Have you ever stood on the field at Williams Brice Stadium? We have :) When we were talking about locations with Liz and TK, there was no question. We were going to do them at the stadium. It was really exciting being on the field with not a soul in the stands. Liz and TK are huge Gamecock fans, so it was really fun for them. Here are just a few favorites. Enjoy!
We are so excited for Nick and Grace's wedding. It's true :) We always tell our couples the reason we include an engagement session in our wedding packages, is because we want to get to know them. Truly. Those two hours when we get that couple all to ourselves, no distractions, just us... it's so important. It's our chance to really get a sense of not only who they are, but what kind of couple they are. We really strive to give each couple a unique set of photos. Sure we have our starting point. Our places of familiarity where we can create the beginnings of a relationship with them. Things we do with most of our couples, but it's those things we do that lead to the really great stuff. It's the same reason we don't provide props. If we did, everyone would have the same stinkin' photos. We learn if they are a cutesy couple, romantic, or just can't stop laughing with each other. We just loved getting to know Nick and Grace. Their session was actually at a boy scout camp that Nick came to growing up. It was fun for us not being the tour guide for once. Here are a few of our favorites from our time with them. Hope you enjoy!
Angie contacted us wanting to do a bridal session. After a few email exchanges, we found out she was already married, and wanted to do a nice session in her dress with her husband Jim in a few of the photos. We were even more excited when Angie told us she would like to do the session out on their property in the cotton fields. Now, Josh is a born and bred South Carolinian. I (Aaron) am originally from Florida, so to me, cotton is exciting :) We were so pleased to work with Angie and Jim. They were a beautiful couple and it really showed. I think Jim was excited when we asked if they wanted to do anything on the farming equipment. Low and behold, he brought out the cotton picker. It was a massive piece of machinery, and we all had a good laugh while we worked on their portraits. Here are a few of our favorites from their session. We hope you can see how much Angie liked to laugh. It was wonderfully infectious.
Amanda was a pleasant surprise. We say she was a surprise because we were called up to do her portrait session just days before it was scheduled. Long story, but we were so happy to come in and work with Amanda on her portraits. She had already chosen the Horseshoe for her location which is always a fun spot to shoot. We love not just the main part of the Horseshoe, but all the little nooks, crannies, and what seem to be secret gems hidden among the shrubs and walkways. With both Josh and myself (Aaron that's me, writes these blog posts if you were ever wondering being graduates of USC, we've both spent plenty of time traveling the Horseshoe Me probably more than Josh, but we like to think we have the inside scoop :) Huge Kudos and thanks to both Martha Ann Williams for doing a wonderful job on Amanda's hair, and to Jamie Tran of Eyebrow Junkie for doing a stunning job on her makeup. She looked fabulous!
Jamie Tran is one of our favorite people. It's just a fact. We first met Jamie back in 2010 as she was doing the bridal makeup for one of our brides. Jamie is a super talented makeup artist who has started her own business as Eyebrow Junkie Makeup Artistry. We not only love working with Jamie as a talented artist, but we loved working with her and her sweet family for their family photos. Here are of course a few of our favorites from their session. Oh and Jamie and Timmy took this opportunity to announce something exciting. Can you guess what it is?! Be sure to check out Jamie and her work as well!
