It’s that time of year again!  Time to think about what we will be getting your significant other for Valentines Day.  Why not a family portrait session, or couples session?

This is the perfect time to get those family portraits that you’ve been meaning to do!  Also, why should engagement style photo sessions just be reserved for couples that aren’t married yet?  Why not show everyone how much in love you are with your spouse by showing off awesome images of you together?

Starting today through February 28th all portrait sessions are free if you pre-purchase just $300.00 worth of prints.  Call our office at 1.888.MTN.WEDD or  email us at jason@bluemtnphoto.com to book your session today!  We do have a limited number of slots available, so call and schedule your appointment as soon as you can!

Last August, I met with Katie in downtown Greenville to do her bridal portraits.  We shot some inside the Westin Poinsett Hotel, and then around downtown Greenville.

Late last Summer I was invited down to do some family portraits for the Miller family.  We photographed Meg’s  wedding back in March, and she wanted us to come down and family portraits as well!

One of the things that made this session fun, was that I got to photograph 2 of the hardest subjects that there is to photograph.  Pets and children!

In July I met up with Lauren and Clark a Clemson University to photograph their engagement session.  Both Lauren and Clark are both Clemson grads, so Clemson was a perfect place for the session.

We started out shooting around Tillman Hall, then worked our way over to the SC Botanical Gardens.

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.

Last May I visited Newberry, SC to photograph Megan’s bridal portraits.  Newberry is such a nice little town.  Pretty much an idyllic place for a bridal portrait session.

We had the privilege of traveling to Newberry 3 times last year for weddings, and 4 times in a 10 month period.  We really love going down there to photograph weddings.

In May Kyle and Kristen came down to our Fountain Inn studio for their engagement session.  I am so blessed to be able to walk right out of my office and have such really cool places to shoot!

We photographed Kyle and Kristen walking around Fountain Inn.  Fountain Inn is changing so fast right now, that in just a few years you won’t even be able to recognize where we took the pictures!

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!

Back in May Sarah and I visited Furman University to shoot her bridal portrait session.  Sarah was away in the Navy when her Mother booked us for her portrait session and wedding, so this bridal portrait was the first time I had ever met her.  When she showed up in her  bridal gown she was absolutely beautiful!

On to the pics!
