Susie & Thomas – South Carolina Wedding Photographer

Susie and Thomas tied the knot this past Saturday at Eastminster Presbyterian Church on Trenholm Road.  It turned out to be a beautiful day, with beautiful weather!  (aside from the hot, sticky heat, but that seems to be a trend lately).  The reception immediately followed at Columbia Metropolitan Center in the Vista. They were such a great couple to work alongside, and their families, well, they were just as great!  We had a great day and are happy to show you some teasers from the big day!  

Susie.  Isn’t she gorgeous?!!!

Tony Sharpe with Aspire 4 More did a great job on the lighting!  This is what makes a bold, and beautiful statement!

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.

More to come later this week.  Our internet was down the majority of today, so I haven’t had a chance to do much blogging.  Check back later on to see more great moments from their day!  Until then….

Mega Yard Sale!

As some of you already know, Richard and I are adopting a baby.  We’re still in the beginning stages and paperwork process, but needless to say, its moving along.  We’re really excited and even more excited about those who have supported us throughout this journey.  Our adoption is running right around $20,000.  Yep, thats right.  We’re so blessed and know that Christ has called us to adopt a child.  We’re very thankful to be walking in His will and can’t wait to see this journey come into light.  Until then, we have so many friends, family and even clients who have been helping us with our yard sale to raise funds!  We have had HUNDREDS of items donated by so many!  So, come out and shop!

Just a little of what you can expect to see:

TVs (LOTS of them) • Furniture • Clothing • Baby Toys • Children’s Book • Blankets & Bedding • Appliances • Children’s Clothes • Shoes • Purses (even designer purses!) • Home Decor • Lamps • Books • DVDs • Basketball Goals (2) • Dishes & Glassware 

In addition to these items, there’s TONS more!  Not to mention, we’ll have a lemonade stand & several new items!  Including brand new purses & bags, framed Carolina prints, T-Shirts etc.  So…. come see us and say hello!!!  Remember, 100% of the proceeds will go towards bringing our baby home!

Little Miss Georgia

Here is a great session to end a great week!  Hope you enjoy!!!  Oh how I love this little girl!  Meet Georgia, my sweet, adorable niece!  Isn’t she just the cutest thing you’ve ever seen?!!!  Well, I’m a little partial at least!  Enjoy some from her session!

There are plenty more where these came from!  I had so much fun with them today, it was near impossible to choose [some] for the blog!

Oh how I love her smile!  :)

Until next time…. Have a great weekend everyone!

Family Session on the Horseshoe

Meet Vickie and her beautiful family!  I have none Vickie since just after the birth of their first child, Caroline.  Its been so great watching their family grow over the past few years!  WE headed out to the horseshoe the other morning for a session with their entire family!  The kids did great and the weather was perfect (with the exception the sticky humidity!).  So, here are some favorites!  Enjoy!

You might be thinking, are they Clemson fans?  Nope, but I’m loving the pop of orange up against the beautiful greenery!

Collin!  Isn’t he the cutest kid ever?!!

Thanks again for a great session!  It was so great catching up and meeting little Miss Anna Kate for the 1st time!  Take care!

Email Issues!

Okay, so apparently some emails are coming through, and many are not.  I have contacted our hosting company and they say everything is fine on their end.  I received two different phone calls today saying I wasn’t returning their emails.  Guys… we’re super fast at email!  Unless its the weekend, we ALWAYS respond within 24 hours.  So, if for some reason you’ve sent us an email and never heard back from us, please give us a call.  I’m not sure what’s going on, but I promise we’re not slack.  You can reach us at the studio at 803.429.-0621.  Our studio hours (by appointment only) are Tuesday – Friday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Thanks again, and sorry for any problems this is causing!
