Danielle & Keith





Danielle & Keith were my DREAM BRIDE & GROOM! I was talking to Eddie "L" (their incredible DJ) at the end of the reception and we both agreed that they were two of the nicest people we'd ever worked with!

To start the day off, I photographed Keith and his "entourage" at the Dunes West Country Club where they were getting ready. Then I zipped over to Danielle's house in Dunes West where I was rewarded with this elegant portrait of Danielle relaxing before the Main Event. With Keith being a Citadel Grad, it was fitting that their ceremony took place at Summerall Chapel...complete with sword ceremony! On our way off campus, we stopped by his old barracks to create a couple cool shots like this one of them in the checkered courtyard. The reception was appropriately held at the Citadel Beach House where the beautiful sunset allowed me to capture this contemplative silhouette while they shared a little "alone time" away from the party. With heavy beach-theme decorations, I thought it would be neat to get a unique image of their gorgeous rings on the arm of this starfish.

Danielle & Keith, thanks for putting up with all my CRAZY ideas and being so AWESOME to photograph. When you look at this last photo, remember that a ring is in the form of a circle, with no beginning and no end. May your love for each other be never-ending!

It was nice to meet you; you were definitely one of the best photographers that I have come across, especially for an event as important as a family wedding. You were so kind and a pleasure to be around. Thanks!

Chris, I am certainly impressed with the photo opportunities and great work you've had this year. You definitely are making a name for yourself in Charleston!!!
And that means you are being recognized in the USA. I really liked the wedding couple on the pink and white tiles - fascinating!

all my love,
mom

yznuxChris,
My name is Courtney & I was a bridesmaid in Danielle & Keith's wedding. This was our third wedding where all of the girls stood up together & we are all in agreement-you are by far the best photographer we have worked with.
You made it so much fun and your ideas were so unique! I have been telling EVERYONE about what an incredible job you did. The pictures turned out beautifully.
As I mentioned to you in Charleston... I hope you'll do my wedding in Muskoka, Canada! I will be in touch!!
Thank You for making the experience that much more enjoyable...it was very much appreciated.Congrats on an amazing job.

Hi Courtney!

THANK YOU for the kind words!!! I remember you well...and I think you're going to be a BEAUTIFUL bride some day. It would be my honor to photograph your wedding...WHEREVER it may be. We cover destination weddings all over the US. Next month we have one in the Bahamas. I've been to Canada twice...what do they say about the third time?!? :-)

Hi Chris and Cami,

We're sorry we're just getting to say THANK YOU!! We have just returned home from our honeymoon! We got in last night at 1am and we were up until 3am looking through our wedding photos on line. They turned out beautiful!!! I couldn't even sleep! I don't know where to begin to tell you all of the compliments we received from our family and friends. "You know he's good when he gets ME to smile!". "He was so professional, but so FUN!". "I can't believe he remembered all of our names!". "He was energetic, but not over the top!". "He really captured the love story!". "He was the best photographer we have ever met, and we've been to 10 weddings in the past year and a half!"

We had the wedding of our dreams and we are so glad that you were there to catch every moment of it!

Thank you again!

Thank you again for capturing the moments of the most important day of our lives thus far. You both were the friendliest and most professional vendors we dealt with. Thank you...
