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.

 

Erin and Hunter – Engaged – Daniel Island, South Carolina

Erin and Hunter came in from out of town to go over the details of their October Seabrook Island wedding. After our meeting this fun loving couple decided to take me up on my offer to go out in my backyard ( called Daniel Island) and have a fun short shoot before they leave. No posing, no staged photos, that’s not how I work. We just went for a little walk around a few of my favorite spots on the Island where I live and work.  We had a blast, they were so comfortable with each other and so relaxed our hour long session flew by with some amazing photographs. I cannot wait to see them again in October where I can spend the entire day with them. All my best Erin and Hunter.

 

 

 

 

Aubrey and Will married in Charleston, South Carolina – The Creek Club at I’on

Aubrey and Will are such a warm and sweet couple. I had the absolute pleasure and honor to photograph their June wedding recently. The outdoor ceremony and wedding reception was held at the beautiful Creek Club at I’on in Mount Pleasant just outside of Charleston, South Carolina. Friends and family gathered here for a lovely wedding and a lively reception. I took the couple for a walk on the docks and was blessed with a stunning sunset with warm light. Please enjoy these images.
