Greenville Wedding Photographer | Lauren + Simon {Married} !!
Another beautiful wedding shot with Ben Robi Photography! Ben called me and said he needed a feminine touch for an upcoming wedding. ;) Actually he called saying that he needed a female photographer to do "Getting Ready" shots for an upcoming wedding... but same difference, right?! Either way, I showed up and decided to stay until the end.
The ceremony was at Furman University's Chapel and it was the first wedding I've been to or photographed at their chapel. It's beautiful both inside and out! The high ceilings with the wood accents and the traditional touches through out make it a classic and timeless place to get married. From there we packed up and headed downtown Greenville to Larkin's On The River for the reception. What a busy day for downtown. There were probably 5 other weddings going on, the Greek Festival, and some kind of music event going on. Larkin's in a beautiful place to have a reception because of all the wonderful natural lighting and decor.
Thanks for having me Ben, and thank you Lauren + Simon for allowing me to capture such a beautiful and special day for you both.
Greenville Wedding Photographer | Winter Wedding in Asheville
I shot along with Sarah Rominger Photography for a winter wedding in Asheville, back in January. Kinsey & Eli had their wedding indoors in downtown Asheville on a very windy day. They were brave enough to endure the crazy winds, which ended up with some fantastic photo's from Sarah. Here are a few of my favorites that I shot. Are you wondering why I'm just now posting these? The couple got their images months ago, but I just haven't had the chance to edit them for the web site and post them! So here they are....
Greenville Wedding Photographer | Free Photo Booths!!
I've been hesitant in the past to set up photo booths at wedding receptions because I didn't want it to take away from the couple. Recently I have had several brides ask if I offered it so when I had the opportunity to test it out and work out all the kinks at the LBD party, I took it. The photo booth was a ton of fun for both my staff and the guests. And kinks? There weren't any kinks! I used a simple set up that will occupy a small corner in the reception area and it will give your guests the chance to make some fun photos! Most reception type photos are of guests eating or dancing, but this gives them a chance to goof off and show their personality in front of the camera with my fun props. :)
I am now including the photo booth with ALL my wedding collections, as a special add-on for you and your guests. Most photographers charge $400-$1000 for this same add-on. On site printing is available so your guests can bring the memories from the evening home with them!
Greenville Photographer | Wedding Festivals 2011
Today I took part in my first wedding show. After everything was set up and I stepped back to look at my display it felt perfect. It was exactly what I envisioned. My 8 ft tall prints caught the eye of the brides who appreciate my style of shooting. I met some beautiful ladies who are working very hard at planning their weddings. Wedding Festivals makes their planning SO much easier! I believe there were 219 vendors at todays show. Colleen Wheeler did a fantastic job with the "Wonderland" theme, I loved it! Its whimsical style went perfectly with my style of shooting. Congrats to the bride-to-be Erica for winning our door prize!
A few thank you's and shout outs:
Aaron's of Greer - Thank you for the beautiful furniture you leased to me for the day. (Everything but the zebra chairs... I'm in LOVE with those so I had to buy them!)
Fast Signs Greenville - Talk about last minute! I called on Wednesday and the sign was ready for pick up on Thursday!
All my SUPER friends who endured the pouring rain and hectic set up and tear down. I am so blessed to have so many amazing people in my life that support me and my business!
Last but not least thank you to all the brides and guests who stopped at my booth to chat with us about their wedding!
For those who weren't able to make it out to the show today here is what you missed!
Anne + Jeremy:: Married! {The Garden House}
OH my! Have you ever been to a wedding reception where the mom was dressed like a drag queen(on purpose) and dad did somersaults??? I HAVE!
I've been looking forward to this wedding all year and it was worth the wait. Many thanks to Christy Miller for being my second shooter! I'm glad you were up for this interesting wedding!
Anne and Jeremy started their adventure in a fairy tale at their ceremony which took place at The Garden House B&B in Simpsonville SC. Everything was perfect. They said their vows back and forth to each other, like a private conversation and no one else was there. The love they have for each other could never be mistaken. As their friends say, they were meant for each other and they can only hope to have a love like theirs one day.
Once the clock struck 6:00 the guests turned into animals, clowns, hippies and gangsters. The fairy tale wedding became a Halloween party with some pretty awesome costumes. Anne and Jeremys first dance was similar to moshing - I'm surprised I got a picture of them! They were all over the dance floor! Then it was dad's turn... He did THREE somersaults during the father daughter dance.... not ONE... not TWO... but THREE! I won't post that picture on here ;)
The event was catered by Elegant Gourmet Cafe & Catering and it was delicious!
When I tell you this wedding was like no other, I mean it. But one thing it did have was a lot of love. The love between Anne & Jeremy, the love of the family and the love of their friends.
Congratulations to you both and your families. You two are fantasic! Enjoy your honeymoon!
Beautiful Brides:: Anne’s Bridal {Garden House B&B}
Photographing Anne in her gorgeous magenta wedding gown was worth the flat tire getting there (LOL).
Anne and Jeremy are getting married at a charming B&B in Simpsonville, SC called The Garden House. The owners are a darling couple who have put together beautiful gardens and a vintage indoor setting that is perfect. This couple is anything but ordinary (my kind of couple!) and Anne was a pleasure to photograph. She was willing to do everything I suggested and it made for some beautiful images. Her mom, Becky and soon to be hubby Jeremy were also along for the session and were a big help!

