Kira + Peter

Posted on September 11, 2008

Luckily I was in Hilton Head the week before the hurricane was supposed to hit! Martin and I drove down for Kira and Peter’s wedding over Labor Day weekend. We stayed in Beaufort, which is a great little town to visit if you want to get away for the weekend.

Kira and Peter had such a beautiful wedding at Indigo Run Golf Course at Hilton Head Island. Guests drove from all over the country to be a part of their celebration. It was a special day and was just perfect.

Here are a few of the pictures:

The Bride and her stunning girls!

The groom and his men….

Ceremony shots and details…

Finally together….

And I have to say I was quite impressed with the dancing!

Susan + Erik

Posted on August 18, 2008

This summer my associate, Erica, has been busy helping me in the office and shooting weddings of her own. She has just done a phenomenal job with her shooting and I couldn’t be happier! I wanted to share some of the work she has done this summer.

Susan and Erik were married in Cornelius and Susan just thought of so many cute details! Here are a few of the pictures:

And this wedding was before the “Sex and the City” movie, and when I saw her blue shoes for the “something blue” I thought she was so clever……apparently Carrie Bradshaw thought so too!

The two together……

And off they go….on a motorcycle no less! Love it!

Emily + David

Posted on August 11, 2008

Several weeks ago I had the privilege of documenting Emily and David’s wedding. The wedding day was just perfect! They were married at New Jerusalem Lutheran Church and the reception was held at Rock Barn Golf and Spa. I wish the best to the both of you!

Some getting ready shots:

The boys….(mostly State grads, but we won’t hold that against them!)

A few around Rock Barn….a really beautiful place!

And a dancing shot…..(thanks to Jay of Rick Reynolds Productions for the nice lights!)

Aspen + Jay

Posted on July 7, 2008

I was so excited about this wedding, but a little sad at the same time because I have really enjoyed working with Aspen over the past year. Well, she finally married the love of her life several weeks ago and the day couldn’t have been more perfect. They were married at Shuford Gardens in Hickory with a reception at Lake Hickory Country Club. Aspen did not forget one detail and the whole day was inspiring. Jay was the perfect groom; happy and so smitten with his beautiful bride!

Here are a a few images:

They had a reading from The Velveteen Rabbit that was so touching.

The uber-cool groomsmen. I hate I missed their jam session!

The stunning bride…

And the groom

Aspen is just beautiful.

And the dress is pretty, too!

Loved the colors and the way the tent was decorated.

Finally together!

Summer + Jake…just one

I know dad is anxious to see pics of his little girl, so I thought one sneak peek was in order.

This was taken in Norfolk along the bay….just love the rocks! I will post more soon!

Hana + Darren

Posted on June 12, 2008

Several Saturdays ago Hana and Darren got married at the beautiful Kilburnie Inn in Lancaster, SC. It was a perfect day to get married outside! And if you are currently looking for a location to get married I can recommend the Kilburnie Inn. It has a rustic charm that makes for such a lovely and relaxed environment to get married.

When I took this image this is what I saw so I had to do a little work in Photoshop to make it fulfill my vision. I really love the vintage look it created.

Another portrait of the beautiful bride.

And the crazy Volunteer girls! V-O-L-S!

Some details….everything was so fresh and spring!

And here we have the handsome groom. (not a Vols fan…..played football across the street at Vandy!)

And the groomsmen…can you tell that they all met on the football field?! Such a fun-loving group of guys!

Every girls dream….to be carried away on horse and carriage!

A quick portrait before the party starts.

This was their last dance. The entire floor cleared so that could have one last moment on their wedding day.

And the exit……

Are you still alive??!!

That is what message my friends leave on my voicemail and probably what most of you are thinking! Yes, I am still alive! Just traveling, shooting, meeting some really fun people and cute babies, sitting in front of my computer, etc, etc.

Anyway, thought it was about time to share again so I picked out a few favorites from a recent Biltmore Wedding. Jaclyn looked beautiful and Perry was so much fun! The day was coordinated by Nicole Riley of Verge Events, so I knew it would be a perfect day! The flowers were arranged by Blossoms at Biltmore Park.

Here are a few:

Kristy + Matt

Posted on May 6, 2008

I am plowing away through my huge deficit of photographs, but *knock on wood* things are working properly again!

Before all of the craziness began, I was so excited about this image from a wedding at Childress Vineyards a couple of weeks ago. I thought I would quickly share it and get back to work! See you when I crawl out from under the pile!

The Anticipation

Posted on March 27, 2008

This past week I have been working on the pictures from Kristen and Dusty’s wedding. I know they are REALLY excited to see them and they are almost done! There are just so many of them that I love, I thought I would share different categories of images on a new blog post. This post is called anticipation not just because they are excited to see them, but also because the images I have chosen are from the “getting ready” shots of the day.

A few details first

The shoes….

The dress….

The earrings….

The all too cute flower girl showing off her purple fingernails! She was so excited to dress up like all of the big girls!

Getting made-up by the fabulous make-up artist, David. For all of my Hickory brides looking for someone to do your make-up give David a call! He did such an amazing job with just about every woman in the wedding! His email is davidzealy@charter.net and his phone number is 828-962-6752.

The look on Morgan’s face is priceless; she has a thing for people touching her hair and I think just about everyone was surprised how good she was to sit and wait on Erin to do her little up-do. Erin did everyone’s hair and you will see more of her later this year as she is getting married in August! If you need a nice up-do, send her an email at erin_imagestudios@hotmail.com.

A laugh while putting the dress on…

And dad gets to see her. I love the picture not just because of the expression on her dad’s face, but also the other faces looking at her.

No explanation needed….

The wait is almost over….I am almost finished with all of them!

Clemson Skies

Here is a sneak peek of my last Saturday wedding in Clemson when the storm had passed. Makes for a beautiful sky.

Also, don’t forget to come by Saturday to get your child’s picture made for Easter. We will be here on the square Saturday until 2. Come ready to party…we will have cake and punch. (and of course coffee!)
