Chad and Kristen’s Sneak Peek: Charlotte, NC Wedding Photographer

Posted

Every wedding that I shoot is special, and I always hope that my clients will feel like my friends, but in this case, the groom already was my friend! Chad and I went to college together, and it truly meant a lot that he and Kristen asked me to photograph their wedding last month. He and I did most of the communicating before the wedding, so Kristen and I didn’t meet until the wedding day…but we quickly became “new BFFs.” 😉

Sweet little flower girls…

The wedding and reception were held at Providence Country Club in Charlotte, NC.

All of these Pi Kapps and most of their wives were also friends from college! I seriously loved my college experience, and it was great to see these folks again.

Kristen and Chad, your wedding was just perfect (rain and all!), and it was really special to be a part of your wedding day.

Keep checking back for more photos…I’m trying hard to get caught up on editing and posting. Don’t forget to “show me (and the Petersons!) some love” by leaving a comment below!

Stacy + David’s Wedding Sneak Peek

Posted

My sweet friends Stacy and David had the perfect, low-key yet special wedding day: they were married in a small church ceremony with their immediate family attending, they relaxed at a nice reception at Stacy’s mom’s beautiful country home, and then they took a break mid-afternoon before celebrating with their friends at a lively reception that evening at Rhythm & Brew’s in downtown Greer. Everything was relaxed, comfortable, and fun….just like Stacy and David. Enjoy their Sneak Peek!

Ahhhh, I have SO MUCH amazing stuff to show you, but I am SO FAR BEHIND. Eeek! This spring has been amazing for me with more weddings than I’ve ever shot in 2 months and almost all of them out of town! Please be patient if you are waiting on your photos or if you are ready for fresh blog posts. I’m plugging away and I think it will be worth the wait. Love you all–Amy Clifton Photography doesn’t exist without my amazing and beautiful and passionate clients!

Stephanie & Clark Are Married! Part I

Posted

He makes her laugh and keeps her calm. She inspires him to be a better person. They are classic in their style, and timeless in their love. They are lace and bowties and Clemson football tailgates. They are Stephanie and Clark, and they are married!

(Stephanie’s Romona Keveza gown and custom veil from J Majors were gorgeous. You may remember her bridal portraits from THIS POST.)

Stephanie’s adorable shoes!

So much happiness! Happy bride getting dressed, happy sister helping, happy mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law seeing Stephanie for the first time!

Stephanie’s mother presented her bridesmaids with these beautiful embroidered handkerchiefs from Europe. Stephanie and her mom then traded, so Stephanie’s “something borrowed” was her mom’s handkerchief. Sweet idea!

Stephanie had a little problem remembering which finger Clark’s ring should go on. 😉 Love all the laughter in this moment.

The stained glass at Aldersgate is gor-geous…and a perfect mix of traditional and modern, just like Stephanie and Clark…
