Sneak Peek: Ashley & James’ Wedding

Posted

Ashley and James were married yesterday, 8.14.09. “Elegant” is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Ashley. She simply radiates happiness and peace and beauty. James is one of the most stylish grooms I know. He is coolness, strength, and charm. Together, they are a little bit edgy, a whole lotta bliss, and ready to allow God to guide their marriage. I am so fortunate to continue working with the most amazing couples, and I’m excited to show off their sneak peek!

Micki’s Glam-tastic Wedding

Posted

Micki and Vinz’s wedding was all about bling, glam, fun, and sass. Now, I am a girl who loves a little sparkle, so I was super happy to find glitz and jewels all over the place! The girls got glammed up and had their Bridesmaids’ Brunch at the beautiful and peaceful Liberty Lodge in Walhalla, SC. My sole responsibility was to document the details, the girls, and all the fabulosity….once we got to the wedding, I actually became a guest of the family. How awesome is that?? I enjoyed the beautiful Phillipino traditions Micki & Vinz incorporated into their ceremony, I ate the most unbelievable red velvet cake ever (I wanted to snag a whole tier of the cake to take home…), and I even enjoyed a glass (ahem, or two) of champagne during the toasts! Micki’s mom is the amazing Tammy, whose wedding you can find HERE, and I just love this family and these girls. I had so much fun being their “Ninja Photographer.” 😉

Micki’s gorgeous dress from Southern Bride. These are some of my all-time favorite “dress shots.” The Liberty Lodge had this awesome old barn…

…and then I got an insider’s tip to shoot in this amazing old silo on the property!

There isn’t enough room for me to say how much I love working with this family and all their friends! They truly are friends and not just clients, and they are also some of my biggest cheerleaders regarding my art and my career. And to think, it all started with a chance encounter at a wine tasting….but that’s another story. 🙂 Tammy and Cecil, Micki and Vinz–THANK YOU for trusting me to “do my thing!” Y’all are completely fabulous!

Thanks to those of you who always “show me some love!” Your comments make me smile.

Chelsea & Dion–Second Shooting

Posted

Like most photographers, I got my start by “second shooting”–working with another photographer to shoot scenes from a different angle or to catch the fun stuff going on while the posed pictures are being set up. It has been a long time since I’ve gotten to second shoot, but it is such a great opportunity to be creative! Last week, I had the chance to work with Kim DeLoach, and I had so much fun. Chelsea was a beautiful bride, and her and Dion’s wedding was heartfelt, fun, and filled with emotion and gorgeous colors…

Chelsea and Dion’s reception was at the new Greer, SC, City Hall Complex. Being a Greer-girl myself, I am so excited that our little town now has such a beautiful park and facility!
