A few weeks ago Stacy and I traveled down to the Columbia area for Elizabeth & Drew’s wedding.  The wedding was at Ashland United Methodist Church, and the Reception at the Saluda Shoals River Center.

Elizabeth was a gorgeous bride!  She had such a classic look about her.

Last August, on the hottest day of the year, I traveled down to Columbia to shoot Vanessa & Ben’s engagement session. We started out the session at Finley Park, and ended it at the South Carolina State House.

Did I mention it was the hottest day of the year?  Haha!  By the time we all walked across the grass to get to the place where we were going to start shooting at Finley Park we were all already drenched!  It was just so hot.  We took a few there, then moved on to the SC State House.  Thankfully, the humidity wasn’t as bad there.

Vanessa and Ben were troopers.  I thought that they would call it a day because of the heat, but they wanted to continue to shoot even though they were both soaked through!  By the end of the session Vanessa’s hair was so wet it looked like she had dunked her hair in a pool!  Thankfully Vanessa is beautiful enough to rock the wet hair though.

Yes, we had 2 bridal portraits and weddings in a row with 2 different brides named Sarah!  In this edition of our portrait session with Sarah, we traveled down to the State House in Columbia, SC for her bridal portraits.  We also ran over to a special place on Lake Murray for a few at the end.

Enjoy the pictures!
