Lisa & Clay were finally married last weekend. So it’s safe for me to finally reveal some of Lisa’s gorgeous Bridal Portraits from her shoot in charming downtown Charleston. J I posted some of their really cool Engagement Portraits here: https://chrisandcami.com/blog/2010/03/29/lisa-clay-rock-bowens-island/. But I just couldn’t post any with Lisa’s dress until now for fear of Clay “snooping” around to get a peek at her dress! Just kidding…Clay would never do that.
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!!!
While we were at our reunion, my brother and his wife asked me to photograph their son’s Senior Portraits. He’d had some done back home in Oregon, but they just weren’t thrilled with them. Since Shawn is very into his music, and a killer guitar player (he performed a solo for his classmates at their graduation ceremony), we borrowed my uncle’s guitar for a prop. Shawn’s such a great kid and I had an awesome time photographing him. Maybe when he gets to be a super star he’ll let me shoot his first Album Cover….HA! J
I photographed Jacci & Scott’s wedding two years ago. It’s hard to believe since I remember their Big Day like it was yesterday! So imagine how excited I was to hear they had started a family. They were coming back to Charleston for vacation and asked if I’d be willing to do a few photos of them. Are you KIDDING?!? It was so nice to see them again, catch up, and meet little Jack. The really funny part is, they were married at Sunrise Presbyterian Church…and Jackie & Chris’ wedding last weekend was at the same location…coincidence?!? Hmmm….
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!
Yesterday evening I was “on walkabout” doing an Engagement photo shoot with one of my favorite couples EVER! We were just walking along, having a blast, and getting some cool shots…when suddenly on the other side of an old brick wall I could hear a camera clicking away. I peeked around the corner and who should I see by my good friend and fellow photographer, Nathan Bell of Richard Bell Photography! Nathan’s a great guy with a wonderful sense of humor…so we both immediately went into mock horror mode…like “hey man, what are YOU doing in MY shooting space?!?” Then we busted out laughing and introduced our couple to each other, and chit chatted for a few minutes before carrying on our separate ways. But before Nathan could get out of sight, I enticed his couple into this zany pose with him. It’s always fun bumping into friends while out shooting. J
Kim & Michael are a sweet, gentle, amazing couple from Aiken. For their Engagement Shoot, we did a double-whammy. As I was driving downtown to meet them for the first part of their shoot, the wind was blowing and the sky looked dark and foreboding. I was concerned, but soldiered on. When we met up, I found out they were concerned about the weather too. But we decided to be adventurous and go for it. We were rewarded a few minutes later with beautiful light. By the time we got to Folly Beach for the second session, the sky had turned into this AMAZING backdrop. WOW!!! I love how the images turned out. Many thanks to Kim & Michael for being so much fun to work with and being willing to brave the elements to humor this passionate old chaser of DRAMATIC LIGHT! J
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!!!
