JESSIE + MATT - wedding in Camden, SC : Columbia, SC wedding photographers

March 21, 2013 in Weddings

Some small cities in South Carolina are just full of charm. We had the great opportunity to photograph in Camden at the beautiful Bethesda Presbyterian Church and Spingdall Hall Country Club. Both locations were so cute, and the perfect fit for Jessie and Matthews wedding. Right before Jessie was getting ready to walk down the isle that day, we (Aaron and Jessie) got to talking about how beautiful the weather had turned out that day. During those short few minutes, Jessie told me all about how she and Matt had put a ton of thought into choosing the day they wanted to get married. They considered Daylight Savings, the Carolina Cup, what time the sun would be setting ... everything. It was really was such a special moment to hear Jessie talk about all their planning right before walking in to meet her future husband. It really was a beautiful day with a wonderful couple, and great people. We hope you enjoy a few of our favorites from the day.

ALYSSA + CHRIS - wedding at St. Paul's Lutheran Church : Columbia, SC wedding photographers

March 22, 2013 in Weddings

We loved building our relationship with Alyssa and Chris. She entered not one, but three of our enter win drawings at different bridal shows. No one word described Alyssa and Chris better than cute. We loved being a part of their wedding day. There were so many special moments that honestly made us even have to work to hold back the tears. The moment her dad turned around to see Alyssa in her wedding dress for the first time is beyond words. It was so special, and we were so happy to be there capturing every gasp, smile, and tear. We get requests quite often to set something up where the bride and groom can talk and hold hands either behind a door or around a corner. One thing we loved about their time with this special new tradition is that Chris literally looks like he might just go through the door to see his soon to be wife. You can see the happiness and all the other emotions on their faces. That's what we live for. We love those moments, and are always on the lookout for little nuances between the couple we are photographing. They had a beautiful ceremony at St. Paul's where Chris's father is the minister, and also the one who performed their ceremony. After that their reception was at the fantastic Congaree Vista Room at the SC State Museum. We enjoy some of our favorites from their day!

Special thanks to everyone who was played a part in making their day great!

ELIZABETH + WILL - bridal session : Columbia, SC wedding photographer

March 21, 2013 in Bridal

We were over the moon when Elizabeth started talking to us about including Will in her bridal session. One of the reasons it was so exciting is because it was our chance to meet Will before the wedding day. Elizabeth and Will lived out of town (far away in a very cold part of the country) so we had been doing everything with Elizabeth either over the phone, or on her short trips to Columbia. It's a rare treat when we get to do a bridal session with the bride and groom. On the day of the wedding, there are just so many things going on and schedules to keep, we don't get to spend quite as much time as we would like to with just the bride and groom to really explore our creativity. This is our chance :) We had the great opportunity to shoot out at one of her friends houses on the lake. Here are just a few of our favorites from their session.

ASHLEY + MITCH - engagements in Columbia, SC : Columbia, SC wedding photographers

March 03, 2013 in Engagements

So, it might be a little late to put you in the holiday spirit, but we are finally happy to put up a few images from Ashley and Mitch's engagement session. With our extremely busy end of the year last year, we got just a tad behind on our blog. Something we've been working hard to fix :) We worked with Ashley and Mitch on their engagement session back in December, and decided to embrace a little of the holiday spirit in their engagement session by heading out to the Christmas tree stand, and lighting a tree on the lot. It really was fun, and we loved working with Ashley and Mitch. Enjoy!

ASHLEY + ANDY - wedding at Wintergreen Woods Lexington, SC : Lexington, SC wedding photographer

March 02, 2013 in Weddings

We love doing multiple weddings for families. It's so much fun for us to be able to come back together with a family and photograph another child getting married. It's like a mini reunion for us. We were so excited to hear from Ashley after she got engaged. We shot he sister Amy's wedding back in 2009 and it was one of our very first paid assignments. We owe so much to Amy, Brandon, and their family :) Here are just a few of our favorites from Ashley and Andy's beautiful winter wedding. We hope you enjoy!
