I’m so excited! The wonderful folks at The Wedding Row just emailed to let me know our photography of Tara & Will’s Wedding at the Daniel Island Club was just FEATURED on their popular wedding blog at: http://theweddingrow.com/?p=3287&cpage=1#comment-582. If you get a second, check it out and leave some luv…
Cami & I had so much fun at David & Megan’s New England Destination Wedding in Fairhaven, just outside Boston, earlier this year. So I thought I’d share a few pages from the layout of their new Storybook that we just finished designing. We’ve used a number of different design programs over the years…from good old Photoshop to You Select It to Soho Styler and more. But by far our favorite new tool is FotoFusion by LumaPix. Enjoy…
I have had such an honor getting to know Lisa & Clay over the past year. Their wedding last weekend will stay with me forever! Lisa is a teacher here in Charleston. Clay is a speech therapist. So they both have a huge heart for helping kids. They are both such genuine, sweet, and compassionate individuals…you couldn’t find a more adorable couple! When I first met them, they’d been dating about a year. Their friend Lizzie gets props for inviting Lisa to join St. Michael’s where they met. And their friend Charlotte had the honor of introducing them. Clay picked her ring out on his own (it’s GORGEOUS!) and totally surprised her by taking her up to the church bell-tower right at sunset and proposing to her. I’m a hopeless romantic at heart…so stories like this really get me. J
The wedding day was absolutely perfect. My good friend and fellow photographer, Kellie McCann, joined me on the big day. We met up with the girls at The Marriott where they were getting ready. The ceremony was at the beautiful and historic St. Michael’s Episcopal Church. Afterwards we did wedding party photos at White Point Gardens on The Battery. And finally we ended back at The Marriott for a rockin’ reception. Check out the music video with some of my favorite shots at www.chrisandcami.com/blog. Then head over to www.chrisandcami.zenfolio.com to see the rest of their wedding gallery.
CONGRATULATIONS Lisa & Clay! You guys are AWESOME! May God bless you as you begin this new journey together…
It’s quite amazing how many weddings take place in Charleston on any given weekend. So it’s not uncommon for me to bump into another wedding party being photographed by one of my friends. Last weekend I ran into my good friends and fellow photographers Joey & Kasey of Olive Productions at White Point Gardens! I saw them first and squeezed off a couple frames before Joey got the drop on me. J
We are truly honored and look forward to shooting many more weddings there. The staff was so friendly and attentive. Everything ran like clockwork. And it’s just such a beautiful facility to work in. I highly recommend looking at the Daniel Island Club for your next wedding or event.
Last week Cami & I had a really cool eSession with Heather & Marcus in Fernandina Beach, FL!!! They are such a great couple…young, gorgeous, and full of energy! They’ve been dating a couple years now and last September Marcus popped “The Question”. J They are from the Jacksonville area and selected Fernandina Beach as the backdrop for their portraits. It’s such a cute little historic town with lots of texture and ambiance, plus a great view of the sunset! Here are a few of my favorites…
Tara & Will were married on a gorgeous day overlooking the marsh at the beautiful Daniel Island Club. Tara is from Aiken but moved to Charleston. Will is from Florida, but moved to Charlotte. Even though they’ve been dating for like 3 or 4 years now, Tara & Will have never really lived in the same place. They will start their new life together in Charlotte after the wedding…finally together in the same town! J

CONGRATULATIONS to Tara & Will. You guys were AMAZING to work with and I’m SO happy for you both!!!
Jackie & Chris’ wedding has been a long time coming! But through all the ups and downs of Chris’ fight with cancer, the families rallied together and victory was claimed!!! I truly believe the difficult times in life draw us closer and strengthen our bonds beyond measure. I was witness to the evidence of these bonds time and time again throughout Jackie & Chris’ wedding day. It is such an honor and a privilege to have been able to share in this special day with such an AMAZING couple!
Jackie & Chris were married at the gorgeous Sunrise Presbyterian Church on Sullivan’s Island. After the ceremony, we walked across the beach to sink our naked toes in the sand and get some fun shots of the wedding party. Then we joined the PARTAAAAY on the Carolina Girl Yacht. I always love working with Captain Bob and his crew…they are top notch and always make sure everyone has a GREAT time on board!
Enjoy Jackie & Chris’ fun Music Video at www.chrisandcami.com/blog. Then head over to www.chrisandcami.zenfolio.com to see the rest of their photos. CONGRATULATIONS Jackie & Chris. You guys are a very special couple to me and I will never forget sharing this beautiful day with you!
Hi Chris, Today is Aaron and I’s third anniversary. Can you believe it? I wanted to thank you once again for the memories you captured for us that will last forever. Thank you again for being our wedding photographer! We loved working with you!

Last weekend I had the privilege of photographing Heather & Josh’s wedding at Boone Hall Plantation for our good friends Bill & Kelli Nixon. The ceremony was held at the rustic Cotton Dock. What a cool venue for a wedding! I arrived early, as usual, and noticed the decorators were draping these long, silky, white sheets over the huge wooden rafters. Seeing those rafters gave me the idea to mount a remote camera from one of the rafters to get this cool angle. In the first photo you can see the D300 with 10.5mm Fisheye super-clamped to the rafter looking strait down. The second shot is an image from the remote camera, which I fired with a set of PocketWizards. Fun Stuff!!!
Several years ago I photographed Jody’s sister’s wedding. So I was truly honored when Jody and her Mom decided to hire us to photograph HER wedding too! If you’ve been following the blog, you’ve already seen Jody’s beautiful Bridal Shoot and Jody & Gerald’s fun Engagement Shoot. So I knew before their wedding day arrived that THIS was going to be an awesome wedding!!! J Enjoy the slideshow below and then head over to www.chrisandcami.zenfolio.com to see the rest of their images.
Jody & Gerald have been together for about 3 years. They actually met at a NASCAR race…how cool is that?!? They were married at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church. Debbie at Country and Lace did a great job on the bouquets and flower arrangements. Their reception was held at the picturesque Charleston Yacht Club where Claire did a wonderful job keeping everything organized. Believe it or not, Jody’s dad actually handed Gerald the keys to his new red Dodge Charger so they could drive to the reception in STYLE! Dale must like his new son-in-law an awful lot! The reception was full of energy and excitement. Eddie “L” from Pro Wedding Entertainment did an amazing job as always. And the folks at Beyond Expectations kept the food stations fresh and tasty.
Some of my favorite images came at dusk when Jody & Gerald joined me for a little walk out on the docks to create some dramatic images with the sunset and the sailboat masts in the background. After the sun went down and we turned to head back in, a gorgeous moon was rising in the east! Serendipity is a beautiful thing! CONGRATULATIONS Jody & Gerald. You guys are THE BEST!!!
Lizzie & Charlotte are the unwitting masterminds behind “THE PERFECT COUPLE” that is Lisa & Clay! J They are the ones that invited Lisa to St. Michael’s when she moved here and introduced them. When he proposed, Clay planned this huge, fun, elaborate deal. He got permission to get the key to the bell-tower at the church, took Lisa to the top right at sunset, and proposed up there overlooking all of Charleston! She was very surprised. They went out to dinner afterwards and Lisa says he acted like a nut, telling everyone he passed “SHE SAID YES!!!”. Believe it or not, Clay actually picked out her ring on his own. I love that! And I LOVE the ring too. It’s so classy yet unique…just like Lisa. These two are absolutely perfect for each other and I am so honored that they have asked me to be a part of this special time in their lives.
