Gabe needed some new model headshots for his comp card. We shot his session in Riverfront Park at the former Charleston Naval Base in North Charleston, South Carolina.

Here are some of the photos from his session.

We went to see the Annual Festival of Lights in James Island County Park, South Carolina. It was truly an awesome sight to see.

I have never been to a Festival of Lights before so I really didn’t know what to expect. There was a lot of people and a lot of traffic going into the Festival but it was really worth it.

Here is someone who lives in a shoe…

There was also a snowman!

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.

Here are some images from a Power House in Charleston, South Carolina.

Here’s a photo of a railroad track.

And some flowers.

Here is the bride in their reception venue at Kimbell’s in Wachesaw Plantation in Murrell’s Inlet.

I thought these black table napkins were just so elegant!

During the reception, they had a little game where the bride and groom were sitting back to back and the host asked questions like, “Who’s the better cook?”, “Who is more creative?” and the bride and groom had to answer by raising the right shoe.

In lieu of the usual reception fare such as the first dance, cake cutting, etc., the bride and groom opted to have a mini-talent show instead to showcase the many talents of their friends and family. I have never seen so much talent in one room. They had people singing, tap-dancing, playing the harmonica, playing the guitar, playing the violin, doing a magic act and doing a baton routine.

Here is a particularly crowd-pleasing performance during the talent show.

These two little girls were attentive throughout the entire show.

Here is what Amy had to say about her wedding photos:

Dear Honey and Brian,

We received the pictures, thank you! They are great, some really spectacular ones! Please let me know if you ever need me to give a recommendation, I would be happy to do that. I feel quite lucky that I found you on such short notice, thank you for your hard work!

I wish you the best, I am sure that you will be very successful in this career.

Sincerely,

Amy

Here are photos from Theresa and Brent’s wedding at Cypress Gardens at Goose Creek, South Carolina.

You might remember them from the fabulous engagement session that we had in Downtown Charleston, SC.

You can view their engagement session pictures here.

This is my favorite shot of the day.

Aren’t these the cutest little shoes?

This is a great shot of the back of her dress.

Here are the groom with the groomsmen. Brent was the only one who didn’t have sunglasses so we had to lend him ours. This is an orange sunglass by the way.

This is Theresa, just chillin’.

This next photo was a great idea of Theresa’s. This was done before the wedding ceremony. We took this photo with Theresa and Brent holding each other’s hands but not seeing each other.

There’s something very ethereal about this photo.

I got some nice sun flare during the ceremony too.

Cypress Gardens is such a beautiful venue.

We had a very fun and energetic Portrait Session with Mia in Downtown Charleston, South Carolina.

Mia was very happy during this day.

It was a great day to be out and about.

We spent most of the time chasing after squirrels, birds, dogs and anything that moves. Here she meets a very unique dog.

Here is her running.

… and running!

… and running some more!
