Last name- Tillman

Ceremony: St Lukes Chapel

Reception: Marions on east bay street

Marla and Jesse are pretty cool people to hang out with…

Marla got dressed at her aunts house and the ceremony was in an old church that has quite a bit of family history.
We celebrated the reception at Marla’s parents house with a REEEEAAALY cool band to rock the night away with….

Shilo Church in Bowman, SC

I had never been to the Inn and honestly didn’t know this place existed! Once you pull into the parking it’s like you are in a totally different place. The trees that surround the Inn act like acoustic sound dampeners and sort of “filter” the noise that comes with living in Charleston. (not that there is a lot of that anyway! )

The ceremony and reception was over at the the Rice Mill Building where DJ Jay Maxwell and crew spun the tunes and kept the mood of the day classy but with a contemporary with music that I don’t normally hear at weddings! I actually though that Jay had hacked my pandora account and was playing my Coldplay station!
Their wedding was designed with splashes of yellow, Grey and Green everywhere that matched the feel of the day. …Bright, Cheery and eye catching!

Jan and Courtney are truly amazing….
Courtney is a knower of all things. Seriously! …and if she doesent know it she WILL find out what you need to know.
*side note* During their engagement session in Charlotte NC, I recall being blown away about some of the details she knew about all sorts of subjects!

Jan is quite interesting and a lot deeper of a person that the normal guy…. He is/was an english teacher until he felt the call to go in the armed forces. So he gave up a teaching job here in the states to put his life on the line and go to war to defend our freedom….   I agree with Jan’s Brother… Jan is the definition of sacrifice and courage.

*another side note* I have never had a Groom that was SOOoo in to the wedding planning like Jan was THAT was cool.

Amanda and Brian are pretty dang fantastic.

The strength of their love for each other is quite unbelievable.
And to be honest, I was totally blown away about their convictions about love, marriage and courting.

Here are just a few from their totally magical day surrounded by friends and family as they pledged to each other until death do we part…

I have been really looking forward to posting Heathers Bridal session for quite some time now. And because their wedding was this past weekend at the Charleston Tea Plantation I am now free to post!

Special Thanks to Heather’s mom for helping me move furniture and Courtney for being there for moral support… You guys are fantastic!

So when Kristen and Alex wanted to shoot out in the middle of nowhere I jumped at the chance to get out of Charleston for the day.

…And me being a country boy and growing up on a farm I love being outdoors. When I get to combine both being outdoors in the “sticks” AND shooting, I’m in heaven. The first place we shot at on today’s shoot is an old barn WAY up highway 176 on the edge of berkeley county that I saw a few years ago and have been saving it up for “just the right” couple..

There is no doubt in my mind that everyone that attended this wedding will be talking about it for years.

Thanks to Tanis Jackson from Tanis J Events for a flawless night. Everything was perfect.

Just like the weather… A nice cool breeze blew across the yard and the night ended in a nice crisp night.

Have a look!
