Washington Park Wedding | Charleston, SC

Although Dayna and Nick live in Atlanta, they decided on a destination wedding in Charleston, SC. And if you know anything about Craig and I, you know that we LOVE Charleston. I graduated from the College of Charleston, and we have many friends in the area, so we absolutely love getting the opportunity to shoot there.
There is just something special about destination weddings...the intimate feel, the stunning location, guests on a mini vacation, truly relaxing and enjoying the celebration. And Charleston, being the number two destination wedding city in the US (second only to Vegas), is a great choice.
Dayna and Nick decided to see each other before the ceremony to have photos of just the two of them, with no pressure or stress, and to be able to walk with their guests from the ceremony to the reception. It was an absolutely perfect day beginning with the ceremony at Washington Park (Charleston's oldest park) and dinner reception at Magnolias Restaurant.

Occasions at Wedgefield | Part 2

Molly and Ross were married in a gorgeous ceremony in the Caldwell Pavillion at Occasions at Wedgefield. Although the forecast called for rain (and at times it looked as if the sky would open up at any minute), the weather held off for all the festivities! Now, as you can see, Molly makes our job easy--she is amazingly beautiful, inside and out.

Molly and Ross, we were blessed to be a part of your day. Congratulations, we know you will have a wonderful life together!

Love the moment right after a ceremony when a bride and groom have a chance to be alone!

Occasions at Wedgefield | Clemson, SC

I'll blog more from Ross and Molly's wedding soon, but I wanted to share a few images that I thought deserved special attention. Molly and her father have a special relationship, they are very close (which I think is obvious from the images of the toast and father/daughter dance below). I was so moved by their displays of emotion, that I wanted to share these images. I truly believe that the most important decision a couple can make in planning their wedding is the selection of a photographer--one who's photographic style and personality is the perfect match to theirs. When the wedding day is over, all that is left is your memories. A photograph freezes a moment in time, a moment that is gone in the blink of an eye. Looking at your wedding images will transport you back to your wedding and flood your heart with the emotions you felt on one of the most important days of your life. Wedding photographs preserve your family history and are passed down for generations and generations. I can only image what these images mean to Molly and her family, but I hope they bring joy to their hearts and preserve the memories of this day forever! This is why we love what we do!

-Enjoy!
