Jamie & Erin

Last weekend I was THRILLED to be invited to capture the Jamie & Erin's wedding day. What an AWESOME event! Everything was held at the photogenic I'On Creek Club. And although gusty winds coming off Hobcaw Creek put a chill in the air, it didn't dampen our spirits one bit! Jamie wore a very elegant gown from Jean's Bridal. After she finished checking the mirror (isn't that an adorable image with her and her Mom), Jamie walked to where Erin was waiting to see her for the first time. Capturing their "First Glance" from across the room was a touching experience for me. You can just feel the love between these two as they embrace under the glow from the window behind! Juliet did a fantastic job with Jamie's hair, as you can see it cascading around her shoulders in this candid portrait. Then we braved the cold wind to take advantage of the GORGEOUS late afternoon light. Victoria at Frampton's Flowers did a wonderful job (as always!) with the bouquet. Later I was able to use the glow from the sun on a portrait of Erin in a corner of the open porch where this shaft of light came streaming through the trees. Jeremy, who was Erin's Best Man, is also a great friend of Jamie's. How cool is THAT!?! Here he's checking Erin's tie before the processional begins. Amanda from Southern Chic Weddings did a wonderful job of keeping everything on schedule, which was CRUCIAL to me since the sun was scheduled to set over the creek just minutes after the ceremony was over. Immediately after the ceremony where they exchanged truly unique rings from Whiteflash, we zipped over to the dock and got this dramatic silhouette of Jamie & Erin in the nick of time! :-) The reception was a TON of FUN! Michelle at Regal Catering made sure the food was tasty and plentiful. My favorite ladies of confection at Lady Fingers put together a tasty work of art for their wedding cake. And our DJ from Carolina Mobile Music kept the energy high, even ending the night with an American Idol worthy performance of Michael Jackson's Thriller, to the applause of all the guests! Check out the rest of their photos here...

Jamie & Erin, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to be a part of this special day...the beginning of the rest of your new life together!!!