Drue + Jeremy:: Married! {The Farm, Asheville NC}
I second shot for Sarah Rominger Photography over the weekend at a beautiful wedding in Asheville, NC. The venue is The Farm Party Barn and while the name is goofy the place is beautiful! I am so in love with this venue that I may just have to find someone to marry me so I can have my wedding there! (Kidding!)
The ceremony took place in front of a gazebo on the property and just before their first kiss as Mr & Mrs, the couple released butterfly's. How cool is that!? The wedding party was a lot of fun and the boys from Princeton definitely "got down" on the dance floor.
All in all, it was a great time and a wonderful wedding. I wish you both health, happiness and love for all the years that follow. May this chapter in your "book of life" be the happiest yet!

Stephanie + Chris {The Marshall House, Savannah GA}
What do you get when you mix a Yankee Marine with a Southern Belle? Love; of course!
Stephanie and Chris had a beautiful wedding ceremony in Oglethorpe Square downtown Savannah, GA. With historic buildings and stories dating back to the 1730's this was the perfect location to enter into their own life time of memories, love and commitment. Their reception was just a block away at the Marshall House (featured on the Travel Channels "Haunted Hotels.") It recently underwent a major renovation and is absolutely beautiful.
During the reception the guests watched as the cake topper strategically fell from the top of the cake, hitting each layer and landing on a cup cake. Ghost? Who knows!
Unlike most clients I got to know this family on a more personal level. Stephanie is John's sister in law and his wife, Jenn, was the Maid of Honor. We attended the rehersal dinner then stayed with Jenn's Aunt who showed me what true southern hospitality was. The food was amazing, the family was fun and inviting and the wedding will be one I always remember. John and I took OODLES of pictures, which can be seen below and on Mirrored Images face book fan page. I can't wait to see what John's pictures look like!
This was my first visit to Savannah and I'm ready to plan my next "non business" trip!
Luci + Tim:: In love! {Delray Beach, FL}
Luci and Tim decided to do their engagement session downtown Delray Beach and we had a ton of fun ideas and props. Funny thing about Saturday... it was beautiful all day and five minutes after Luci and Tim arrived it began raining. Great thing about Florida is that it doesn't always last long. So after 20-30 min's of ducking under awnings and roofs we were able to have free roam of the streets.
Luci and Tim are a wonderful couple, a lot of fun and definitely quirky enough to handle my ideas. I can't wait to see what they have planned for their wedding next year!

Jones + Gillian:: Married! {Greer City Hall}
Tonight I shot along side of Ben Robi and I have to admit... it was pretty fun. It was our first time shooting together and we didn't have a single glitch in the system! :o) .
We started off at a church in Greer where the couple had a beautiful ceremony. The groom made a special entrance and danced down the isle. Following the ceremony we headed to the reception at Greer City Hall for wedding party pictures. I took the ladies and Ben took the men. What a wedding party! 10 on each side! Whew... it was by far the largest wedding party I have shot to date.
Over all, it was a great night, a beautiful wedding and a lot of fun. It was a pleasure to be a part of your wedding day and allowing me to create a story through my art.
