Leslie & Justin

Yesterday Marty and I were at Falls Park agian...but this time it wasn't for a portrait session - it was a wedding. The weather was fabulous and you could definitely feel that Fall was in the air! Before the ceremony we had plenty of time for portraits so Leslie and her girls had a little bit of fun to pass some time away!

I couldn't get over how great the color of their dresses and flowers were. They look fabulous!
The three flower girls did a great job and were cute as a button! Leslie's dad walking her down the aisle.It isn't very often that we have so much room to move around during a ceremony. I took full advantage of it and snuck around up top for a few shots.
Not sure what it is with my fascination with lighting here lately, but the sun was perfect for me to play around with it!!!!
After the ceremony, we had some group shots before everyone headed up to the reception. I stayed with Leslie and Justin to get some shots of them together walking through the park.
I loved the sun across Justin's back!
I was laying in the road hoping and praying that a car didn't come up the hill and not see me laying there.
I'm lucky I got up when I did....you can barely see a skateboarder in this one....right as he passed me he hit a rock and about ate the asphalt.
I was laughing so hard I could barely get my breath - luckily we stopped to take one more shot before heading over the bridge to Saffron's.
With Leslie being from Tennesse and Justin being a South Carolina guy, there is definitely some rivalry between these two! One cake for the Vols fans and one cake for the Gamecock fans....and the wedding cake with colors of each!!!!!
The rings!A little fun with the wedding bands.The cake cutting was a tad messy! I was happy to see Justin's grandmother with all the single girls for the bouquet toss!And the rivalry continues as Justin finds Leslie wearing a Tennesse garter!!!!!
Um, I'm not sure we've ever had a guy model the garter quite like this before!The beautiful bride with her girlfriends!
The lighting at Saffron's Wrought Iron Hall was gorgeous.....white lights and candles everywhere. I loved all the candles hanging from the ceiling! Everyone had a great time dancing and singing!!!!! Leslie and Justin - thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your special (and perfect) day! We had a great time and a lot of laughs with you and your friends and family!!!!!

Maranda & Jeff

Saturday the weather couldn't have been more perfect for a wedding! The temperature is finally starting to cool off some and not a rain cloud in sight!!!!!! Marty and I arrived at Creekside Plantation a little early and were able to get some detail shots in before everyone arrived. The sun coming through the trees was beautiful and I couldn't help but play with it throughout the day....here is just the beginning.....The wedding favors all ready to go and waiting on the guests.
Maranda's vintage-looking dress was so perfect for her!

The studded shoes and a gift from Maranda's mom!
Maranda sneaking a peek of her handsome groom out the window!
While I was upstairs with the bride, Marty was down capturing some great shots of the house and the couples monogrammed photo album.
Regina helping her daughter be sure the veil was perfect!
While we were waiting, I decided to get some quick shots of Maranda with Jeff's ring.
Now typically it's the bride who is nervous, but I definitely think Jeff had Maranda beat! Right before the portraits of the guys he informed me that he had already thrown up once time. I instructed him that during the ceremony, if he got sick to lean over the wall. I have to say, he definitely had me worried!
All the women upstairs were watching the guests arrive!
Jeff and Maranda's grandfather waiting for the ceremony to begin.
Maranda's mom walked her down the aisle!
Jeff smiling as he waited on his bride.
The ceremony.
Again, had to play with the sun a little!
After scaring me just a little when Jeff was saying his vows....it was finally time for the kiss!
Sometimes I think it is the kiss after the recessional that's the best!
Jeff smiling as he came back to get his mom....he was finally relived by this point!
Maranda held her tears in during the ceremony to be strong for Jeff, but once it was over the emotions began!
I think my most favorite part of the day is after the formal portraits when I can take the bride and groom away for a few minutes. This allows them some alone time and me some time to get some great shots!
Then it was time for the reception. I love Marty's shot of the first dance!
Now for some more details.....the rings!
And the Kathy and Company cake!
After the cutting of the cake, it was time for a toast!
Except Jeff doesn't like wine so much! Don't worry, I'm in complete agreement on that one Jeff!
One of the tables outside at Creekside has a candelier hanging over it.....it made for a great shot!
Now, after the sun went down, I cut our light on and had some fun with it. One thing I love about having Marty second shoot with me is the different perspectives we both have....as I am capturing this shot....
...he is capturing this one!
Everyone had a great time dancing to the music!
Until it was time for the newlyweds to leave!
Did I mention they left in a sweet car? Congratulations Maranda and Jeff! I'm so happy for you both! I hope you two have a wonderful time on your honeymoon!!!!!
