Kelley & Ben | the wedding

Sep
2013

Back in February of this year, Kelley & Ben entered a contest I was having for an engagement session giveaway and there would be one lucky winner. Each couple would need to submit their story and photos and I would select three finalists. From there, the winner would be determined by the most votes via a comment on the blog. Kelley & Ben were neck and neck with one other couple with the other one only inching ahead by a few votes. There were over 500 which was awesome!! SO I just had to do something special for them because I truly was in love with their love story. Well…here we are several months later and in that time frame we have had their engagement session, the bridal session and now the wedding. I am beyond thrilled that they decided to have me as their wedding photographer. It has been such a fun journey with them both.

Kelley & Ben’s wedding was at Chattooga Belle Farm which was THE perfect fit for them. There were so many wonderful details as part of the decor that it was like finding candy for me. Eye candy that is!! From the restored Coke bin, to the hand painted biscuit bar sign, the glass bottles for guests to write notes for various anniversaries and then of course there was Bentley the bulldog. NOW…I certainly cannot say that Bentley was part of the decor, but he was a fun addition to the wedding day. After all, he is family. He even managed to get a wee bit choked up as he walked down the aisle which made for a few giggles. The scenery at the farm was truly breathtaking…quite magical actually. The entire day was amazing and I am so happy for them both. Thank you Kelley & Ben for having me as a part of your wedding. It was an honor! I wish you both the very best. Thank you to Angel for all your help and hard work – it means so much.

Congratulations!!

Thank you for stopping by!

Regina & Jeremy | the wedding day

Aug
2013

Regina & Jeremy’s wedding day was a perfect blend of elegance, class, beautiful emotions and funny moments. One of my favorite places in Greenville, SC is The Westin Poinsett and this is where they chose to have both the ceremony & reception. When Regina asked my opinion about having both there, I said it would be perfect. There are so many incredible locations to take photos both inside and around this beautiful historical hotel. The streets of downtown Greenville alone make for a great backdrop. Especially when you can briefly stop traffic to run across the brick covered streets and have a photo with the great banjo playing man in the red and white striped vest and straw hat! The rooftop is also a highly requested location for photos because of the great neon sign and view of the city.

When Regina & Jeremy left in the horse drawn carriage I thought about how their day had so many special moments and how everyone was so much fun to be around. They have a lot of love and support from great friends and family which was awesome to see. A huge congratulations to the newlyweds and another congratulations to Regina for pulling their wedding day together so quickly. Every little details was perfect. Bravo! Also, a big thank you to Erin Matthews for your assistance.

It was an honor to be a part of your big day Regina & Jeremy. I wish you two the most happiness!!
