Josh + Amanda: Married at Travelers Rest Plantation

Josh and Amanda became friends of mine almost 2 years ago. Of course, I was honored to be chosen to photograph their wedding on July 30th. The ceremony was outdoors, and I'm always a big fan of that. It was steamy hot outside, and very cool indoors, so each time we walked outside from inside, our camera lenses would instantly fog up! We had to plan ahead---more than usual. I love a good challenge.

It was definitely a fun, upbeat day. It had rained early in the day, but cleared out well before we arrived on site. Even their little dog Cobi got dressed up for the occasion, and joined the groomsmen at the ceremony. Love it!

Thanks Josh and Amanda for the chance to shoot your wedding and be part of your day. It was an honor.

"Day after" shoot--with balloons.

Sometimes a bride and groom choose to have more photos made--after the wedding day. We call that a "day after" shoot. Sometimes, it takes place weeks, or months after the actual wedding. In this case, Bobby and Brittany were married back on Jan 1st. (see my January post).  We have now done our day after shoot, and it was a huge success!

Balloons make GREAT photo props, and I will be doing even more of this in the near future. For this day though, we were shooting in Castalian Springs at a beautiful location known as the Cragfont historic home, with surrounding fields and gardens. What a great place. They also host weddings there.

As is usually the case, the weather was great for the shoot, and we had fun shooting. Bobby and Brittany have become good friends of mine, and we also enjoyed some great Mexican food after the shoot!
