Erin & Paul–When you know, you know!

Posted

They always say that when you meet “the one,” you just know. Well, after Erin and Paul first met in spring of 2007, it was only a matter of weeks before she had moved to Georgia and they were engaged! I was really excited about their wedding because of their fairy tale story and also because Erin is part of a group of friends whose weddings I’ve been honored to photograph.

Erin and Paul were married at the same small church in Spartanburg where her parents and several other family members also were married.

The stained glass windows were amazing–very thick glass with the most vibrant colors you’ve ever seen! The sun just streamed in all throughout the ceremony.

The basement had really funky murals that the youth group must have painted. Perfect backdrop for some dramatic portraits…

Erin’s three nephews were all involved in the wedding, and they were so excited to be a part of the day. The little ring bearer was SO excited that Aunt Erin said he could keep the ring pillow! He was the first person to congratulate them after the ceremony. 🙂

I love this one! How amazing is the light from those windows??

Some happy “alone time” before moving on the reception. I’m going to have to do a separate post for the reception–just too many to choose from!

Would it be an Amy Clifton wedding without a shoe-shot? Of course not!

Congratulations Erin and Paul!

Myra & Mark

Posted

Since I just started my blog a few months ago, I wanted to showcase some weddings even though they are from last year. Myra and Mark were married during an outdoor ceremony at Creekside Plantation last October and had the perfect fall-themed wedding. I love fall, and their decorations were all about bright oranges and deep reds, pumpkins, sunflowers, and fall leaves. Two of Myra’s nieces were the flower girls, and instead of throwing flower petals, they lined the aisle with fall leaves. This photo of the girls is one of my all-time favorites that I’ve ever taken!

Mark proposed to Myra with a Taco Bell sauce pack that said “Will you marry me?” He gets the award for most creative proposal ever!

They have such a sweet love between them!

Here are a couple of the less traditional portraits we took during Myra’s bridal portrait session. I love being able to get creative during bridal portraits!


M & M–It was such an honor to be a part of your wedding day and to share that with your family!

Autumn & Daniel–“WE DID!”

Posted

I loooove working with this couple! I shot Autumn and Daniel’s engagement photos, Autumn’s bridal portraits, and their gorgeous fall wedding October 20 at the beautiful plantation-like Walker Hall in Spartanburg (www.walkerhall.org). They are so cute together and needed no coaching from me–definite chemistry between these two! Just a few weeks after their wedding, I bought all new camera equipment and attended a two-day workshop in New Jersey. As soon as I got back in town, I called Autumn to see if they would be willing to put their wedding clothes back on for a “We Did!” photo shoot–and a chance for me to experiment with the new camera and new techniques I learned…

The architecture at Walker Hall is beautiful.

Autumn is a natural in front of the camera! I love this elegant shot. I couldn’t get enough of the lacework on her veil–gorgeous!

Sweet, sweet, sweet!
What do you think is best–color or b&w?? I can’t decide…

LOVE the lighting, love the emotion, love the fall colors…

Experimenting with silhouettes. I’m pretty pumped about this image!

Autumn is part of a huge circle of friends whose weddings I’ve all shot! I think there are about 8 girls who have all used me for their weddings. As a photographer, I can honestly say that nothing makes me prouder than knowing that a bride enjoys my style and work enough to recommend me to (ALL) her friends. It is a real honor and a treat to call these girls my friends and to see them at each others’ weddings. Next in line is Erin, who is getting married March 1!
