Sydney & Sam's Engagement Portraits

We had an awesome time with these two at the amazingly beautiful Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards recently. Not only did this place have some gorgeous buildings and landscaping, but we even found a beach! Sydney and Sam truly made the shoot great though because they are so comfortable with each other and just had fun with it.

Here are some of our favs.




























We can't wait for their wedding at the Cliffs of Falls South!

Kyla & Jimmy's Big, Fun Greek Wedding!

Forgive the horribly obvious movie reference but it does accurately describe our experience at Kyla and Jimmy's wedding. It was big, with over 300 people. It was Greek, from the beautiful ceremony at St. George's Greek Orthodox Church in Greenville to the Greek band, A Night in Athens, and the accompanying Greek dancing. And it was fun, really really fun. Mostly because Kyla and Jimmy are so much fun and also because it was a like big reunion for us with several of our past brides being in the wedding party.

Here are some of our favorites from the day with a few of Kyla's gorgeous bridals thrown in.












































Things started off pretty tame for their first dance but then they surprised everybody with some fancy footwork to the tune of "Fly me to the moon".


The ensuing look of surprise and joy from the parents.


One of several Greek dances that had us, and what seemed like the whole room, spinning in circles. One feisty lady even tried to get us to join in.


Kyla & Jimmy,

We have had so much fun with you guys, from Charleston to Clemson to your awesome Greek wedding. We don't want the ride to stop! But we are certainly glad that we got to share in all the excitement with you and we wish you many more years of excitement together. Thanks to you and your wonderful family and friends for making your big day such a great day for us.

Shanee & Kevin's Wedding

Shanee and Kevin's wedding was a pleasure to be at with family and friends who were all so nice to work with. They had a fun-filled reception at the Hilton in Greenville. Rita and her crew always do a wonderful job and their lobby is a great spot for some romantic images. Here are a few of our favorites from their big day.
























We love catching those sideways glances.


Love how you can see the smoke in this one.











The father-daughter dance had everything from tears to laughs.











Can you tell we were diggin' the dramatic reflections?!

Becky & Russell's Engagement Portraits

These two lovebirds are a lot of fun and just plain funny! We are really looking forward to their November wedding because we know it's going to be a HOOT (yeah we said hoot!) and because we can't wait for some cooler fall weather.

Becky and Russell are great to work with because they are laid back, keep each other laughing (and us too) and they aren't afraid to get goofy!



We've got to give 'em props for being willing to go into this old abandoned building for us. Luckily no one contracted tetanus.





Like we said, they don't mind goofing around.


But they can also be incredibly sweet to each other.





Russell was up for giving Becky a lift...


but we were more impressed with Becky's feats of strength!
