Danielle & Dawson's Wedding at Cliffs of Glassy

Wow, a lot has happened since we last blogged! We've had several weddings, including a double wedding weekend, an awesome Trash the Dress shoot, one of us has gotten older and we gave our website and blog a fresh new look. Not to mention we are cooking up a bunch of new ideas and promotions that we will be unveiling shortly. What a whirlwind! For now, onto the first of our double-header weekend.

Danielle and Dawson's wedding day was a lot of fun for many reasons.

1) They are an awesome couple! Just check out the post we made for their engagement session and you'll see what we mean.
2) There colors were classic black and white...with a dash of Hot Pink and tiger stripes!
3) The Cliffs of Glassy is always a beautiful place to photograph (except for maybe the few minutes of monsoon and hail storm that day).
4) Danielle clogged in hot pink heels and a wedding dress!
5) One word: KARAOKE!


Even with her hair in rollers she's beautiful!








Of course Dawson didn't look bad either. ;)


The ladies sporting their hot pink heels. Danielle waited until after the ceremony to don hers.





How cool is this?! Hot pink and tiger striped details.


Dawson's first glimpse of his beautiful bride.











After a very touching father-daughter dance, Danielle and her dad busted out some serious moves including the "Chain Saw" and the "Sprinkler" .


Nice air time!

OK so after the reception we followed the newlyweds to La Bastide for some more creative, romantical shots. When we pull up there wasn't a single light on and we could barely see the entrance. Turns out the monsoon hail storm knocked out the power and there was no chance of getting it back till morning. Bummed but not deterred, we gathered all the candles in the lobby for some candlelight portraits.


Not bad for total darkness, eh?! (Thank you D3's!)

Danielle & Troy's Wedding in Greenwood, SC

Danielle and Troy tied the knot down in Greenwood, SC recently and we had the pleasure of capturing it for them. They are a lot of fun and quite funny themselves but their wedding had so many hilarious moments that every time we look through the images, we catch ourselves giggling! Here are a few from the day to inspire some giggling in you.






Troy may be a football player/coach on the outside but on the inside he's a big softy and Danielle's card really got him.














Maybe it's just us but this series of Troy describing his oh-so delicious lunch just cracks us up! Perhaps it's because we share a similar passion for good food. :)


You can tell by the way he holds her that Troy loves his wife.


The sweet getaway car.








We like to think that this look denotes a mutual understanding: "You smash me, I'll smash you harder!"


Karaoke always brings out the best in people...and provides a few good laughs.

Carolyn & Chris' Wedding

Back in June we were privileged to be a part of a day long party known as Carolyn and Chris' wedding. The whole day was so much fun and it didn't stop at the end of the reception either. Oh no, there was even an after party at Blu, a club in downtown Greenville. Those Gamecocks really know how to have a good time! Don't worry Clemson fans, we love you all equally ;)

Below are some of our favs from the day as well as a slideshow but first we've been dying to share some of Carolyn's awesome bridals!


















Carolyn sported some hot red heels to show her Gamecock pride.








Carolyn's mom walked her down the aisle but not before sharing some laughs and emotions.


At Aldersgate Methodist you are not allowed to photograph the ceremony from inside the sanctuary but can through the beveled glass door just outside. The beveled glass can make for some beautiful effects as we saw at another wedding there last year. This one was instead shot through the 1/2" gap in the doors.











The cake itself was beautiful but most people were more interested in the personalized cake topper. They are cutouts of images of Carolyn and Chris adhered to acrylic. Pretty neat idea!


GRRRRRRR!





The Soul Train line is the perfect opportunity to try out your robot moves! :)





A little booty shakin' at the after party!

Karla & Drew's Engagement Portraits

We love to be different and we really love it when couples see that in us and encourage it. Karla and Drew are one such wonderful couple that we are blessed to know. They told us from the beginning that they don't want their engagement portraits to look like everyone else's. Little did they know we had some funky ideas floating around in our heads just waiting for an adventurous couple!

Here are some of our favs. To see more be sure to check out the slideshow below!



We just love the quality of light you can find in a parking garage. Look at that buttery goodness!





A shiny nickel to anyone who can guess where we went next...

Story Time: There were a few moments throughout the shoot where Drew was hinting at a booty squeeze. Far be it from us to dissuade anyone, in fact, we encouraged it! It's a wonderful thing when people we are photographing feel so comfortable they just let loose and have fun.








We were really jonesin' to do this next shot.
