Film | Charleston

A few weeks ago I spent two days in Charleston, SC shooting at a new-ish venue, RiverOaks. The European vibe this venue offers right on the Wando River is a place like no other. It’s a private home that takes 7 weddings a year and offers incredibly personal service to the couples who tie the knot there. The grounds are manicured to perfection, without feeling stuffy or uptight. The house emulates all things French country-side, filled the most incredible furnishings…. and the 2 chocolate labs that drink from the fountain on the patio make you feel like nothing is too precious to enjoy. The day was split into two sessions… the getting ready/details and then the bride/groom… I thought I’d split it into 2 posts…. I’ve also included behind the scenes of the other photographers in attendance. Images are all film, color is Portra 800 (mix of 35mm & 120) and black & white is Ilford 3200.      Stay tuned for part 2 on Thursday!

Boudoir | Valentines Day Special

A few months back I had the privilege to photograph two beautiful women at the Blake Hotel in Uptown Charlotte. They wanted to treat their hubbys to something extra special this valentines day, and a boudoir shoot was just the ticket. They picked their favorite images and I had them made into awesome 5×7 leather flushmount albums for their men. I cannot wait to hear their reactions!! Are you interested in doing a shoot?? Maybe an anniversary or birthday gift?? It’s about a 2-3 month process to do the shoot & get the album back, so don’t be afraid to plan ahead! Have a great day!

Portraits | 2011 Review

As promised, I’ve followed yesterday’s 2011 wedding review with our portraits 🙂 I really love doing portrait sessions, they’re so much more relaxed than a wedding day. We get to chit-chat and get to know our clients a bit better. While I really feed off the energy of a wedding day, the slower pace of portrait sessions are so nice! I included our bridals in here, as we consider them a “portrait” session….. I didn’t have bridals done when we got married, but I SO wish I had! It really allows you to try out your hair/makeup/shoes/jewels…. all together with that fabulous dress. ***I’ve been thinking about giving away a bridal session to our next bride we book….. would anyone be interested 😉 ????     Thank you all for making our 2011 extra special!   PS…. did you notice that little one in the bottom left corner??? I haven’t blogged her yet, but she’s the newest addition to the Horton family! Jeremy’s sister had her the week before Christmas, Anna Beth Avery 🙂
