Cami and I just finished designing Meaghan & Christopher’s Storybook from their wedding this past summer. It came out AWESOME! I can’t wait to see the real thing when it comes in.

I was SO HONORED to be a part of Jennifer amp; Bobby’s wedding last weekend. Although they now live in Atlanta, they chose to have their ceremony at the gorgeous Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church here in Charleston. Getting to know these two over the last few months through their fun engagement session at The Battery and Jennifer’s AWESOME bridal shoot, I already knew their wedding was going to be one of my favorites of the year. I wasn’t wrong! Jennifer amp; Bobby had their reception at the classy Harbor Grill right on the Charleston Harbor. Everyone had an AMAZING time. CONGRATULATIONS you two!!!br /iframe title=”Showit Web Slideshow” style=”BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000″ src=”http://www.chrisandcami.com/slideshows/JenniferAndBobby/iframe.html” frameborder=”0″ width=”510″ scrolling=”no” height=”690″/iframe

I had the honor of photographing Dr. Rahul Argula of MUSC the other day. Originally from India, he comes to Charleston via Houston. He had a very kind voice and gentle demeanor. We had a lot of fun and created a number of different images for his portfolio. This was one of my favorites. The moody background goes well with the pensive expression. At the end of the session, Dr. Argula told me I had a good “bed-side manner” and would be excellent at calming a patient’s anxiety. Hmmm…I wonder if that’s why all my stressed-out brides always thank me for helping them relax!

Patti & Dave are real troupers! In spite of it being really cold on the day of their beach shoot, they decided to go for it. And I’m so glad they did…the lighting was truly magical! We had a lot of fun. And since our Henry has four legs and fur, Honey & Houdini (their dogs) took me in right away.

Now I KNOW you’re wondering how in the world I got Honey & Houdini to look out towards the ocean! Well, I’m not telling…it’s a secret…shhhhh.

It may have been raining on the outside, but Sonja and Mark’s wedding last weekend was PURE SUNSHINE in my heart! They were such a fun couple to work with. Their wedding was held at St. Mary’s, which was the very first Catholic Church in South Carolina! The beautiful sanctuary is always a pleasure to work in. Following the ceremony, their reception was held at The Mills House where the Signers Ballroom was decorated to the hilt. Everyone had a BLAST until it was time for the happy couple to leave in their classic getaway car.

Thanks for all the kind comments!!! I’ve had a number of emails asking who the musical artist is.

Thought you’d get a kick out of this! After that last shot of Tracie & Eric’s family, their 3-year old snapped this one of me. He’s going to be a real gadget-guru…I can tell! I’m standing on the same rock they were on a second ago. But he’s on the other side of the rock with the sun at his back. I’m literally being lit by the same SB-800 that gave them that rim-light. And “YES”, I really do get THAT dirty playing in the sand during portrait sessions…HEHE!!!

I was shooting some head-shots for Anchor Commercial (one of my FAVORITE corporate clients) earlier this week. Some of the team members had a meeting that ran late, which gave me a few minutes of free time. So I pulled out my trusty old 50mm f1.4 Nikkor lens and shot some candids a-la the style of journalism you see in photos around the White House. Here’s my friend and fellow Ohio transplant, Jessica. She really WAS talking to a client and was quite annoyed that I was taking her picture! Doesn’t she have a great smile? ;0)
