In the midlands of South Carolina...

I just recently photographed a wedding in the Midlands of South Carolina, 

on a little Plantation called Buck Ridge.

It was such an amazing place, perfect for a wedding!

It is actually a hunting preserve (which I don't care for since I love animals alive, rather then .. you know, dead). But it was still beautiful.

 When you first pull into the plantation, you drive through Leland Cypress Trees, then it turns into Bradford Pear Trees, then you have a field on the left, and a gorgeous colonial style home on your right, when you keep driving, you see the pond with a bridge going across, and a waterfall, let's just say, it's the perfect place for a wedding ceremony.

 As you keep driving, you have Pine Trees to your left, and the Hunting Lodge to your right, and if you were to keep driving, you would come up to cabins nestled in the woods. On the other side of the Plantation, you have another Colonial style home and a lodge, there is also Fields, with gorgeous Horses, and dog kennels for hunting.

It was a simple wedding, I would say there were maybe 100 people or less.

The ceremony was outside (let me just say that we have been getting very strange weather here in the South, one minute it's sunny and beautiful, and then the next minute it's windy, and raining). So during the ceremony it was sunny, then clouds rolled in, so they had to have the reception inside. Which sucks for me, I hate shooting photo's indoors. If you've seen my work, you know I prefer outside, with natural lighting. Oh well, good thing I was working with another great photographer.

It was a very fast wedding, we got there at four, took pictures, had the ceremony, went to the reception, watched the couple dance, everyone ate delicious food, then it was time for the cake, and then the tossing of the bouquet, and garter, then a little dancing, and it was over by 9:30 (but we stayed and took drunk pictures of the bride and groom, along with the bridesmaids and groomsmen, they were all so hilarious)!

Congratulations to Josh and Nicole!

And thank you Amy for giving me a chance to do this with you! 

Hello Grace..

I was looking through Charleston Magazine and came across this State of Grace Fashion Shoot, I thought to myself, these are the most gorgeous gowns! I love how the gowns are so elegant, and the scenery is so simple, but beautiful. As I was looking through these pretty little photos, my friend Amy, from A Daring Little Life, texted me and said 'Don't let me forget to talk to you about picking a date for us to go and test pictures in the church'. Oh my gosh, I totally forgot about the wedding we will soon be doing! I am very excited to do this wedding, and better yet, I get to have my best friend, Amy, there with me! I am a little nervous, it will be my first wedding, but at the same time I am super pumped to go take pictures of the things I love; fashion, food, and people having a little fun! Hopefully one day I will be posting my pictures of gorgeous gowns in Charleston Magazine.

Love..

I just love these wedding photo's from Charleston magazine, it kinda makes me want to get married..
