After their beautiful wedding, Maniesha & Travis met up with me for a fun After-Shoot in historic downtown Charleston!
We met at Waterfront Park, explored the old French Quarter, stumbled onto some cobblestone streets, found some black iron gates, and even hit up famous Rainbow Row. We had a BLAST, and came up with some really cool photos together. Both Maniesha and Travis are very creative and I loved all their amazing ideas!
CONGRATULATIONS to Charleston’s newest newlyweds!!! 🙂
Maniesha & Travis are so in love!!! It was an honor to be a part of their beautiful wedding yesterday morning at Boone Hall Plantation. It was a simple, elegant affair in the picturesque courtyard behind the plantation house. The touching ceremony included God’s Knot, for “A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Many thanks to Cori of Reynolds Treasures for bringing all the details together!
Hailing from Colorado at the moment, Maniesha & Travis have traveled all over the country. As a heavy equipment operator, Travis gets job opportunities both near and far. Being a travel-junkie myself, I love that they are getting to see the world together. Even their adorable son, Dallas, seem to be taking it all in stride! 🙂
After the ceremony we had a fun time exploring the plantation property, photographing beautiful images along the way. Stay tuned for more awesome images of these two in Parts 2 and 3 of their epic elopement to Charleston!!!
I love teachers. And I love computer geeks. So I was DOUBLE excited when Samantha & James asked me to be their wedding photographer!!! Cami & I owe a HUGE thank you to our friend, Sam’s mom Tricia, for steering them our way! 🙂
Sam & James tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in the old original sanctuary at St. Andrew’s Church. Sam’s wedding gown was absolutely GORGEOUS…she looked like a princess in a fairy tale. James was looking pretty suave in his suit and suspenders too! One of my favorite moments in the whole day was when they turned around from the alter and took a moment to look back at all the friends and family that had come out to support and celebrate this special day with them!!!
After a quick stop for some fun wedding party photos at White Point Garden, the festivities continued with a fabulous reception at the Historic Rice Mill. I always love shooting there. What a cool venue! From the first dance to the dramatic sunset photos, from the cake “smashing” to the exciting glow-stick exit, the reception was a non-stop party like you’ve never seen before. Everyone had a BLAST!!!

A big shout-out goes to all the vendors for helping make this day such a success. A giant hug goes to Cami for all her help and expertise. But most importantly, a huge CONGRATULATIONS goes to Sam & James! You guys truly have a love that is pure and true. We wish you all the best for a beautiful new life as you journey down this new path together…
When Jennifer called to ask if I was available for her wedding date, I was so excited to say YES!!!
I had photographed her sister Ashley’s wedding several years ago and remembered how much I loved working with their family then. It’s been a pleasure getting to know Jennifer over the last few months as we ironed out all the details. Last weekend, the big day finally arrived!!!
Jennifer & Matt were married on her cousin’s lawn, on a gorgeous day, overlooking a beautiful creek on James Island Jennifer was absolutely stunning in her elegant wedding gown. It was an honor to finally meet Matt, who is an INCREDIBLE guy, and madly in love with Jennifer!
From the very first touches of makeup, to the grand finale when everyone jumped in the pool…it was clear that this was a match made in heaven! To see the rest of their photos, check out their gallery at http://chrisandcami.zenfolio.com/jennandmatt.
CONGRATULATIONS Jennifer & Matt!!! May your lives continue to be blessed without measure…
When I lay hiding in the itchy bushes, heart pounding with excitement, photographing Casey’s secret proposal to Bekah several months ago…I had no idea that one day I’d also be photographing him placing the wedding band on her finger in marriage!
What an honor it was to be there for Bekah & Casey at their beautiful wedding in the lush countryside outside Mullins, SC. It was such an elegant affair, with the old rustic barn decorated with tasteful floral arrangements and antique lighting displays. Friends and family came from far and wide to witness the joy of this special day!

Bekah was absolutely stunning in her whispy flowing gown and fairy-tale wreath. Casey was decked out in a handsome suit. Both of them wore their favorite shoes, which were also present on the day Casey asked for Bekah’s hand in marriage! It was so cool to know that those special shoes and I were the ONLY witnesses for both of these magical celebrations of their love for each other!!!

CONGRATULATIONS Bekah & Casey! We wish you all the best as you begin this new journey together!!!
Last week Sarah & Todd finally tied the knot on a beautiful hillside, overlooking a gorgeous lake, in picturesque Shenandoah Crossing Resort!
Sarah & Todd were a personal referral through Cami’s Aunt Marian, who is good friends with Sarah’s mom and Sarah’s aunt. Once we started talking to Sarah, everything just “clicked”, and we knew it was meant to be! Meeting with Sarah months ago during the planning stages of the wedding confirmed our feelings…THIS was going to be an amazing wedding!!!
The week before the wedding, Cami and I drove up with her Aunt Marian and Uncle Joe, to enjoy the history and beauty of Virginia. We had a wonderful few days, getting to know the area the wedding was in…lush vineyards, green hillsides, and curvy country roads.
The morning of the wedding dawned with beautiful sunshine and happy faces!!! Sarah was absolutely gorgeous in her fitted gown. And Todd was looking pretty dapper himself. 🙂
The ceremony was down right perfect…right down to the geese serenading guests as they whistled overhead! The reception was filled with excitement and energy all night long. Everyone had a BLAST…and we were know exception!!! To see ALL the crazy fun photos, visit http://chrisandcami.zenfolio.com/sarahandtodd.

