As promised, here are a couple of images from Joye’s Bridal Portrait session. As an excellent calligrapher, Joye is something of an artist at heart so we shot a few images that were a little different than the usual “Southern Bride” portraits. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with those, love doing them. But this bride wanted a little “extra.”

In the end, she chose the second image below for her 16×20 canvas print to display at the reception. It was a tough choice too. For a little while she was leaning a bit toward a more traditional image. The artist in her won!

Can you guess who the Groom’s favorite team is?

A few months ago I shot the engagement photos of Randy and Joye. I also had the pleasure of shooting Joye’s bridal session. (Blog post to come…)

Theirs was a small, intimate wedding held at the lovely Jasmine and River Road Houses. Sometimes in a large affair, the little things can be lost in the greater complexity. Simplicity has a special beauty all its own. I like the increased time that I can spend with the bride and groom together. But all weddings have their unique stories. Some small, some large.

This is but a few photos of this South Carolina wedding. A quick story of a wonderful couple, and just a peek at whats to come.
