I always LOVE working at The Wentworth Mansion! The cupola is so cool, the history is so rich, and the people there are always so nice. So when Ashley & Sherrod told me that’s where he proposed and that’s where they wanted to do their Engagement Session, I was STOKED!!! We had a blast and got a ton of fun images. Here are a few of my favorite. You can see the rest at www.chrisandcami.zenfolio.com…
Every now and then I get the chance to work with someone truly gifted in their talent. Pamela Lesch of www.makeupartistcharleston.com is just such a person. Most recently I had the privilege of working with her at my Wireless Lighting Workshop. She did an amazing job giving our model, Brittany McDougal, that special “look”. THEN, she was kind enough to feature us on her very popular Blog. Check it out: http://charlestonmakeupartist.blogspot.com/2010/02/let-there-be-wireless-light.html. If you need an extraordinary Makeup Artist, I highly recommend Pamela!!!

Danella, a wonderfully gifted designer and photographer, built it for us…to be totally and uniquely “US”. Bookmark it. Visit often. We hope you enjoy this new window into our world as we continue along this journey with you!
OK, just a couple more shots from the Wireless Lighting Workshop. These are from my good friend and fellow Nikon Aficionado, Ron Montgomery, of Cane Bay Photo. Thanks for sharing Ron!
I truly enjoyed hanging out with Jody & Gerald during their Engagement Shoot. I photographed Jody’s sister’s wedding a few years ago. So it’s been a real treat reuniting ties with her family and getting to know her better, and see what a beautiful young lady she’s become. I knew Gerald & I were going to hit it off as soon as I met him with his famous baseball cap. If he could wear that thing at the wedding, he probably would. J He’s so laid back, easy going, and fun to be around. I’m SO EXCITED about being their wedding photographer!!!
I have to send out a HUGE thank you to my good friend and fellow photographer, Richard Middleton, for referring Holly & Joseph to me. They were so much fun to work with!!! Our quirky personalities, love of a good laugh, and appreciation for classic rock matched up perfectly! 
Holly & Joseph were married at the gorgeous Mt. Pleasant Presbyterian church. I LOVE shooting here. The ceremony was beautiful, especially with the sanctuary all decorated for the holidays. Their reception was at Alhambra Hall…one of my favorite reception venues. As always, Frankie did a beautiful job with the floral arrangements. And DJ Doug kept the party rockin’.

CONGRATULATIONS Holly & Joseph! You guys were AWESOME!!! Keep the flame alive…
I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Adrienne & Corey over the last year. They are such a neat couple and SO photogenic!
Last week they tied the knot at Dunes West. It’s such a beautiful venue with a great staff! My good friend and fellow photographer Kate McKinley was shooting with me that day. We had just enough time to photograph Corey and Adrienne’s “First Glance” as well as portraits of the two of them around the grounds before the rain came. Hey, that’s supposed to be good luck for them, right? Doug Farmer, my favorite officiate in town, united them. Eddie L from ProWedding Entertainment, my favorite DJ in town, rocked the reception. And Corey’s Mom made the cake!!!

Heather & Sam were married Saturday at the historic Trinity United Methodist Church. As a visual artist, I absolutely LOVE military weddings! Heather & Sam’s was no exception. They were both so photogenic, easy going, and wonderful to work with. Their reception was held at the Dunes West Club House. These are just a few of my favorites. Click Here to see the rest of their AMAZING story!
CONGRATULATIONS Heather & Sam!!!
Joy & Michael had an AMAZING wedding celebration last weekend!!! Their day started out at the fabulous Wentworth Mansion…a beautiful and historic place I always love photographing in. They were married on the Carolina Girl Yacht with The Battery as our scenic backdrop. Camille did a fantastic job as usual orchestrating everything. All of Joy & Michael’s friends and family were on board to help them celebrate. So the party went on non-stop throughout the evening as Captain Bob and his crew took us on a romantic cruise all over Charleston Harbor.

I photographed Adrienne’s Bridal Portraits the other day. Isn’t she UNBELIEVABLY beautiful?!? We got so many awesome images from her shoot! This was one of the very first ones.
I loved how this shaft of late afternoon sunlight was making the fuzzy ferns glow. So while she was in the changing room, I had figured out that I wanted to place her here where her veil would get that same angelic rim light. Then I popped up a Nikon SB-800 in a small EZ-Box on a Bogen 3333 lightstand off to her left. (Ask me why her left next time you see me.)
Here’s the “before” without the SB-800. I had a slight warming filter on the remote flash and triggered it via a set of Radio Poppers. They were shot with a Nikon D3 and 70-200 f2.8.
Apryl & Ben were a kind referral from my friend and wonderful fellow photographer, Karyn Iserman. We originally met on Valentines Day last year. As much “in love” as these two are, I thought that rather fitting. Since then I’ve enjoyed getting to know them through their fun Engagement Session and Apryl’s gorgeous Bridal Shoot. We photographed the Bridal Shoot on historic Church Street since that’s where Ben proposed to Apryl. Awww….
Apryl grew up in Charleston. Ben’s family moved around a bit, but finally settled here. The two met in high school. But they didn’t really start dating until they re-connected at a football game during her senior year of high school when he was home visiting from college. How romantic!
Their wedding day was absolutely perfect. After a rainy week, the weather was beautiful! They were married at the very photogenic French Huguenot Church downtown. The fabulous Melissa of Charleston Celebrations kept everything running smoothly. And the reception was at the Society Hall, just a few blocks away, where the Mighty Kicks rocked the house!
Apryl & Ben were so much fun to work with and so photogenic in front of the camera! Click Here after watching the slide show to see the rest of their photos. CONGRATULATIONS, Apryl & Ben!!!
