Deneene and TC

I worked with Deneene and TC a few weeks ago before the holidays. They are truly one of the most amazing people I have ever met in my life. Deneene has this sparkly personality that just lights up every room she walks in, which compliments TC's calm, cool and laid back character.

I tell you, these two will make it for a very very very long time.

I admire Deneene and TC greatly. I adore their love and respect for each other.

I wish them the best of luck and excitement during the next few weeks and months of planning their big wedding. I am thankful that I get to play a small part of their special day.

"Who says I work too much?"

Courtney and I took some time off in Edisto Island during the holidays with a couple of good friends, Ryan and Susan and Seth and Loralyn.

We didn't do much except ride bikes for a couple of hours, ate, drank some and watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre. And oh, we walked on the beach and had coffee at 8:30 am.

We fired up some wood during the night and talked politics, told jokes and drunken stories. Or should I say, they told drunken stories while I just sat and enjoyed the fire. :)

All in all, the vacation was nothing but peaceful. Ahhh... maybe we'll go back this spring. Just maybe. We'll see...

Stacey and Neil

Alright, so I promised you I was going to share Stacey and Neil's wedding photographs. We met last year and somehow with a little luck and charm, they cancelled all of their appointments with other photographers and commissioned me. I can't help but to appreciate these two for being such an awesome client and friends. One of the things that I love about being a wedding photographer, besides going to parties every weekend, is that I meet strangers which I later find the most wonderful people in the world.

The drawback to that is that I miss the people I meet and become friends with after the wedding and all obligations are settled. It is truly sad to think that I will not talk to Stacey and Neil again.

Hopefully that will not be the case with Stacey and Neil and other couples that I worked with.

The goal is actually not just be their wedding photographer. The objective is to have the privilege once again to photograph Stacey for her maternity pictures (yikes), their children and their children's children. Hopefully, I'm still around when that time comes.

At any rate, Stacey and Neil's wedding was truly magical. Everything just came together perfectly. Their friends and family were so adorable and fun. It was such a blessing to have everyone come together and celebrate the wedding of Stacey and Neil.

The wedding was held at the Bethel Presbyterian Church in Walterboro. The reception followed at the Dogwood Country Club.

I very much enjoyed documenting the entire event. I loved working with Stacey and Neil's friends. They were so nice and fun to photograph. The party was awesome... and the band was just as fantastic.

I think my favorite part of it all is when Neil sang to Stacey. Man, Neil, you can sing brother!

I really enjoyed there wedding that I wish it was Stacey's wedding every weekend and that i was there photographer!

Back in Business

Ok so, I've had some problems posting on my blog lately. Holiday orders, holiday shopping and obligations, 2 weddings and 2 engagements and a week long trip to Louisiana got the best of me. So... Happy New Year to everyone. My greeting's a little late, but better late than never.

I met Elizabeth and Steve a few months ago. We scheduled their engagement session in mid december and we decided to go for a look that represent Charleston. So, we went on East Bay St. and took some shots there and proceeded to the beach to finish up.

It was truly truly truly a joy working with Steve and Elizabeth. They were such good sport that I didn't notice a couple of hours had gone by. I cannot thank them enough for giving me the opportunity to cover their wedding. I wish them the best during the next few weeks and months planning their wedding day. I cannot wait 'til June.
