Typically, I just put a few of my favorites on the blog... you know, the portraits, a bit o' style here, beauty there, pretty colors... that kind of thing. I spent the major part of my day deliberating over these wedding images and what to post. (Truly, like hours... I don't know why, my mind goes crazy, I have to take walks, and call my mom, and well... it's just a photographer-thing.)

At the end, I was just like, I love these people, I love this whole wedding. Truly. These two are ridiculous, and the entire day was a blast. I couldn't skim this one down, even the ones that are slightly, er, atypical, like Daniel smooching the bald groomsman's head... totally unrequested.. it just happened.

So here is post 1 of 3...

Cris and Sam were married at the Falls Church in Virginia. Two beautiful people, through and through, committing their lives to one another and the Lord -- it was an honor to capture the day for them.

A few from a beautiful wedding I shot in Charleston last month. Congratulations, MaryGene & Andrew!

 
 

It was a near impossible task to choose my favorites for the journal post. 

The wonderful lodge in Table Rock, South Carolina was the perfect setting for their wedding. I couldn't have asked for more enjoyable company. Congratulations, Jill and Matt, and Merry Christmas to all!
