Conway Wedding Photographer | Wedding Resources

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to let you know I added a new page to my weblog. It’s called Wedding Resources. Which can be found under the Information menu up top.

This is where I will be adding a list of wedding service providers to help brides plan their wedding day.

Planning a wedding can really be stressful for a bride, and anything I can do to help lessen that, I will.

The list hasn’t grown to it’s full potential yet, but it is on it’s way!

If you know of someone that provides wedding day services for brides or you’re a provider yourself, email me some details to see about being added to the list.

Even if I’m not your wedding photographer (and yeah, that’s okay too), anything I can do to help brides on their day is an honor. Brides have enough to deal with and maybe this list will help in some way.

Thanks for reading my weblog and have a great day!

Conway Wedding Photography – Brandi + Jason

The clock was getting closer to the 1PM wedding start time and I arrived about 28 minutes ahead of schedule. I watched the snow melt away, it would have been nice to have had wedding pictures with snow covered grounds and all, but sadly it wasn’t meant to happen. And that is fairly typical here in the south, we can have six inches of snowfall over night, but yet have it melt away by noon that day!

There was one awesome thing that did happen though, and that was the wedding between Brandi and Jason! It was great seeing the love that they share for one another. Their wedding reminded me of my own wedding too. They had a ceremony only wedding, just themselves, just the pastor and his wife, just Gail and I.

It was lovely, just them getting married and expressing their love for each other, seeing their smiles and happiness and I was there capturing it! It could not have been any better, even if there wasn’t any snow on the ground!

Here are a few photos from their day.

Brandi and Jason, you both are beautiful and you had a beautiful wedding. May you have much happiness and success!

James

Pawleys Island Wedding Photography – Kerri + Thomas

He loves her. He loves her with every ounce of his heart.

Thomas has always taken care of Kerri in such a tender and caring way that it was no surprise, when after 6 years into their relationship he asked for her hand in marriage. So it was fitting for the two of them to host a tender and caring wedding with no detail overlooked.

Over one hundred and thirty guests traveled to Pawleys Island for their ceremony and the Pawleys Island Chapel served as a gorgeous backdrop. With her rotunda suite overlooking the grand low country marsh in Litchfield, Kerri stepped onto the the weathered wood of the boardwalk and into the sun. As the band set up in the Tara Ballroom at Litchfield Beach and Golf Resort, she shielded her eyes from the bright sunlight with one hand and waved to her father with the other. Much like a princess in a tower, Kerri looked down hoping to maybe get a sneak peek of Thomas, but before she could, Kerri’s bridesmaids beckoned her to don her gown and prepare for her sunset ceremony.

Im so calm right now, I mean I have no reason to be nervous because I know, I know there’s no one else but him. And with that, she and a group of girls traveled a busy low country highway to the chapel where Kerri blossomed into a Mrs. and shall continue to love Thomas tenderly for as long as they both shall live.

Thomas and Kerri, THANK YOU for everything. You treated us like royalty and always thought about our needs before your own, it was definitely appreciated and did not go unnoticed! We enjoyed your wedding and spending the day with you both!

Here are some photos from their day.

Columbia Wedding Photography | Amanda + Billy

It was a rather warm and humid day with threatening rain clouds off in the distance. But Amanda took it all in stride and let nothing seem to worry her. Their wedding had been scheduled over the next two days, the ceremony on Friday and the reception on Saturday. I thought that was a very neat way to celebrate your wedding without all the hustle and bustle of trying to do everything in one day!

The ceremony took place at Amanda’s hometown church in Lancaster, SC, where family and a few friends had gathered for the exchange of vows. Amanda & Billy share a love that runs deep and wide and it shows! I’m so glad that I got to be a part of their day! After the vows were said, the rings exchanged, and the love in their eyes and on their face telling all, the wedding then moved to Columbia, SC, where the next day would hold THE party! But before the party, Billy’s mom hosted a wonderful dinner Friday night at Diannes on Devine, in honor of Amanda and Billy. The menu was awesome and the atmosphere was excellent! A great way to relax with friends and family sharing many toasts!

The reception was held in the Atrium at the South Carolina State Museum in Columbia. What a great way to have a party with friends and family! The food was super delicious, the music rocked, and the bar was fabulous, not to mention a unique place to have a party! A great evening among guests, spending time with one another was just super fab!

Amanda and Billy’s honeymoon will be on a train ride through the Canadian Rocky Mountains! What a great way to begin their life together as husband and wife!
I wish you all the best Amanda and Billy, have a wonderful honeymoon and I’ll talk to you when you get back.

And now for some pictures from their wedding.

Columbia Bridal Photography – Amanda!

Amanda & Billy had their wedding this weekend in Lancaster and THE party was in Columbia, (I will be posting that soon), so now…I can finally post Amanda’s Bridal photos!

Both Amanda & Billy graduated college at the University Of South Carolina in Columbia, SC, it was only fitting to have Amanda’s bridal portraits made on and around the campus of USC! We started the day at the “Horseshoe” a historic part of USC campus and a beautiful location for portraits!

As Amanda & Billy are also huge fans of USC sports, Amanda wanted to have some of her portraits at the various sports venues of USC…so we did! :)

Without further ado, it is my pleasure to present to you, a fun, energetic, lively, and most beautiful Amanda!

Columbia Bridal Photography – Amanda : Bridals…sort of

Yesterday I had a blast with Amanda making some beautiful bridal photos! As such, I cannot post any photos from the day. But they will be online in the very near future after her wedding. She is definitely going to be an awesome bride…Amanda and Billy are a perfect couple!

It was a cloudy day and the sun kept playing peek-a-boo. We even had a scare that the rain was going to make an appearance during the photo sessions. Fortunately, it only made a slight sprinkling and then went away. :)

The clouds, the part time sun and yes, even the heat, made for an interesting and awesome day. We had a lot of fun and the memories will be for sure, to last forever!

Since this is a photo blog, I will post a couple of photos from yesterday. (not to worry Amanda, none from the bridals!) because, after the bridal photos were captured and safely stored away. Amanda and Billy invited Gail and I out for supper…How cool is that! We ate, had fun, threw back some ice cold brews, and talked about the upcoming wedding. A super ending to a spectacular day!

We went to this rockin’ “Roof Top Bar” called Carolina Ale House on Lady street in Columbia. The place was awesome!, the food was great, the atmosphere excellent, and the music ROCKED!! Overall, a A+ in my book. We simply had a great time!

Amanda,

Gail and I had a great fun filled day with laughs and we are definitely looking forward to your 2 day wedding ceremony, and the partying afterward!! ;)

The wedding will be a chart stopper, I can’t wait!
