Here is our wedding photography portfolio — the wedding reception :

Here are some of the photos from the Southern Bridal Show by Elite Events at the Charleston Area Convention Center.

The layout of our booth was pretty much the same as our previous bridal show with a few minor variations. We had an additional bigger table so we were able to do much more with the space.

We saw a lot of familiar faces in our booth. Some of our current brides who are getting married this year stopped by to say hello. We also saw some guests from our previous weddings who are now getting married as well.

Thanks to everyone who came and dropped by our booth!

Here are some photos from our bridal show booth in Carolina First Center, Greenville, South Carolina by Wedding Festivals.

We’ve been so busy these past few weeks preparing for the bridal show.

Thanks to everyone who came by to visit our booth!

Here are some photos from a wedding in The Barn at Valhalla  in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. This is actually our 2nd time going out of state in 2 weeks, the last time was for our Blue Ridge wedding. It’s definitely fun to travel and see new and different things.

Aren’t her shoes lovely?

The Barn at Valhalla is truly a beautiful location.

They had the most beautiful flowers.

and yummy yummy food.

I have no idea what’s inside this, but it sure looks good.

The most unique thing about the venue was the fireplace. It’s getting hot in here!

Here is the bride and groom.

Here are some kids on the dance floor having some fun. This photo cracks me up. I don’t know exactly what it is that they are doing but it sure looks fun.

The food wasn’t just delicious, it was gorgeous!

They had the most beautiful decorations.

Here is the wedding cake.

Kathy loved her photos. Here is what she said about them:

“Wow, we love our photos. You guys did an amazing job. Everything was exactly the way I wanted it. Everyone keeps asking me where I found you guys, so hopefully you get some more business here in Statesville.

Once again, thank you so much. We were so happy when we saw the photos for the 1st time. ”

Here is our Wedding Video Demo Reel.

Just came back from a Thomasville, North Carolina wedding. This is the first wedding coming into the very busy 2008 wedding season.

The wedding ceremony and reception was held in Cedar Lodge Baptist Church .  It was a beautiful day, but very cold.  I lost my voice in the middle of the wedding, even though I wasn’t speaking much.

Here is a bridesmaid getting her hair fixed.

Here is the gorgeous bride.

The motif of the wedding was this really beautiful blue color.

Let’s not forget about the groom.

A shot from the back of the church.

A shot of the groom and bride praying.

The table setting was just beautiful.

The bride threw the bouquet but the wind was so strong that it pretty much didn’t go anywhere.

More photos coming up very soon.
