Love Story

Dan + Amelia — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:56:33 +0000

Dan and I have been working on some ideas, and we are really excited to introduce the Love Story. We combine our still photography, audio interviews, a pinch of video, and the musical genius of Mr. Jenkins to create a unique look at our wedding couples prior to their “I do’s.” Part of our love for photography stems from telling people’s stories through photographs, and this is an extension of that love. We just wrapped up Lindy and Jack’s Love Story, and are very excited to share it with you. Here is the link on our site to the Love Story section, and if you are interested in having your story told send us a note;).

Photographer family photos

Dan + Amelia — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 18:40:30 +0000

A fellow photographer from Canada, Marc Douglas, found us on the AG|WPJA and asked us to photograph his family when they came down to vacation at Myrtle Beach this summer. Marc is quite a photographer himself, so we were honored that he asked us to capture his family! Marc, his wife Mel, and their daughter Desiray were a joy to photograph. They are a cute little familial unit, and have a wonderful time together laughing and joking around. We look forward to more summer visits and inspiration from Marc’s blog

Fitzgerald family

Dan + Amelia — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 16:30:37 +0000

The Fitzgerald family came down south to the beach for their family vacation this summer, and decided it was a perfect time for some photos. We had a great time photographing them on Folly Beach, and it was nice being able to see some of our old friends from Ar-Kansas;)

Charleston food and beverage entrepeneurs

Dan + Amelia — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 15:35:09 +0000

We photographed local Charleston entrepreneurs Mike Ray of Normandy Farm Artisan Bakery, David Merritt and Jaime Tenney of Coast Brewery, Nicole Rager of Nicole’s Nutty Goodness, and Hank Weed of Caribrew Cold Press Coffee for an article in the Charleston Scene by Matthew Godbey. Owning your own business is hard work, and it was extremely rewarding to photograph such talented and dedicated individuals. They have all made their dreams their own reality, which takes a lot of courage and possibly a little bit of crazy;). It is really a pleasure living in Charleston where so many small businesses live and thrive. Here’s to local business and local talent!

As seen in the Scene…

Some of our favorites…

Rees family portrait

Dan + Amelia — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 14:11:59 +0000

We photographed the Rees’ family while they were on their vacation at the beach in Charleston SC. They were such a fun group, and we have decided to commission them to record an album for all our upcoming family photo sessions;). It was a gorgeous morning, and the colors of their clothing worked splendidly with the environment!

Anna + Wes . Wilmington NC

Dan + Amelia — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 15:02:43 +0000

This was a very meaningful wedding for me to photograph, because I have known Anna since high school. We went to college together too, where she taught me how to pluck my eyebrows—thank you Anna! Anna has always been such a wonderful woman with a kind soul. She is gorgeous, and it was such an honor to be able to photograph her wedding day. One of the reasons I love my job is because I get to record history as its happening, and it makes it all the more special when it is someone I have shared my own history with. Wes is one lucky man, along with his sons Hunter and Avery who now have a new step-mom:). I won’t embarrass both of us by bringing out some of the photographs from our high school “dance” parties (which mainly involved eating cake and a bit of treadmill action;), but there is still a collage of photos on a cork board in my closet back home decorated with our memories. I guess I’ll have to add some of these to my collection now. I love you Anna, and I wish you and Wes much laughter and joy in your adventure together!

Special thanks to all the vendors that made the day so beautiful!

Kate + Chris at Mingo Point Bay Kiawah Island resort

Dan + Amelia — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 16:52:24 +0000

Kate and Chris had an intimate wedding with just a few close friends and family on Kiawah Island Resort. The guys started off the wedding day festivities on the golf course at Oak Point, and the ladies headed over to the Sanctuary salon and spa. The ceremony was at Mingo Point Bay, and it was stunning! The weather couldn’t have been more pleasant, and the light was gorgeous. The River City Dixieland Jazz Band carried everyone through the evening festivities, and even joined in on the dance floor. The Lowcountry meal was simply delicious, and introduced a few northerners to some of the great southern delicacies. After Mingo Point, the party moved over to the Turtle Point Clubhouse. The dancing was fierce, and the porch created a relaxing setting for smoking cigars. Honestly, if we had to get married again I think we would follow Kate and Chris’ plan to a tee. It was a perfect wedding for a perfect couple. Best wishes to Kate and Chris, and we hope you have many years of laughter! Oh, and we miss Walter, so give him a hug for us;)

Annette and Wes ~ engagement session Folly Beach

Dan + Amelia — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 15:05:46 +0000

Annette and Wes got engaged back in December, and are planning a wedding out in California where Annette grew up. They both work for the U.S. Coast Guard and wanted to have their engagement session at the beach. We decided to head out to Folly Beach for engagement photos. They love the ocean, so it worked out great;). We are excited for them, and grateful for the work they do for our country. Happy Fourth of July, and best wishes!

Cait + Bob ~ June 26, 2010

Dan + Amelia — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 17:16:31 +0000

Cait and Bob got married at St. John’s Lutheran Church in downtown Charleston with a reception at the Legare-Waring House in Charles Towne Landing. We have been looking forward to this wedding for quite some time, and knew it was going to be amazing! It was a gorgeous day, and spectacular wedding as expected. Cait and Bob are big history buffs, so they incorporated the history of Charleston in to their day. The colors were black, white and Tiffany blue. Stacey Fraunfelter of Red Letter Events did an amazing job putting everything together, and they even had tours of Charleston following the ceremony on the way to the reception! There was a cigar roller at the reception, old farm tables to dine on, and 5 pies for dessert. Truly a marvelous wedding, and we know Cait and Bob will be making history together for quite some time;).

Righchus

Dan + Amelia — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 21:01:07 +0000

We had the pleasure of photographing Righchus, a local Charleston rap artist for the Charleston Scene magazine. He works with Mark Berry, and they produce some really intriguing work. He is a SUPER nice guy, and really enjoyed listening to Dan’s Peter Tosh and Jimi Hendrix records while we photographed him;). The images ran in color, but we loved them in black + white too. So, here is how they ran, and the monochrome below. Check out the article on local Charleston rap artists too!
