A lot was going on in Charleston, SC on April 2, 2011. The annual Cooper River Bridge run which attracts 40,000 enthusiastic runners and their supporters. This was also the weekend of the Family Circle Cup tennis tournament. But most importantly, this was the day of Tyson & Maggie’s wedding!! Being a runner myself, it was quite a rush to see the finishers walking downtown Charleston as Leslie & I were heading to start shooting at The William Aiken House on King Street. The city had come to life with music, chatter, laughing and absolutely amazing weather conditions. There was a good bit of wind, but it was all really enjoyable. The house was still being decorated when we arrived and I could quickly see that there was so much attention to all the little details. Tyson & Maggie’s program was so beautiful that it had a little portrait session of it’s own! We set up a shot to mimic the program and I placed them side by side in an image below.

Tyson & Maggie decided they wanted to do the ‘first look’ which worked out brilliantly. We were able to capture their expressions from all angles and then went straight into taking pictures of the two of them and then the wedding party. This allowed them to go right from the ceremony to enjoying the reception once the family formals were complete. The East Coast Party Band did an amazing job and kept everyone on the floor dancing the night away.

Congratulations Tyson & Maggie! I wish you both much happiness. It was an honor to work with you and your families. Thank you Leslie for all your hard work!! Please enjoy the handful of images below and the slideshow. The online gallery will be ready to view shortly.

Today’s post by Leslie:

Today is all about inspiration! Brides can pull inspiration from all different places. Inspiration can come from their lives, their home or places they have visited. However, one of the most popular places to pull inspiration is from wedding blogs. There are a ton of wonderful wedding blogs out there to help you with inspiration from everything to color scheme, decor, wedding dresses and more.

I love to look at these blogs for inspiration myself. As a photographer, I am always trying to stay up on the trends in the wedding industry. Brides often ask for my advice on lighting, color schemes and decor. So visiting these blogs helps me stay current with the ideas.

These blogs are also a wonderful way to get my work out there for other brides to see!

Because there are so many wonderful blogs out there dedicated to weddings, I thought I would highlight a few of my favorites and help you narrow down your search for inspiration! Beware…you may be glued to your computer upon clicking on the below sites. They will become an addiction!
