Here are some photos from a wedding in The Barn at Valhalla  in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. This is actually our 2nd time going out of state in 2 weeks, the last time was for our Blue Ridge wedding. It’s definitely fun to travel and see new and different things.

Aren’t her shoes lovely?

The Barn at Valhalla is truly a beautiful location.

They had the most beautiful flowers.

and yummy yummy food.

I have no idea what’s inside this, but it sure looks good.

The most unique thing about the venue was the fireplace. It’s getting hot in here!

Here is the bride and groom.

The girls were so much fun!

Gotta love that sun flare!

Here is the bride looking very lovely.

This next bridal portrait is one of my favorites.

We had to get a photo in front of the church!

This was while they were cutting the cake. I don’t know what’s happening but it sure looks like they’re having fun.

I love this photo of the girl dancing. Kinda psychedelic.

They had these cool stickers printed up.

Here are some pictures from Nina and Dan’s wedding in St. Mary’s Church and the Charleston Place Hotel in Downtown Charleston South Carolina.

This was a portrait of her I did before the wedding.

She had a beautiful pink and green bouquet.

Here is a photo of the outside of St. Mary’s Church.

St. Mary’s Church had these beautiful stained glass windows.

After the wedding ceremony, we went on a horse carriage ride around Downtown Charleston to do some more pictures.

We went all around The Battery.

They had the most beautiful cake.

Tori & Wally had a beautiful wedding in Alhambra Hall, Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.

It was raining really hard while we were driving to the wedding. Good thing Mount Pleasant is climate controlled and it just a rained a little bit there.

Here is a picture of the groom before the wedding.

I do love taking photos of people taking photos!   This guy has great composition!

They had the most beautiful wedding cake.

Gotta love that backlight!

I had a great opportunity to photography an unusual and unique wedding in Murrell’s Inlet, South Carolina, near Myrtle Beach. There are so many things to blog about so I will be writing about this wedding in two posts.

The wedding was held in Wachesaw Plantation Club.

Here is the bride overlooking Waccamaw River.

The bride and groom decided to see each other before the ceremony to be able to do some portraits with friends and family.

They had guests from all over the country and all over the world.

Instead of having somebody officiate the wedding, they had friends and family read passages or sing instead.

The bride and groom read some passages too.

Here is the bride and groom.
