winter wedding

Bekah & Luke's Wedding at Indigo Hall | A Spartanburg, SC Wedding Photographer

Bekah and Luke's purple and gray wedding at Indigo Hall in Spartanburg, SC was beautiful! They had several unique and fun aspects to their wedding including a popcorn bar, corn hole, and the shoe game.I was overjoyed to find we had many different options for spots to take pictures in downtown Spartanburg. I absolutely love the "urban" feel of Bekah and Luke's portraits with the colorful backgrounds, brick buildings, and white walls. 

Bekah and Luke are a very sweet and fun couple who also love Jesus and that was very clear throughout their wedding day! I had a wonderful time getting to know them and I was especially blessed by Bekah's kindness, thoughtfulness, and selflessness (I mean, the girl thought to ask me what drink I wanted from starbucks on her wedding day!).

Bekah and Luke, thank you for letting me capture your special day! I had a blast!

Amanda & Keith's Wedding at Sleepy Hollow | A Clemson, SC Wedding Photographer

Amanda and Keith had a beautiful winter wedding at Sleepy Hollow in Clemson, SC. I loved the neutral colors, cotton, greenery, and rustic elements incorporated into their details and decorations.

But most importantly, Amanda and Keith's wedding day was beautiful because of their evident love for one another and for Jesus. I have to admit that I got a little teary eyed during their ceremony when their church congregation, friends, and family gathered around them to lay hands on them and pray for their marriage. Throughout their wedding day, it was very clear how important Amanda and Keith are to so many people. I loved watching Keith with all of the young men he's built relationships with in the youth group at his church (the guys pictured below in white shirts and khaki pants) and Amanda with her sweet bridesmaids and friends. I was also very impressed with how calm and joyful Amanda remained in spite of rain on her wedding day. It rained all morning and we weren't sure if the ceremony would be able to be held outside. However, right before we needed to go outside to shoot Keith and Amanda's first look, it stopped raining and the weather cleared up enough to take all of their pictures outside and to have their ceremony outside. Praise the Lord!

Amanda and Keith's wedding truly was a beautiful and joyful celebration. I hope you enjoy these small glimpses into their special day.
