Saturday we had the absolute pleasure of photographing Eliza Rudder and Brent Dickenson's wedding. We haven't even gone through all the images but we wanted to share a few that immediately jumped out as favorites.....more to come soon. Enjoy!

A pretty bride...

This was fun...Eliza and Brent were adamant about not seeing each other before the ceremony (which is perfectly fine for us, photography-wise. Some couples want to, some don't and it doesn't matter to us either way).  Before the ceremony, after all of the bridesmaids and groomsmen pictures were finished, Eliza and Brent met  outside of this door frame to touch hands and say a few words to each other - they could not see each other. I LOVE THIS PICTURE!

This is my (Natalie) favorite picture so far - This was moments before the ceremony - the girls were hiding in the stairwell, about to walk up and enter the sanctuary.  I love it because of the light, the graininess (ISO 1600), the drama, and Eliza's face is sweet and pensive - she's listening to the music upstairs.

The joy of having two photographers: Brent at the same moment as Eliza on the stairs. All of our cameras synced down to the second so that everything comes out moment by moment. This is at 6:30 pm.

The ceremony at First Baptist Church was very well attended. Notice the 10 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen! - they all fit just perfectly up there. It was a very lovely ceremony and afterwards, the reception was held at Club Le Conte.....More to come soon!!

I met Erin last spring and knew right away: 1). We were going to be instant friends... she has got to be one of the coolest girls you'll ever meet and 2). I had to shoot her wedding.  One of the reasons she is so fantastic is because she introduced me to the Twilight Series (my obsession for the last oh, 8 months.. don't knock it 'til you've tried it! : )  Her fiance Chris is not bad either....  he's so funny, and together they make a really cute, fun, hip, couple.  We had sooo much fun doing their engagement shoot in downtown Charleston, SC.  And, we are very excited about their upcoming wedding a The William Aiken House in Charleston this May.

**One note about this engagement session and the previous engagement post (Heidi & Mike): As you can see they are very different. When Dan and I are talking to our clients about engagement shoots and possible locations, one of the first things we ask them is do you prefer a natural setting or an urban one? Erin and Chris's shoot is very urban, Heidi and Mike's is very natural. 

There are too many great photos of Erin and Chris from this session to post them all, but are few of the favs...

Erin has really long lashes!  I'm totally jealous. Has anyone tried the new 'tubes' mascara? I just picked some up yesterday and it's fabulous. It really makes them longer and no smudging.
