Joslynn & Jason Wedding Highlights Video in Mt Pleasant, South Carolina

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

Joslynn and Jason had their wedding ceremony at Bridgeside Events overlooking the Cooper River and the Arthur Ravenel Bridge here in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. They had a really beautiful wedding and that location was just perfect!

Their wedding reception was aboard the Spiritline Dinner Cruise which went on a tour around Cooper River. They served a four or five course dinner and I must say, this boat had the best food ever! Kudos to the chef!

It was very relaxing being on the boat watching the beautiful scenery pass by, especially during the sunset and at night. Brian and I used to live and work on a cruise ship before so being on water is nothing new to us. It was kinda nostalgic being on a boat again.   For some reason, I was expecting a passenger drill, like you do when you go on a cruise.

Here is their wedding highlights video.

Engagement Session in Waterfront Park, Charleston, South Carolina

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

This is Theresa and Brent’s engagement session in the Pineapple Fountain in Waterfront Park, Downtown Charleston, South Carolina. They are getting married next year in Cypress Gardens and they wanted engagement photos.

Waterfront Park is a really popular place to take engagement pictures because when I came here, I saw 2 (husband and wife?) photographers doing another engagement session and another photographer doing a bridal portrait session.

After all that kissing, they got tired, so they decided to rest for a while.

We decided to check out the rooftop of a nearby bar, overlooking downtown Charleston.

The sky was gorgeous so I decided to use it as a backdrop.
