WE won because we got the opportunity to photograph their wedding!



























While I was shooting Michael and Kristen's wedding in Boone Hall the mosquitos were HORRIBLE!!
Michael saw I was struggling with them so he came over and graciously applied mosquito repellent to my head...

























When Gary came back from Iraq I was fortunate enough to capture the return. Very seldom do I actually "cry" behind the camera, I mean, I may tear up and a tear or two might fall, but this was one of those times I was bawling and almost unable to hit the shutter button.


















This little girl was worth her triple her weight in gold. Cute as the day is long.


Jenna and Her Dad waits for the "go" signal to walk down the isle @ the Wickliffe house.


She gave me a quick glance back as they were about to walk out the door.


















Some couples smile some of the time... Some smile ALL the time.

Take Matt and heather for instance...















This little fella has that "disney movie cuteness" written all over his face. I had to beg him with a piece of candy to be in the photo with Ashley.











I've had alot of fun capturing REALLY cool images of couples for engagements and Bridals.







Jess and Trey are two of the COOLEST couples you will meet in your life.
Jessica is a VERY uplifting person to talk to when you have had a bad day. She should charge people to talk to them.
Yes, she is THAT cool.






Lacey, Paul and "Bug" up front. No... His real name is not Bug. It's Colby :-)


























Happy new year everyone!!
