Cotillion photo shoot!

Sally, a Furman University student, needed her cotillion photo ASAP. We did the traditional cotillion pose and background.

Trash the Dress!

Had a great time shooting another Trash The Dress session today. Shot today with Mike from Unforgettable Wedding Video. He asked me to join him to photograph one of his brides. It was great to see him in action and learn what other photographers do for a Trash the Dress session. Honestly, we didn't get a chance to trash the dress as much as I thought we would, but just the ability to not worry about it getting a little dirty allowed us to get creative and artsy!

Grace United Methodist Church anniversary

Grace United Methodist Church celebrated it's 50th anniversary today. The most challenging photo was of the entire congregation in front of the church. You can't imagine the size of the ladder I climbed out in the middle of the grass to take this shot. I am talking about having time to think about the fall before I hit if I had slipped. I mean, TALL! But it was worth it!

Family Photos

The Allen Family stopped by Touch of Grace's portrait studio in Greer for some family photos. We started in the studio and then moved outside since the weather was so beautiful.

Shawnell's Damp Bridal Session

Shawnell had been putting her bridal off for a while. When we do bridal sessions, we like to do them about two months or more before the wedding. Shawnell was down to two weeks before the wedding! We finally planned our session for Furman and Downtown Greenville. The day of the bridal, IT RAINED! We wanted to reschedule, but Shawnell was determined to shoot. With help, we arranged to use the Hyatt Downtown Greenville for the session. We got some wonderful images, but we love getting outside too, so we did a very quick session with one of our lighting diffusers that looks like a pretty white umbrella. What do you think?

Madison's Bridal Shoot

Madison and Matt had their engagement session at Clemson University, where they both graduated from last year. Madison is a Clemson girl for sure, but when it came time to do her Bridal Shoot, she went with Furman University's beautiful campus. We started near the fountains near the University's entrance way and then moved to the beautiful Rose Garden.

Sarah and Joseph Wedding at Caesars Head

Sarah and Joseph wanted a small wedding in a grand venue. What better place than Caesar's Head? A granit outcropping atop the dramatic Blue Ridge Escarpment, it offers a breathtaking view. We arrived early, before the guests and bridal party, and set up our podium and arch for the ceremony.

After the wedding, we went to Bald Rock for some additional photos before everyone was off to the reception...
