Wedding in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

Our most recent wedding was a wedding by the beach in Hilton Head Island. This was a bit of a last-minute booking, but since the wedding was on a Tuesday, we were available.

Nicole flew in all the way from Wisconsin to be with Joshua.  They are planning another wedding next year for her family in Wisconsin.

This was taken right before the wedding ceremony. They were fixing her veil, and they were joking with her and she laughed, so I took the shot.

This is one of my favorite photos from the wedding. For me, this is the definition of a radiant bride.

Joshua laid out flowers on the sand to serve as a kind of altar for them to stand in the middle of.

It was a very small and intimate wedding by the beach.
