Firehouse Bridals – Charleston, South Carolina

I love to shoot in unusual locations, always looking to find something new and fresh. So when I found out my bride had a connection to a firehouse, well just enjoy the photos. A wonderful bride willing to try anything we wanted at the Firehouse. W even planned on bringing in a real dalmatian mascot. Luckily I have ( don’t ask why) a toy dalmatian who was willing to step in and help. Thanks Firedog!  I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed taking them.

 

Anatomy of a Wedding Album

I provide two DVD’s of your wedding images in full sized res. These DVD’s contain anywhere from 600 to over a thousand  images depending on your package. The bride and groom then provides me with the images they want in their album. Our design team then designs the album and sends you a complete .pdf file for your approval. We love using single images on certain pages and not more than 3-4 on others. We design clean, elegant, contemporary albums and you have hundreds of choices of covers and covers are available in dozens of materials including metal. The album shown in this post is a simple black cover with an inset image. A horizontal format allows the album to open up wide for a more dramatic presentation. Every single album is custom designed and printed. Albums are also provided in most packages for both your engagement and bridal sessions.

 

 

 

 

 

Jennifer and Jeff – Engaged – Folly Beach, South Carolina

Jennifer and Jeff met me at Folly Beach for their fun engagement session. This is another very relaxed, laid back, fun and energetic couple. My engagement sessions fit them nicely. I do not pose my couples during theses sessions or during the wedding process. Couple’s seem to like this. So with Jennifer and Jeff we just played on the beach and I put them in situations where they can react to one another, that’s how I work. We borrowed a kids’ volleyball, and two nice surfers let us use their boards. People on beaches are typically very friendly like that. After some pictures on the beach near the pier we took a little ride to another spot that has a lot of variety and as the sun was setting offered us great light. I cannot wait to photograph Jennifer and Jeff’s wedding, it will be a blast I promise you.

 

Beth Bridals – Downtown Charleston, South Carolina

Beth and her mom and I met at the Waterfront Park in downtown Charleston this past Spring before her wedding ( see my post Beth and Mitch are married). All of my shoots whether a bridal, engagement or portrait session are very relaxed and this one was no exception. I have a plan, but whenever we see something we like we take the time and create an image. Beth is so sweet and so relaxed it made my job that much easier. We bring sheets to keep the dress as clean as possible, I ask my brides to wear comfortable shoes because we do like to walk from location to location. Beth was willing to try anything and we always kept each other smiling throughout. I love these images and I hope you will enjoy them as well. Thanks Beth!!

Tammie and Neal Wedding – Charleston, South Carolina

Tammie and Neal were married on a beautiful hot summer June day in Charleston, South Carolina. Before the ceremony I was able to do a “first look” with this wonderful couple at Hampton Park near the Citadel. These moments are always very special and this one will go down as one of my favorites. After the first look we continued to take some fun outdoor photos with the weeding party which allowed more freedom and time for photos after the ceremony. The reception rocked into the evening with friends and family having a blast.
