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!

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!

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.

I’m 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.

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.
