I Do: Jamie & Brook. Charleston, SC Wedding Photographers
Friday, October 22, 2010 at 04:53PM If you follow this blog of mine then you know narrowing down to just a handful has never been my strong suit. But for those fabulous blog stalkers out there (you know who you are) you probably don't mind a bit that I over-do all the yummy details and swoon over my fabulous couples! Well this blog post could blow the length of others out of the water because I can't help myself. So this couple happens to be special because they're family! Jamie is my new bro-in-law who married my amazing big sister Brook. So to answer your next question no I did not shoot my sister's wedding...ok ok I did from time to time pick up my camera and assist when I just couldn't help myself...but my talented team and trusted friends Melissa and Graham took on the task, and as I knew they would, they did it so so well! I could honestly make this post one big thank you letter to all of our AMAZING vendors involved. You know when you shoot weddings every weekend you really get to know the best of the best. I knew for Brook we wanted the best people we could find. I firmly believe we got them and cannot begin to say enough wonderful things about their fabulousness. From the band to the food the drinks the decor-everything was dreamy. Brook and Jamie wanted a beach wedding with a Tuscan fall feel. I think we did it! Sorting these images was honestly a blast for me- reliving a lot of this day. Oh how special. Brook looked stunning. God provided the most perfect of all cloud covers for our photos, and everything just went off without a hitch. I am so glad that I could live these moments in front of the camera for a change- watch my big sister walk down the aisle to marry the man of her dreams. Yeah it really was just perfect. Please enjoy my favorites from the big day! Oh and if you curious who a wedding photographer books for her own family here they are:
Wedding Planner: Ashley Rhodes Handling details start to finish...truly helped the day go smoothly
Band: Another Level From Richmond, VA and worth every penny. These guys rock my face off.
DJ- Big Time Entertainment Cameron got the party started and kept it going. Seriously cannot say enough- our guests talked about him for days!
Catering: New Dream Catering If you like yummy food you will love them! Eric specializes in Tuscan food and he and his staff were superb from start to finish!
Bar Service: Carolina Cocktails Eric took countless phone calls figuring out kegs etc- answered everything promptly and with care- truly a professional!
Rentals: Amazing Event Rentals I love working weddings with these folks. They were my first choice!
Hair Design: Salon Couture Amazing. Everyone's hair looked so fabulous. Good hairdressers set the tone for the day- I mean that- so so true.
Floral Design: Hendersonville Flower Market Pam drove all the way from my hometown- and she completely brought together the Tuscan theme. Baby Artichokes, sunflowers, just amazing.
Venue: The Citadel Beach House. Don was awesome. Ready with towels for our feet when we finished shooting on the beach!
Photobooth: Shutterbooth One of the highlights of the party- I think some people could have spent hours in there!
Brook's Dress: By Maggie Sottero. The ladies at The Bridal House of Charleston were so helpful from trying on the dress to getting alterations.
