It was said by Mike Van Gieson that his wife Dana “Started planning Katie’s wedding the day she was born. And it is a good thing it was a girl or a Jake or Sam would be wearing that dress!”. That just shows the amount of time, emotion, passion and desire that was put into this wedding for Chris & Katie and every detail was perfectly displayed. It was extremely important to Katie that a lot of thought went into the guests and their enjoyment as well as making sure it was a perfect day for her and Chris. Katie wanted an all black & white wedding, yet splashes of color for the reception. The color at the reception meant that the party had started! Each table beautifully displayed it’s own colorful cake and the head table had several lining the two rows of seating. The grooms cake, a replica of Clemson’s Death Valley was incredible and was certainly a conversation piece. Katie’s great great grandfather attended Clemson in 1898 and taught the family to love both the school and boiled peanuts 🙂 Chris is also a graduate of Clemson.
When the DJ announced the newly wed couple at the reception, Chris bowed as Katie approached him and his smile went ear to ear! Once dinner was complete, the rest of the evening was filled with energizing music, dancing, laughing and fun. Vinnie the DJ and his dancers had the guests on the floor all night long while playing a perfect mix of songs.
The entire wedding weekend went just as Dana and Katie had dreamed it would be and I was thrilled to be a part of it. Dana told me that I am considered as part of the family and that warms my heart. Everyone has been so awesome to work with and I look forward to the day I get to do so again. Thank you Chris & Katie for allowing me to be a part of your very special day, congratulations to you both! Also a big big thank you to Abbie & Leslie for all your hard and creative work!!

When I was discussing the details of the Roberts Family session at their lake house & log cabin in the North Carolina mountains, I heard “well Lisa, I am afraid with all the kids it is going to be more like herding cats than getting everyone together for a group shot”. I laughed and and replied “no worries, we will have fun!”. This is not my first time working with the Roberts and their extended family, and I have really enjoyed getting to know everyone over the years and see kids grow up as well. Dr. Roberts and his son-in-law Dr. Bruner joined together recently to open Plastic Surgery Center of the Carolinas in Spartanburg and the office is absolutely amazing! Dr. Roberts has been a plastic surgeon in Spartanburg for many years and is recognized around the globe for his work. I have had the opportunity to work with Dr. Roberts & Dr. Bruner on a professional level as well, doing many of their website, staff and office photos and working with New Beauty Magazine on a couple of occasions.
I truly look forward to seeing everyone and having an opportunity to “herd cats”…actually the kids did quite well despite the crazy heat and commotion of getting so many people together for pictures 🙂
Thank you for stopping by!
