Here are photos from Theresa and Brent’s wedding at Cypress Gardens at Goose Creek, South Carolina.

You might remember them from the fabulous engagement session that we had in Downtown Charleston, SC.

You can view their engagement session pictures here.

This is my favorite shot of the day.

Aren’t these the cutest little shoes?

This is a great shot of the back of her dress.

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’.

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.

I got some nice sun flare during the ceremony too.

Cypress Gardens is such a beautiful venue.

These beautiful glass works are done by glassblower Michael Barnett of GANESH GLASS, 843-406-4817 or email ganeshglass@bellsouth.net

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 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.

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.

Here is the bride and groom looking out into the sea.

Here is the bride and groom sharing a kiss.

The happy groom after the wedding.
