Back in September I have the opportunity to work with the staff at Lauxmont Farms for a wedding.  I was more of a second shooter for the day, but it was still a lot of fun.  I personally have never been to Lauxmont, it’s a neat place.  The views are the best part of it all!

This wedding was at the Japanese Gardens and the bride was delivered by horse and carriage.  How romantic!

As a “second” shooter I was able to focus a little more on the details of the day…  something I typically leave to my second shooter…  I love flowers!

Especially when they are brightly colored!

The ares for photos around the gardens are almost endless.  Unfortunately we were a little pressed for time so I didn’t get to really explore as I would have liked.  I did love the yellow door though!  Not only did it give this photo a little extra pop, it matched her colors!

This was one of the best entrances I’ve seen in a while.  I’m sure there was quite a back story to this because it was well received by the guests!

The bridal party took to dollar dance seriously at this wedding.  The Maid of Honor and Best Man were keeping tabs on each other, seeing who could raise the most money!

This is the first time I worked in a tent for a reception.  After the sun went down I ventured out to play around…  love this shot!

This was a fun day…  maybe I’ll have the opportunity to shoot there again this year!  Thanks Katy for the opportunity!

 

It’s time to do a little blog catch-up!  About a month ago (tomorrow to be exact) Kristin and Zach tied the knot!

July is a tricky time to plan a wedding as it can be rather warm.  Kristin and Zach got a true summer day for their wedding!  We struggled a little with the heat and humidity, but we still got through the day and had a blast!  Plenty of water and fans around to help keep everyone comfortable!

I love when brides have a little extra fun mixed into their day!  Kristin’s maid of honor decorated her shoes and the bride found this awesome garter to surprise her groom with!

Some of the best shots I get are when you least expect it.  This was actually while everyone was lacing up her dress.  I love it!

We begged and begged to convince Kristin to go outside for a few shots before hand.  She finally gave in and allowed us a few precious minutes in the heat!  Does this look like a group that is melting under the noon sun?  Nah!

I think Zach was the best sport out of the whole day!  The poor guys, in their full get-up…  they were beyond hot!  Zach still managed to tolerate me making him stand for “just one more photo”…  which really wasn’t just one more!

Quick stop after the ceremony and before the reception at the bridge at Rock Hill!  I’m so glad they suggested this!  I love this shot!

As we were walking back to our car to head to the reception I realized Kristin and Zach were not going towards the limo, but towards the bar…  WAIT UP!  There’s no way they’re going without me!  Cheers!

Have the throw in a group shot from the day!

Mr. & Mrs. Farmer share their first dance

Let the party begin!

This was a fun day, even though it was so stinking hot!  Everyone still had a great time, especially the new Mr. & Mrs.  A huge congrats to both of you!  I hope you share many years of happy times and remember the fun you had as you started your new life together!  Thanks for allowing me to share in your day!
