Lori and Chris’ Elegant Boone Hall Wedding

October 8, 2013/in Uncategorized, weddings/by admin

Lori and Chris wanted a classic, elegant wedding that really highlighted vintage Boone Hall Plantation. Everything from the cotton boutineers to the mason jars showed off a rustic yet sophisticated look that outlined the huge Oak Trees at the entrance to Boone Hall. Wedding hair was by Carrie at Paper Dolls Wedding Hair & Make-Up. Modern Trousseau helped Lori pick out her beautiful mermaid style gown. Stephanie at Sweetgrass Events and Tiger Lily florist created a beautiful reception that used silvers, ivories, and pops of purple throughout. Old photos of the bride and groom were displayed in old rustic frames and hung up to show off the bride and grooms personal style. Lace and burlap were a staple as decorating pieces to pay respect to the South! Many of the decorations were handcrafted by the mother of the bride. Good Food Catering brought southern favorites for guests to dine on. Entertainment by DJ Mateo Jones had guests dancing all night. Cakes by Kasarda created a beautiful four tiered white cake that featured cascading purple flowers. To end the evening the bride and groom were showered with lavender, cheers, and tears!

Chad & Holly’s Stunning and Romantic Boone Hall Plantation “Day After” Session

May 13, 2013/in day after session, Uncategorized, weddings/by admin

Many of you may remember Chad & Holly’s incredible wedding day story from October 2013. Chad was in a car accident the day of the wedding and fractured his L1 Vertebrae. But they were still able to say I Do that day.

Well it was about five months after the wedding, and we were able to go out to Boone Hall Plantation for their wedding photos! It was an absolutely gorgeous day. Holly wore her dress again (and WOW, Mell Bell and I remembered immediately why we loved it, she looks amazing). Chad was able to wear the suit that he was unable to wear at their wedding. Chad is doing great! His back is still healing and he has gone back to work. They both are so in love and it shows in every photo how grateful that are that Chad survived the crash ON HIS WEDDING DAY and that their love has great even more through this!

It may sound cliche, but every day is truly a gift!

Michelle is absolutely adorable! Her and Justin have been together since high school. Since it has been a long time in coming they really just wanted their special day to be a time to spend with each other and their family members. They had personalized Jones Sodas, which were absolutely awesome! Love, love, love it!

Ellen & Ryan’s Dunes West Ceremony & Reception

November 7, 2012/in weddings/by admin

I sincerely cannot say enough about how everything about this wedding was perfect! The night before the wedding I photographed the rehearsal dinner at Cottage on the Creek. It was really great to meet all of Ellen and Ryan’s friends and family. Everyone was very kind and I enjoyed spending the evening with them, especially on such a gorgeous night. The next day the weather was just as amazing! Ellen and Ryan chose to have their ceremony under the other large tree by the water (which was the first time I have seen it set up there, and I loved it). Hanging in the center of the aisle, from the tree was a beautiful chandelier. The sun shining through the moss during the ceremony made the setting even more fantastic. Ryan’s family is the name sake for the Wynkoop Beer Company, so there was plenty on hand, as well as the story for everyone to read. The only place suited for their night shot had to be back at the ceremony site, and I think it was a great ending to their picture perfect day!

Scott & Lorilee’s Alhambra Hall Ceremony & Reception

November 7, 2012/in weddings/by admin

Scott & Lorilee put a lot of planning into their special day! There were lots of gorgeous details and beautiful flowers! Before entering the ceremony they played a video by Film Anywhere. It was wonderful to hear their story and see them interacting together on the beach, hanging out and even working out. Cupcake provided lots of flavors of cupcake goodness! And I love the shots of the two of them after the ceremony under the tree and their night shot with the bridge lit up! It was great getting to know this awesome couple!
