On Tuesday I shared my behind the scenes and detail shots of our session at RiverOaks in Charleston, SC… today I’m sharing a few of my favorite shots of the couple who modeled, Hayley and Walker… a real-life couple who’s tying the knot in a few months! The dresses provided were from Astrid and Mercedes, and were stunning… so delicate and feminine!

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!

My prolific admiration of wedding albums is nothing new…. but since I got a shipment in last week I just had to share. Everyone should have an album… what are you going to sit on the sofa and show your grand-kids in 50 years? A CD? I had a new sample made using Alan & Ashley’s Jamaica wedding. It’s a 9×12 book covered in seaglass linen. I love this size book, it’s big enough, but not overpowering. My bestie got married nearly 2 years ago, and my wedding gift to her was her album filled with my friend, Jen’s beautiful images… I finally got around to ordering it, I can’t wait to give it to her! This book is a 10×10 in stone leather with name debossing on the cover.
