Banner & Tim

Saturday Marty and I were in Pickens for Banner and Tim's wedding at Grace United Methodist Church. These two have been together for a while now (about 6 years if I remember correctly) and everyone kept asking when their big day would come....well it finally happened! You can definitely tell these two were in love with one another and were both happy that their wedding day was finally here!
One of Marty's shots of the church.
While waiting on everyone to arrive for portraits I grabbed Banner's bouquet to play around with it a little. I loved the light coming through the stained glass windows of the church.
When Tim opened his gift from Banner he wanted to be alone, but wanted me there to capture the moment. Can I tell you how much I love it when pictures are important to the guys!
Next I found Banner when she was opening her gift. I love the card!
Banner's beautiful dress.
Can't forget the sexy shoes!
I think I may have played around with her bouquet a little too much! LOL!

Dressed and ready to go!
We hid the guys and then brought Banner in to pin on her mother's corsage.
Then got a few of Banner alone....again, love the light!
Finally it was ceremony time. Now with this church we weren't allowed to move at all. So, I headed up to the balcony - with me being so short I can usually cover more shots from there. I left Marty downstairs and love this shot of Banner taking a deep breath before her walk down the aisle.
Tim was definitely one of the more emotional grooms. I think it's so sweet when they shed a tear or two!
The architecture in some of the older churches is truly amazing to me.
Finally they get to kiss!
After the group portraits it was time for me to have these two alone for a few minutes.
I think this is my favorite shot...the light coming through the front doors of the church was perfect!
Then we went outside in the prayer garden.
Then on to the reception! I really liked Tim's ring. It had flat sides to it so I could get some really unique ring shots with it. I don't typically post pictures of the groom's cake, but couldn't resist this one!
The wedding cake rocked! It was finally time for the first dance. These two looked so happy to finally make things official between them!
Tim and his mom!
At the cake cutting I think Tim gave us the best face EVER!
I'm not sure that Banner likes to dance as much as Tim does. I honestly don't think he ever left the dance floor!
He did get one break - I managed to escape with these two outside for some quick shots in the street!
Then back inside where everyone was still having a great time.
This little girl was my new friend for the night. She was so cute....I sat down for a few minutes to do something and she scooted over right beside me and started talking.
The band definitely kept the dancing going. And going....
Almost everyone enjoyed themselves! The sparkler farewell to end the night!
Banner and Tim - thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your big day. We are so happy for you to and hope you have many years of happiness ahead of you! Congratulations!

Wendi & Ryan

Wendi and Ryan's wedding was the second half of our second double-header weekend in a row! WHEW!!! The wedding was at Guthrie Grove Baptist Church in Pelzer and we definitely couldn't have asked for better weather....a little cooler maybe, but the sky was gorgeous!

The up detail in Wendi's dress was very beautiful! So was her wedding band and the box it came in!The finishing touches....earrings that she made herself!
A quick shot with her sister Amy.Wendi and Ryan decided to see each other before their ceremony and do all of the pictures beforehand. Here's one of my favorites....all the guys with some attitude!
The whole wedding party!
There was the great field behind the church....it was a perfect place to take pictures....we just had to watch out for the blackberries and not get them on the dress!
My favorite of the day I think! Kaye Green did a great job on the flowers!
The flowers girls walked in to the ceremony and immediately took a seat on the steps. They were so cute! Ryan as he began his vows to Wendi.
One guest on the back row...I think she recorded the whole service - I'm sure she got tired of holding that camera up!
I was able to sneak up to the balcony for a few shots!
Immediately after the ceremony these two hopped in a car and off to the reception they went! A Taste of Heaven did a fabulous job on the cake. I love their work!
I love being unobtrusive at weddings and receptions.....especially when I have the opportunity to get shots like this!
It was great watching these two at their first dance......you can really tell how much in love they are!
The rings!
This little guy....he was all over the dance floor! He was too funny!
Wendi's sister Amy giving her speech to the newlyweds!
And the father-daughter dance. I think everyone had a great time on the dance floor...not sure who had more fun...the kids or the adults......
the young...or the young at heart! Ellie getting a lift from Ryan!
One of Marty's shots that I loved. I think Ryan had a little surprise up his sleeve for Wendi. Their DJ wasn't a typical DJ....he used LPs on a turntable and mixed music. Well, Ryan took over......something Wendi didn't know he could do.
Finally it was time for these two to have their candlelight exit out of the Hilton!
Wendi finally gave a good laugh....after threatening everyone that they better not knock on her door that night!!!!!
Wendi and Ryan it was so great spending your wedding day with you and sharing in your happiness! We hope you have a fabulous honeymoon and a safe trip home!!!
