The other week I had the honor of photographing Lucy and Matt’s wedding out at the Kiawah Ocean Course clubhouse. This is a beautiful place that sits right on the ocean with the 18th hole right behind the club house. As always during this time of year there is a chance of rain, but the clouds held out and it turned out to be a gorgeous day! After the ceremony, we ran by the Kiawah Sanctuary Hotel to grab a few shots on their incredible staircase. Then the bridal party took the “party bus” downtown the the SC Aquarium for their reception. That’s such a fun place to have a reception because it’s not everyday that you get to have several thousand gallons of water with fish from all over the world swimming by as you dance the night away! Oh, and the kids just love the place. Who wouldn’t! 😉 Victoria from Frampton’s Flowers made all the incredible arrangements and Coastal Videography was their to document everything on video. Jim Smeal of Wedding Cakes by Jim Smeal created their cool cake.

Lucy’s wedding dress just hanging out…… 😉

Thanks to my buddy, Chris Smith, for helping me out with some great shots through out the day. We have a great time working together. I also have to thank Kirsten King for coming out and really getting her feet wet with “wedding photography”. I think that she was glad she wore some comfortable shoes! ha!

Somebody was so happy for her special day!

What a great day we had for their wedding!

Since this was such a great wedding party, I figured I’d let them have some fun with it! Yes, I did tell the pregnant bridesmaid (far left)  to “fake” her jump. 😉

Now isn’t this just the coolest wedding cake?!! Created by Jim Smeal.

Even the threat of rain and thunderstorms couldn’t hold back the special wedding day of Katrina

and Chad at Middleton Place Plantation and Gardens. I had all of my umbrella’s and rain

poncho’s ready to go, but thank goodness

it turned out to be a beautiful day. We photographers

love when it is overcast and cloudy because we don’t have to worry about harsh shadows or

people sweating and having shiny spots all over them! 😉 It was such a beautiful location that’s

its hard to get a bad shot out there. According to the plantation, they are America’s oldest

landscaped gardens. Katrina was so radiant walking down the aisle I thought for sure that Chad

was going to tear up, but he held up strong! A big thanks to my friend, Joey, at Olive

Productions for helping me out 2nd shooting. Also the band, Two 3 Ways from Other Brother

Entertainment was rockin’ the reception as always! Stage Presence had a great clear top tent

set up for the reception area. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Woolery! 😉

Just getting some help with some earrings………

Here’s a shot of Chad and his groomsmen from my friend, Joey at Olive Productions.

They had a great clear top tent set up by Stage Presence for the reception.

Here’s a quick shot of Katrina by one of the ponds right before her cermony. Doesn’t she look great here!

I caught this one right before her father was walking her up the old stairway out onto the butterfly lake area.

Another shot by my buddy Joey as Katrina was walking down the aisle………

I loved this with the two of them right after their wedding standing on the old ruins of the plantation steps.

Leaving through a sea of bubbles at their reception!

Since Katrina and Chad are getting married at the end of the month we thought since they were both in town that we should do their engagment session asap! Katrina grew up here in Charleston, but they will both be living in Austin, TX once they tie the knot on the 26th! They are getting married at the beautiful Middleton Place plantation right near the river on the butterfly lakes. It’s such a great place to have a wedding. I can’t wait! There’s not a bad photograph in the whole place because everywhere you look is just a gorgeous backdrop of scenery. I never get to do late night shots down at Waterfront park, so this turned out really nice! Congratulations to the both of you! 😉

I loved the beautiful sunset that we had behind the buildings!

I thought that I would try to “light up” the water a bit and added another remote flash off in the distance.
