..chaaaaalston.

..to say the VERY least, last weekend was anything but boring. just the fact that i was spending the weekend in charleston was enough for me. BUT, you know me and the last thing my life is, is boring. the trip started friday night with my daddy and i singing along to HIS eminem cd...nothing like rapping "love the way you lie" with pops.
so saturday gets here (the official bridal portrait shooting day) and it is a BEA-UTIFUL day outside until the minute my kennedi walks out of the salon. our luck, its starts raining...and looking like "holy auntie em" vicious clouds out. after a lap around downtown dodging rain drops..we went into an a-mazing hotel (which shall remain nameless b/c they were ever so kind to break the rules and allow us to shoot inside). we got some so-so shots, so i convinced my kennedi to try again the next day. oh, and i must say how much i enjoyed the roof top bar afterwards...as it was NOT raining saturday evening. 
on sunday i couldn't complain waiting in the salon for several hours b/c the fabo jimmy opened the shop to re-do K's hair an makeup..and well, i got a very nicely priced toner put on my hair...washed and rinsed by my bride. hallelujah it was gorgeous and didn't rain a drop until mrs. inn-keeper america "rained" on our parade and kicked us off of using her gate. this particular hotel on the battery as well shall remain nameless because my K sent them a VERY well worded email to make up for our emotional distress. :) 
on a serious note, i seriously dug this trip because i got to spend some much needed time just me and the rents'. i got to know kennedi & her mom way more than i usually get the chance to with my brides...which btw, they are SO fabo. AND, we got some breathtaking shots of her in that wedding gown...it doesn't hurt when your venue is as beautiful as your bride. so since i can't show you these until after oct. 15th, for your viewing pleasure here is some random chucktown portraiture...errrr...i mean the properties hubs & i own.

...fish tacos..

sarah's list of "why abby & kevin's wedding was saawweet":
-they wrote their own vows  (so did my hubby & me)
-they brought the beach to clt
-kevin's dad is a photography guru
-fish tacos
-they cut the cake to the godfather theme song
-jazz & beach music played all evening
-by far the greatest MOH toast EVER!
i wish i had remembered the D90 has video so i could have caught it. here it is in a nutshell..
MOH, abby's sister, used to be a flight attendant. she started the toast out as if the guest were on a plane bound for takeoff. she incorporated song "summer lovin" as well as a journey song (they all sound the same to me) AND used some of the ladies for a sound bite. guess you had to be there.

..finally, i conquered the blog.

...i have so much fun with each of my clients during our sessions it would be a shame to not talk about it. running my mouth, after all, is like my most favy thing to do...next to being behind my camera. :)

today i got to hang out with this little man & his sweetheart mommy...check out those BIG eyes. he was top three best behaved bebes i've ever worked with, no doubt!
