Saturday was my LAST wedding to photograph pre-babies! I took a whole TEAM up to Laurens to photograph Lindsay and Ryan’s wedding because I knew I’d need the extra help!  Paula did an excellent job second shooting (as always!), Amanda was a superb third shooter/water-fetcher/bag carrier, and my sweet husband Justin drove me from point A to point B (so I wouldn’t have to walk too far!).  I am so thankful!! Everything went SO smoothly on Saturday!  I photographed Lindsay’s sister, Ashley’s wedding in Laurens about 14 months ago, and it was so great to reconnect with this fun family!!   Lindsay and Ryan are on a cruise right now, doesn’t that sound glorious!!

Here are some of my favorites, and CLICK HERE to view the slideshow!

Heather and Alan were married on May 2 at the Jasmine House in Irmo.  We had such a good time capturing their wedding!  Here are some of my favorites!

And of course, the SLIDESHOW!

Congratulations Kelli and Chris!!! Saturday was such a beautiful day for a wedding, and it was so much fun capturing this special day!  What a lovely couple, inside and out!!

I photographed TWO weddings this past weekend (Saturday and Sunday!) which I rarely do! Needless to say I’m slammed trying to turn the images around, so sorry for the brevity    I have to give a special shout out to Paula, who assisted for me both Saturday and Sunday. I couldn’t have done it without her, being 28 weeks pregnant with twins!

K&C - hope you had a fabulous honeymoon!!

I absolutely ADORED working with this sweet couple and their families!  Katie and Jesse were married on Saturday at Mt. Hebron United Methodist Church (which was where Katie’s parents were married!); and the reception was at Leaside.  Everything was just perfect - from the beautiful weather, to the incredible food by Southern Way, to Mike at Night (Partytime DJs) who kept the party going all night long!  Here are a couple of favorites!

Kristin and Jeremy are married!! I have had such a great time getting to know Kristin & Jeremy during their engagement…..from meeting at Starbucks, to shooting their engagement session at Folly (where we got a little lost trying to find our cars!), to the bridal session where Kristin and her mom surprised me with the cutest tote bag, and finally the wedding!  The ceremony was at Lexington Baptist, and the reception was at Lexington Country Club.  We were blessed with beautiful weather, thankfully!

Here are a few of my favorites …..the slideshow will come later in the week (probably Thursday).  There are some really fun dancing pictures too, but you’ll have to wait for the slideshow for those (I couldn’t narrow them down!)

I am working remotely this week from Myrtle Beach while my husband is at a conference. Too bad it’s rainy and cold down here !

On Saturday I had such a blast photographing Brittany & Cole’s wedding!  The minute I met Brittany and her mom at Starbucks back in July, I knew that we would really get along and work well together.  It’s funny - I met with Brittany for the first time on the morning that my friend Amanda delivered Naomi (and I did birth photography).  I had driven straight from the hospital to Starbucks for our meeting,  so I was a little frazzled, hadn’t slept much the night before, and definitely hadn’t had time for a shower!  Although I wasn’t 100% for the meeting, I am so glad they selected me for their wedding photograper because it was so much fun getting to know them throughout the process.  Brittany & Cole’s ceremony was at Spring Valley Baptist in Northeast Columbia and the reception was at the Mitchell House in Lexington.  I love photographing both places, but especially SVBC because that is where I got married almost 5 years ago

Here are a few of my favorites from the day:

Another fabulous December wedding!!

Sara & Drew were married in Charleston on Saturday and everything was JUST PERFECT!!  The weather was beautiful, which was a huge blessing after the torrential downpours and flooding in Charleston the night before.   The reception was at St Luke’s on the campus of MUSC (my second wedding there in 09!) and the reception was at the Francis Marion- which was gorgeous!  Sara was such a happy bride which made my job very easy. And you can just tell Drew is madly in love with Sara-the way he looks at her is so sweet.  I just know they are having a blast honeymooning in LONDON!  Christmas in London-how romantic!

Goodness, I can’t believe it was over a year ago that Leslie and I met over Starbucks coffee to chat about my wedding photography packages. Boy how 2009 has flown by!   I have really enjoyed getting to know Leslie & Ryan through the planning, engagement session, bridal session, and finally the wedding!!  My friend Wes Church (a minister at First Baptist) performed the ceremony at Riverland Hills Baptist in Irmo.  He did SUCH a great job of centering the ceremony on Christ. I just know that Leslie and Ryan will have a blessed marriage, and I cannot wait to see what God does through their union!! What a GORGEOUS Christmas wedding!!

Here are a few favorites, and of course CLICK HERE for the slideshow!!

Leslie and Ryan -  hope you are having a blast in Park City skiing for your honeymoon!

One more thing I wanted to mention…it’s so neat how I get the opportunity to meet so many amazing people through shooting weddings.  At Leslie & Ryan’s wedding I finally got to meet the author of a blog that I frequently read chronicling the journey of a young couple who are adopting two Ethoipian orphans.  I have been so inspired by their obedience to God!  It was so nice to meet you, Leigh and Gray!  What a nice surprise for our paths to cross!
