The weather report was not very good. But that can’t stop Critsey and me from taking pictures. And Sherry and Kevin were in good spirits too while Joni of Creations Hair & Makeup enhanced Sherry’s natural beauty in our hotel room. While we chatted there, Kevin told us that he used to live in Australia for several years. I would have never guessed – he has no Aussie accent at all! When we left the hotel the rain started.

But not for long and by the time we got to Central Park it was already getting nicer. The two are an intriguing couple and we had fun right away! I am still impressed that we made it to more parts of the Park that I had thought. Usually we don’t get far because we find so many little spots nearby.
We used the opportunity of a cello player in the Park for a little dance and then moved on to Brooklyn Bridge.

Now the weather was wonderful, and on a Saturday afternoon like this Brooklyn Bridge is packed! No worries, we love it and it has become our specialty to get pictures on the bridge that make it look as if there were hardly any or no people at all!
We had such a great time with Sherry & Kevin and we can’t wait to photograph their wedding!

Charleston, SC is a beautiful town and Cecily and Shannon are a hot couple. They also are owners of the Charlotte, NC and Raleigh, NC Bella Bridesmaid boutiques. For months, each time we bumped into each other somewhere we were talking about how cool their wedding would be. Well, it was!

Weather was bright and clear, temperatures were in the high 70s and I was relieved that it was not as hot as Charlotte when I left there (89ºF !).

Cecily got ready at The Wickliffe House where the reception took place as well. The house is owned by Mediterra Catering, who did a great job that day. Cecily and Shannon decided that they would see each other before the ceremony. Not many couples do this, but it is a wonderful and unique moment. I am sure they will never forget it.

After this, everybody walked over to the church, St. Luke’s Chapel, just a few houses down the road. Another thing that I love when couples do it!

The reception was inside of the house as well as outside, where all the dancing and party took place. Shannon had originally planned to have a carriage take them from the reception, but the horse died the night before! Can you believe it?! No horse, so a cat had to jump in – a black Jaguar took the couple into married life …

Since many great moments in Cecily and Shannon’s lives happened on Charleston’s East Bay Street, Shannon got a beautiful painting of the corner of East Bay Street and Faber Street where S.N.O.B. (Slightly North Of Broad) is located. I went there the next day and shot an interpretation of this painting.

I am very happy to tell you that the beautiful Missy, a bride I photographed, made it on the Bridal Showcase’s program cover.

If you are a regular on the GG-Blog, then you will remember the photos of her stunning bridal portrait and of Missy and Joe’s great wedding.

Awesome!
