Charleston Wedding Photographer | A Year in Pictures
Posted on January 4, 2012
So it’s 2012!! As I ponder all my fave moments, fun clients and stunning celebrations from 2011, I’ve struggled with how to recap the year. Probably because I’m a little ADD. Or maybe because I can’t be impartial and curate effectively. But as a storyteller, this post has shaped up in its own progression, so I’ll roll with it. I enjoy most every moment of the wedding story and the wedding day – fun, nervous, poignant, tearful, jubilant, hilarious. Here they are, unscripted.
First, she fell in love with him. Then, she fell in love with a gown. Parties, plans, promises. Letterpress, lace, laughter. Sashes, stylists. Dinner, dancing. Here’s to the happily ever after! Thanks to each of my brides, their dashing husbands, and their gracious families for choosing me to document wedded bliss and everything that surrounds it.
It’s so fun to capture the expressions during the first fitting. And see the perfect gown in portrait form!
I love the sparkle in Vanessa’s eyes. Even while she was just brushing her teeth, it was shaping up to be an amazing day!
What shoes to choose? Even guys get in on the action sometimes.
Occasionally, couples opt for a first look before the ceremony. Love it!
The year flew by. Can’t wait to see what 2012 holds.
Know someone who is engaged? I hope you’ll share this post and encourage them to contact me.
