JANET + JEFF - wedding at Adam's Pond : Columbia, SC wedding photographer

Janet and Jeff had a perfect wedding.  We promise we are not exaggerating!  It really was perfect.  When Janet first told us about her design for her wedding, we (Aaron) just fell in love.  Janet said she wanted her wedding to feel like you were transported to a french garden...and you did!  Her beautiful florals from our friends over at American Floral did a stunning job.  Adam's Pond was amazing as always, and there were so many wonderful details that made the day feel wonderful.  Even the weather decided to cooperate and it was literally perfect. From Janet's stunning makeup done by our good friend Jamie of Eyebrow Junkie all the way down to the timing of the ceremony, the day could not have been better. We loved that they released butterflies, and loved even more when they didn't want to come out of the box!  It made from some laughs and fun during the ceremony. We also loved the comparison and resemblance that Jeff shared with a fond photo of his grandfather.  If you're up to it, you can even play eye spy with Jeff's goPro cameras.  He had then stashed and hidden all over to capture the whole day :) We hope you enjoy a few of our favorites!   

Lots of love to some wonderful vendors!

COREY + ERIC - amazing wedding at 701 Whaley : Columbia, SC wedding photorgaphers

For Corey and Eric, having a wedding that was anything short of fabulous was just not an option.  And let us tell you, their wedding was FABULOUS!  One of our big roles at the beginning of the day is we like to try and keep our couples and bridal parties as on time and calm as possible.  Well, we did manage to stay on time, and the rest is history :)  But it all fit so well with everyone's personality, I think somehow the chaos was just perfect. Everyone was loud, in charge, and so happy and excited they just couldn't stand it I think.  The wedding ceremony was just beautiful too.  Melanie Murphy and her team over at By Invitation Only did an incredible job throughout the entire event. The ceremony was held at 701 Whaley in one of the smaller ballrooms.  Vines wrapped the beams, candles and lanterns hung from the ceiling, and the chuppah was just breathtaking. Candles weren't the only thing hanging from the ceiling.  Corey and Eric's SUSPENDED cake was a first.  I think every guest took a picture of it because it was just so spectacular!  Parkland outdid themselves on the cake, and the presentation by Melanie and the girls was one of a kind. The details were grand and the party was unforgettable at this wonderful wedding.  We hope you enjoy some of our favorites from not only an amazing wedding, but most importantly an amazing couple.  Congratulations Corey and Eric!  

And we can't forget to mention the other fabulous vendors that made this day great!

JESSICA + BRIAN - wedding at Senate's End : Columbia, SC wedding photographers

Jessica and Brian are old souls.  Everything they had to offer was just a bit different.  They had their own flair and we loved every minute of it.  As a photographer, sometimes brides ask you very specific and pointed questions.  Questions you are not really sure how to answer because in an instant you see two outcomes.  One good, and one bad.  Jessica, was always the good outcome.  While she was getting ready, excitement was just buzzing through her and around the room, she turned to Aaron and said "Does my dress make you think of the little mermaid?"  How to answer that question?!  I (Aaron) smiled, and said, "It looks lovely.  Very different from anything I've yet to see."  Jessica responded proudly "I love it!  It reminds me of the Little Mermaid mixed with White Christmas!"  (a sigh of relief :)  )  That really set the tone for the whole day for us.  Jessica couldn't have been happier with any aspect of her wedding day....and it showed. I say Jessica and Brian are old souls because of the wonderful thought and detail put into their wedding day.  Jessica wore a silver pendant on her wrist.  A gift from her grandfather to her grandmother.  She even wore her grandmother's veil.  She had a style all her own, and everything had a wonderful elegance to it. We had the wonderful opportunity to do a first look with Jessica and Brian.  Brian was so excited he turned a whole 20 feet too early, but it was just as sweet and memorable :)  Their mass was beautiful and full of their personality.  You'll see one of our favorite photos of Jessica, turned around during the ceremony to give her parent's a wink and thumbs up!

The reception was an elegant affair with a first dance that brought the house down.  Another thing we love at weddings are surprises during the father daughter dance.  Jessica and her dad did not disappoint.  With elegant details and fun all around, their reception was a night to remember.  We loved being there.  We hope you enjoy some of our favorite memories from their day.