CONGRATULATIONS, Sarah & Todd! May your lives be filled with nothing but meadows as you begin this new journey together…
Photographing Darcy & David’s AMAZING destination wedding in Augusta has been the highlight of our year!
Darcy & Cami are long-time “tennis gals”. And it’s always an EXTRA honor when good friends like Darcy & David ask us to be a part of their special day. We can’t thank them enough for allowing us to be there for them, and to capture all the fun and excitement of this beautiful time in their lives!!!
Darcy & David’s ceremony was held at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, while the reception was held at the Augusta Country Club. Both were absolutely gorgeous venues! It seemed like all of Augusta turned out to witness this incredible day. And with so many fabulous friends and family in attendance…this classy affair turned into the party of the century! It was like having the best of both worlds!!! 🙂

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing a fantastic corporate event at Edmunds Oast for the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors! They are a great client, and we ALWAYS enjoy working with Claire and all the fabulous Charleston area realtors!!!
As the Official Photographer of the Volvo Car Open, my job isn’t just to cover on-court action! Here are a few scenes from this year’s amazing VIP Welcome Reception.
This was the first year it was held at the Cedar Room. I must say, this venue at the beautifully restored old Cigar Factory is absolutely incredible! Many thanks to Graham, Lauren, and all the talented folks that made this year’s event such a huge success!
Of course the usual VIP’s from Meredith came out in full force. This year also saw all the incredible folks from Volvo, as well as other great sponsors like Lisette, in attendance. Tennis celebrities like Pam Shriver, Cliff Drysdale, Rennae Stubbs, and Lisa Raymond were there. Even the one and only Martha Stewart made an appearance!
There are many behind-the-scenes parties and events that I have the pleasure of photographing…but the VIP Welcome Reception is always one of my favorites!
An advanced photographer in his own right, I’ve known Rob for a little while now. As much as I respect his work, to be selected by him to photograph his wedding is a true honor! We had so much fun capturing all the beautiful moments of Rob & Jennifer’s wedding at Harborside East two weeks ago today!!!
While on a mission trip together in Guatemala, Rob carefully selected a special ring, hand-woven by locals from native grasses, to use as a symbolic engagement band. Later in the trip, during a quiet, romantic moment, he asked Jennifer to be his wife! Isn’t that an awesome story?!?
Fast forward to two weeks and we find these two soul-mates exchanged their vows overlooking Charleston Harbor from the beautiful deck at Harborside East. Surrounded by close friends and family, cloaked in God’s love, this time they exchanged gold rings, and pledged eternal commitment to one another.
CONGRATULATIONS Jennifer & Rob! In the words of Solomom, “My beloved is mine and I am his.” Song of Songs 2:16
What a blessing in my life, to be able to share in the happiest day of other’s lives!!!
Catie & Justin are one of my favorite couples EVER!!! It’s been such a joy getting to know them over this past year on the many photo shoots we’ve shared, leading up to their beautiful wedding last weekend. They are such a unique couple, with a genuine love for each other that is pure and true!
I have to send a HUGE shout out to another one of my favorite couples, Jay & Erin, for introducing us. I had the distinct honor of photographing their wedding four years ago, in which Justin was Jay’s Best Man. Last weekend the roles were reversed, with Jay returning the favor…quite enthusiastically I might add!
The ceremony was held at the historic Boone Hall Plantation, on the rustic Cotton Dock, overlooking the tranquil marsh. With such a beautiful backdrop, an awesome wedding party, and such an incredible couple, Laura & I were able to capture so many wonderful images of their special day! Many thanks to Christy Loftin for making sure everything ran perfectly throughout the day, to DJ Wade for spinning those amazing tunes, and to all the other vendors that made this celebration so special.

Originally from Delaware, Catie us a nurse. Justin is an IT engineer. There is an amazing story about how Justin & Catie had their first blind date whem they went out with Jay & Erin for an afternoon on their boat. It was the first time Erin had met Catie. The two became instant friends! Naturally, Erin went to put Catie’s number in her phone. And when she did, she added her contact as: “The Future Mrs. Boucher”!!! 🙂
Well, Catie, you are no longer the “Future” Mrs. Boucher! You are THE Mrs. Boucher!!! CONGRATULATIONS to both of you…may your love go stronger day by day!
