The hot, sticky, summer heat gave way to a gentle respite last weekend…just in time for Ashley & Sherrod’s Big Day!  J  I met up with Ashley at the historic Wentworth Mansion, where Sherrod had proposed to her in early November.  Fittingly, we had also photographed their Engagement Portraits in this picturesque B&B.  Sherrod met up with us there the two of them exchanged their First Glance before the mayhem of the wedding day began.  Then it was off to Trinity United Methodist Church, the oldest in South Carolina, where they were married in a beautiful service.  Their reception was held at the South Carolina Society Hall, a venue with great character that I always love working in!

CONGRATULATIONS Ashley & Sherrod!  May you forever stick to each other like glue…

As days turn into weeks…and weeks turn into months…I often catch myself thinking of the amazing people I met in Romania.  It’s hard to believe that was July and we’re now moving into September!  So I thought I’d post some of the images that gripped me the most from that amazing experience.  Not surprisingly, they were all images of the beautiful faces I met along my journey.  Enjoy!

Faith & Michael Bessinger (yup, of the famous BBQ restaurant in town), are friends from our old Sunday School class at Ashley River Baptist.  When they called to let me know they were expecting their third and wanted to do a Maternity Family Shoot on the beach with me, I was THRILLED!  Here are some of my fav’s.  J

Last weekend, Bethany & John were married at the picturesque and peaceful I’On Creek Club in Mt. Pleasant.  They had the good luck of a little rain on their wedding day.  But it certainly didn’t dampen any spirits and cleared up in plenty of time for us to zip downtown for a fun photo shoot with the weddig party before the reception.  Bethany & John are from Ohio.  And they are major Dog Lovers.  So when we first started talking back in February, we had that much in common!  But then…Bethany told me how important getting great photos of her wedding day were to her…I was hooked!  J  We had a FANTASTIC time finding some really cool “Iconic Charleston” locations to get some great photos in.  Then it was back to the Creek Club for a really fun, laid back, northern style party!

CONGRATULATIONS Bethany & John!  We wish you all the best for a beautiful new journey together…

Cami & I are members of C3.  Last weekend Pastor Randy asked us to do a few snapshots of everyone that’s involved in a ministry position at the church.  So we had a little fun with it…brought a colorful seamless background Sunday morning, set up the Creative Lighting System, and did a full-on fashion photo shoot.  I shot with one of the Nikon D3’s tethered to a laptop, then transferred images to the media team to add bio info and project on the screen.  As you can see, everyone let loose and really had a great time!  Pastor Randy just started a new series called “Big Questions, Real Answers”.  You’re welcome to join us!!!  

“All I can say is WOW!!!!! It looks amazing!!!! It is above and beyond what I had expected. We are extremely pleased with what you have done.”Cami & I finished designing another beautiful Storybook the other day for Jennifer & Robert.  This was Jennifer’s reaction.  J  I had such a wonderful time at their wedding.  Jennifer & Robert are just the coolest couple in the world!  Sometimes when we’re in the design stages, pages just seem to connect and the story of their day just flows together beautifully.  See more from their wedding at http://chrisandcami.com/blog/2010/05/05/jennifer-robert-at-the-unitarian-church/.  Here are a few pages from their book.

Did you know Irish author Bram Stoker based his horror novel ‘Dracula’ on the fifteenth century Wallachian Prince, Vlad Dracul of Romania?  So many photos from my trip to Romania last month…still trying to find time to edit & share them all!  J  Here’s a few scenes from the streets.  Enjoy!
