Tilie's Bridal Shoot - Furman

Tilie wanted a beautiful area for her bridal shoot. Furman University seems to be one of the most popular locations chosen. Tilie also picked the perfect time of the year, spring time! Lots of flowers and color surround the Furman Campus. As many shoots as we do at Furman for Bridals and Enagagement sessions, we never run out of places on the vast campus to create a beautiful portrait.

A few nuns were on a walk around the lake as we shot.

Furman Chapel Wedding

Amber and Patrick were married at Furman University’s Charles Ezra Daniel Memorial Chapel. It was a beautiful day and a gorgeous wedding. The word chapel may make you think small, but this chapel is huge and very pretty. After the wedding, we took the couple for some shots down at Furman Lake and the Bell Tower. Then we were off to the reception at the Poinsett Club in downtown Greenville.

Jenkins Family Photoshoot

I had the pleasure of taking my very dear friends to the Rock Quarry in Greenville. The Quarry is a little known park in Greenville at 200 McDaniel Avenue. With a stone bridge and a water fall and little nooks and alcoves to play in the Jenkins family had a lot of options for their family shoot. The kids, Christina, Kalie and Jakob, had a great time running around in the park! Although it was a little bit cold we had such a great time! Michael and family have been in my life for years and it was an honor for me to have them ask to photograph their family!

Myers Family Photoshoot

HAPPY EASTER!

The Myers Family met us in Falls Park Saturday morning for an Easter photo shoot. We could not have asked for more perfect weather!!! We started near the old spring and worked our way toward the bottom of the falls, photographing along the way. Little Hudson loved running through the green grass and tried to pick all the flowers he could along the way.
Abby is a Nurse and Nathan, her husband is a Fire Fighter. I figure that at times they see the same people; he rescues them and she nurses them back to health. We ended the day with a visit with a cute little bunny!
The time that we spent with them created a yet another family memory and I love the fact we were here to capture it all…

Tilie and Kevin are enagaged

Tilie and Kevin are enagaged! Tilie and Kevin wanted their enagagement session to start at Grace Studio. We photographed for about half an hour and then headed for beautiful Furman University. The weather was bright and sunny! (The curse of a photographer!) We strolled to the Japanse gardens and then down to the Furman clock tower taking photos all along the way. Tilie and Kevin were fun and full of life. Their wedding is only a month or so away!

Katie and Drew Engagement Shoot at Paris Mountain

Katie and Drew met me at Paris Mountain State Park for their engagement photo session. We had bad luck with the weather the weekend before, so we were determined to enjoy the park today. Katie and Drew first took us to the bridge where he proposed. I love getting shots like that. A photo of the couple right where they first started there journey toward being together forever…I am such a romantic! Be when he proposed there last year, it looked very different. It had snowed! We then walked to the outdoor amphitheater and played around the trees. Peek a boo seems so silly as an adult, but if I make you do it for a photo, it creates such wonderful laughter and smiles. Yum. We finally hiked over to the dam. A beautiful shady spot for some more romantic photos. I torchered them by asking them not to kiss for a few minutes. They were so close, but no kiss yet please…finally I let them make up for lost time. The photos were wonderful. Such a look into each others eyes. Love, passion, gosh I love my job.

Misty's Cliffs at Glassy Bridal Shoot

Misty grew up in Upstate South Carolina. As a child, she would hike with her parents to the top of Glassy Mountain and have a picnic lunch. Through the years, she spent many hours up on the cliffs with her family enjoying the mountain view. Later, the area was developed into a residential community. For her bridal shoot, I surprised her by taking her into the Cliffs at Glassy Mountain Residential Community and to the top of the mountain. Here, near the Cliffs Chapel, we did a photo shoot that was memorable for it’s beauty and for it’s emotional connection to Misty. Her whole family came and watched and joined in on the memories from the years past to now, the beginning of a whole new life with her husband to be, Robert.

Snow in SC is a rare thing...

As a photographer, I look for the rare shot. Snow in SC is a rare thing. Do I stay home with my wife and child, safe and warm? No. I can’t resist the urge to do some winter weather photography! Here are a few shots from downtown Greenville SC in the middle of a snow storm that has shut down every school in the area.
