The Candleberry Inn hosted a beautiful wedding and reception.


After a ceremony in the main hall...


We moved to the reception area for BBQ and Cake.

The live band played on...







As the couple made their exit, Joy had a surprise set up for Lee.
A beautiful 1950 Oldsmobile 88 Four Door Sudan! Lee was in tears.


The couple made a quick exit, and were chauffeured off to start their life as Mr and Mrs!

Regan and Jon


Regan and Jon got married a Twigs, near Haywood Mall. I thought Twigs was just a little flower shop. Twigs is a HUGE and beautiful wedding location!



Regan started her day at the hotel getting her hair and makeup done.


Makeup, hair spray, and champagne. What a perfect combination.


Then it was off to Twigs to get the dress on and take some pre-wedding shots. Dad and daughter looking sweet.


A beautiful ceremony and an incredible reception.

Regan was crying and laughing at the same time as she came down the aisle as Mrs. Baxter. So lovely.






I could never catch Regan off guard. Candid shots are few an far between of Regan, she always had a smile ready for me. The reception was a great time for all.

Emily and Chris

Emily and Chris are now married!

The Gassaway Mansion hosted a beautiful ceremony and reception today.
A little help with the shoes and we are ready to go.

No, you aren't allowed to see each other until AFTER the ceremony, but that doesn't mean I can't get your photo together. So sweet.


The beautiful bride waiting to start the ceremony.


The Gassaway Mansion. What a sight. Built in 1925, it really feels like a small Biltmore right in Greenville, SC.

The weather was perfect, the wedding was amazing, and the reception was fantastic.

Nickie's Bridal

Nickie is a HUGE Clemson fan. I am talking about HUGE!!!
She is A Clemson University graduate and a member of Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority.

Here she is at Tillman Hall, on the Clemson campus.


Howard's Rock is a must for a Clemson bride!

I surprised her with my Clemson Orange Lazy Boy in the middle of Death Valley. I love artsy fun shots.

Hard core Clemson girl! Check out her tattoo, her brick in Death Valley, and her ring.



Very near the stadium is this bridge. She loved it!


Down at the practice field we tried to run into the football team. What a great group shot that would have been.

I am so happy I got to shoot here since I also grauated from Clemson!

Katie's Bridal Shoot

Katie's Bridal shoot was a mixture of in Studio photography and on location shooting at The Acanthus on Lake Lyman.

Not only was the house beautiful, but their new Model T also made the place unique.

Give me some attitude girl!

Fun in our studio with some unique lighting...

In my opinion, a gorgeous bridal shoot. What do you think?

Christy and Robert

Christy and Robert were married today in downtown Greenville at Mary's Restaurant.

Christy's Mom laced up the dress. It took time, patience, and love.


We waited on the top floor of the Westin to be given access to the roof. Beautiful hotel with beautiful hallways!

Christy was able to to have some photos taken atop Greenville's Westin Poinsett Hotel. We had a blast!
Mary's Restaurant served as the ceremony location as well as reception. The prelude music began at 6:30pm, with a 7pm ceremony taking place on the patio, beside the restaurant, in the garden.


Greenville's Downtown was a beautiful background for their after Wedding Photography.

Karen and Mathew

The Cliffs at Glassy Chapel is amazing. It was 90 degrees, but still get chill bumps as I walk up to the edge of the cliff and see the view before me. Wondrous. Karen and Mathew, whom I photographed back in November 2007 for their engagement photos, were married today.

The clouds helped to make this a particularly gorgeous shoot. I got this shot the previous evening during the wedding rehearsal. I try to attend all the rehearsals so I can scope out the locations and see the flow of the wedding. I know where to stand and what is coming up next. (Every wedding is different.) This allows me to get even better photos the next day at your wedding!


Then again, the clouds also kept me on my toes, going from full sun to cloud cover every few minutes.


Here is the beautiful bride in the mountain breeze...


The gents were busy playing around before the ceremony.







Smile Wedding Party!!!







Did I mention the Cliffs at Glassy is Spectacular? After the wedding we even managed to get some shots on the Cliffs famous golf course. One hundred and eighty degrees of view from upon a peaceful mountain. You look out into the distance in the quiet and take in the view before you, marveling at it's beauty. Looking down upon soaring hawks as they ride the mountain updrafts, you feel at peace. What a wonderful place for a chapel.
