Charleston Bridal Show by Elite Events

Monday, February 16th, 2009

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 the groom with the groomsmen. Brent was the only one who didn’t have sunglasses so we had to lend him ours. This is an orange sunglass by the way.

This is Theresa, just chillin’.

Bridal Portrait with Sun Flare

This next photo was a great idea of Theresa’s. This was done before the wedding ceremony. We took this photo with Theresa and Brent holding each other’s hands but not seeing each other.

There’s something very ethereal about this photo.

Cedar Lodge Baptist Church, Thomasville, North Carolina wedding

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

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.

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

Let’s not forget about the groom.

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.

The happy bride

This is a photo of the groom fixing his military uniform.

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

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.
