Wedding: Philip & Sarah (Greenville SC Photographer)

Philip & Sarah were married at Calvary Baptist Church in Simpsonville, SC. They knew, however, that there weren't a lot of options for photos at their church because it was undergoing construction, so they thought outside of the box when it came to their wedding photography. First, they chose to see each other prior to the ceremony so they could take all of their photos before and then head straight to the reception afterward. They also decided to use The Garden House Bed & Breakfast in Simpsonville for their pre-ceremony photos. What a great idea! Using the beautiful grounds of the bed & breakfast gave a completely different look to their photos than if they had done them all at the church. This shows that a little creative thinking and planning ahead can help you get the most out of your wedding day photos.

Love the emotion that can be captured when a couple see each other for the first time prior to the ceremony...yes, that's a teardrop on Sarah's cheek.

"The Kissing Jar"...put a dollar in the jar and the newlyweds have to kiss!

Bridal Portrait: Sarah

Bridal portraits don't have to be limited to your ceremony or reception venue.  Sarah "borrowed" her friend's home for her bridal portrait session and we were able to get a great variety of photos there.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Engagement: Casey & Cameron (Glendale Shoals Preserve)

I met Casey & Cameron at Glendale Shoals Preserve in Spartanburg, SC for their engagement photo session.  I loved the old buildings that are near the preserve...great for pictures!  Now, before you check out these photos, I have to make a disclaimer.  Sometimes photographers enhance the eyes in photos to make them appear brighter.  Well, no need for any effects here...these are Casey's naturally beautiful bright blue eyes! :-)

Casey & Cameron found a new friend along the way.
