Ralph, Chloe’s father, gave a great speech about her at the rehearsal dinner. Apparently when Paul asked for Chloe’s hand (he flew all the way to NYC from Houston to ask permission), Ralph said to Paul, “you know she’s going to try to organize you.” That made me laugh. Chloe is a woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to ask politely for it. She is kind, generous, charming and yes, very organized. During the wedding day, I noticed many times Chloe and her father having fun together. She thanked him numerous times during the evening and it struck me as a sincere bond that is hard to come by between father and daughter. It is always an honor to witness the various types of joy and love at our events. Paul is a risk-taker and so easy to get along with. The wedding combined elements of the Bride’s vintage style, and the Groom’s sense of adventure with their love for Charleston, where they first met. He created a short film about his love for Chloe, which played at the rehearsal dinner. I think if you watch it, you’ll get an idea of Paul’s personality and how genuine his love is for Chloe. Back to the actual wedding– what can I say, Lowdnes Grove Plantation is just glorious, as is Charleston, and the entire reception I felt like I was placed inside the Great Gatsby. The bride has a true love of vintage style, inherited from her mother. They both share an appreciation for antique aesthetics and art deco design, and the wedding embraced an elegant, festive, art deco look. Carrie Glasscock from A Charleston Bride orchestrated this theme flawlessly for Chloe’s event day coordination. Jamelle and I truly enjoyed working with her team. Please enjoy the slideshow if you are craving more photos– it’s one of the longest shows ever!

I promised myself I wouldn’t post a photo of this event until it was 100% edited. I just can’t help myself. I mean we’ve all seen sparkler exits but how about an Adventurer groom (who rode his motorcycle to South America)… then chooses to exit his Art-Deco-New-Years-Eve-Charleston wedding with his bride in a vintage motorcycle sidecar? Pretty much sums up perfect, if you ask me. Congrats to Chloe and Paul– hang on to your seats, the photos are awesome. 
Barb and Mac were married among close friends at Grandeur Point in Grand Canyon. It was a perfect Grand Canyon sunset and we loved the easy-going-fun-loving attitude of this couple. JB from Sedona Luxury Weddings planned this entire event for them and Shanandoah Sterling of Sterling Weddings officiated this ceremony. Thanks to Patricia Vega for hair and makeup! Congrats! ~Cameron
What can I say about this classy and elegant Houston affair? It was so much fun. Bekah is one of eight children and she is the second to last to get married–I just love their family. We look forward to working with them again this December for Paul & Chloe’s wedding in Charleston, SC. Bekah’s sister, Sarah introduced her to Casey and the two of them have been inseparable ever since. The instant you meet Casey you realize he’s a kind soul (and you also notice that he’s 6’7″– college basketball, yes). This couple is so sweet and in love and we all just adored working with them and their families. There were so many amazing details from this event that it’s hard to list them all: gorgeous letterpress invitations, a sweets bar, a coffee station, a jazz trio that set the Sinatra mood in the main tent and a jamming band that brought the house down in the white tent. We also covered the rehearsal dinner and the bridesmaids luncheon so stay tuned for some great photos from those events next week. None of this would be possible without Mary Beth’s vision and decor skills. Special thanks to Dot Paul, a photojournalist friend of mine from Georgia, who flew in to cover details and be a third photographer on this event. Congrats to Bekah and Casey! ~Cameron

Nicole and Gary were married on the popular date of 11/11/11 which was a beautiful day in Sedona. Early November is one of my favorite times in Sedona because you typically still have some fall color and this was no exception. Nicole and Gary were tickled pink to be in each other’s company all day and we ended up doing a first look, which turned out really fun. One of my favorite parts of the day was when the couple danced to a Ben Fold’s Five song called “The Luckiest”– you can actually see Gary singing it to Nicole in our dancing shot. It was very sweet. Andrea from Sedona Cake Couture created their fabulous cake and Nicole had a dress change before the reception. Congrats to this lovely couple.

They say rain on your wedding day means good luck, so Feliz and John must be in for a some good fortune. No couple really pictures their wedding day in the rain but for the photography it always adds a magical look, don’t you think? It shook up their plans a little but these guys rolled with it and all that mattered was their love. Isn’t Feliz is totally gorgeous? I love her style and the pops of red and DIY Aspen touches. Pine Canyon is gorgeous… come on up here and get married! ~Cameron
