Augusta GA Wedding Photographer | Amanda and DJ

Early this year, I got an email from a groom.  I thought this was kind of odd, because I usually receive inquiries from the bride.  I thought it might be a scam, but I quickly realized this was a groom that loved his bride to be and was willing to help her in any way possible!  

After exchanging a few emails with DJ (who was serving our Country overseas), I got to meet Amanda and her mom and instantly wanted to photograph this wedding!  

Thankfully, Amanda and DJ wanted me to photograph their wedding just as much and we set the date.  I was also able to photograph DJ's homecoming (tear jerker) Click here for homecoming session  and their engagement session.  

Here is the sneak preview of their wedding this past October.  They had a beautiful day and it was filled with love, fun, family, and friends!  I hope everyone enjoys this sneak preview!

These guys were hilarious!  DJ had his 3 best friends and Amanda's brother stand beside him.  Amanda had her 2 best friends and DJ's sister stand beside her.

Love this picture

Amanda and her daddy during their first look!  

I always love watching the grooms reaction through my view finder.  I love how DJ took a quick peek as Amanda walked over and then the smile as she walked down the aisle.

Best first kiss!

Mr. and Mrs.

Love their rings!

The gorgeous reception venue

Sweet first dance

The DJ suggested the girls play bouquet musical chairs... it was a huge hit!

The rest of the evening was filled with dancing (in chairs), crazy photo booth props, Amanda's grandma breaking it down, and money was collected through a dollar dance.  Everyone had a blast!

The night was complete with a bubble exit for the bride and groom.

DJ's friends hope you had a great time and enjoyed the pictures! 

North Augusta SC Wedding Photographer | Kristen and Mike

I met Kristen and Mike earlier this year, and have enjoyed getting to know this sweet couple!  We were able to meet early this summer for their engagement session and had a blast.  They brought their dog Paisley and she is just the sweetest thing! I will try to get some of those images on the blog soon!

After their engagement session, I was really happy about their wedding day and it turned out to be a great day for an outdoor wedding!  The wedding took place at the North Augusta Living History Park and every detail was perfect.

I hope you enjoy these images and it gets you excited to see the rest!

The girls got ready at a friend's (and hairstylist) house.  There were little chalkboards everywhere.   Nothing like starting the morning with sweet notes and a great breakfast!

Kristen was gorgeous as her dad walked her down the aisle.

The ceremony was beautiful and very sweet.

Mr and Mrs.

It is always good to pick a wedding party that is up for anything and willing to help... even hold a veil for pictures haha 

Mike had his two brothers and his father stand beside him and Kristen had her cousin and two best friends stand beside her.

All the fun details!

 Sweet first dance as husband and wife

Kristen's brothers playing an intense game of corn hole

The girl that caught the bouquet and the guy that caught the garter are actually dating.  Do I hear wedding bells? 

Kristen and Mike's friends and family did not go easy on the bird seed throwing! 

Such a gorgeous couple!

Beautiful bride

Congratulations Kristen and Mike! 

Augusta GA Wedding Photographer | Layne and Justin

I met Layne at a bridal show I did back in February.  I got to talk to her mom and her and we hit it off right away!  We booked the date and at the beginning of October Layne and Justin were married at a gorgeous cotton plantation home in the heart of Augusta, Georgia.

This was my first time at this location and I fell in love!  Perrin Guest House is a gorgeous home and rental facility.  Layne took the property and transformed it into a gorgeous place for her wedding.  The details were amazing and everything was perfect!

I had such a fun time celebrating with Layne and Justin and their family and friends.  It was like a big party on a gorgeous evening and everyone had a great time!

Congratulations you two and I hope you enjoy this sneak preview!

This cake was gorgeous!  I loved everything about it.

I loved the pop of blue in the shoes and the gorgeous ring!
