A bit of Brandon & Melissa’s story was shared when I blogged their first engagement session. I say first engagement session because they both wanted to do pictures in the Clemson stadium, but when the first e-session was scheduled the orange seats in the stadium were not out and those bright orange chairs make a big difference in photos 🙂 So we had part 1 & 2 for the engagement pictures, but it was just another opportunity for us all to have fun and get to know each other more. Melissa also had an amazing bridal shoot and I will finally get to share those photos now that Brandon has seen the dress. A separate post will be made for the Clemson & bridal pictures.

It really is great how these two crossed paths…they met at the Spinx Half Marathon after meeting through a running group and then Brandon saw Melissa’s picture on Facebook. They ended up planning to meet at the race but with so many people it made it really tough to find each other. So, Brandon waited for Melissa at the finish line, said hello and handed her her medal. How awesome is that?

Congratulations Brandon & Melissa!! I am so thrilled to have been a part of your wedding day and the events leading up to it. Your smiles make everyone around you smile and I wish you all the happiness for years to come! Thank you to my assistant photographer Leslie…you’re awesome 🙂

Here are a handful of images and the slideshow to follow. The link to the online gallery will be provided tomorrow.

I LOVE doing Senior shoots and I want my Seniors to LOVE their shoot 🙂 Wow that is a lot of S’s in that sentence. Jenine and I started out at our first location to only find that there were about 20 wasp nests right where we wanted to move around!! I am not so good around anything that stings so it was surprising that I just didn’t say “let’s go to another spot”. BUT thank goodness we didn’t because it turned out to be the perfect location AND those wasps left us alone…taunted us a bit, but didn’t sting. Whew.
While shooting, I noticed a perfect 1950-something Ford pickup truck and went to ask if we could shoot around it but not touch. Well the owner was nice enough to not only let us shoot next to it, but drove it to the place we were shooting. So cool! Once we finished with the first location we took a short walk to the next spot to only find that there were people all around the train tracks. I asked the police officer what was going on and he said that BMW was revealing their new X3 and a train would be rolling in at any moment. So we just HAD to stick around for that which made for some great shots!
What a perfectly fun day full of surprises…including me falling while backing into a hole. Yepper…never a dull moment. Thank you Jenine for a great day 🙂
