Sanders Family at Wild Dunes

The Sanders family has to have been one of my most favorite customers over the years. Not only did I have the pleasure of photographing all three daughter's weddings, but they were three of the most enjoyable events I have ever covered. Each wedding took place at St. Mary's Catholic Church in downtown Charleston, but each reception was at a different location. Stephanie's was at the Old Exchange Building. Mindy's was at the Hibernian Hall and Alison's was the Mill's House Hotel. All were very classy and fun events.

Christi

This is Christi. Her mom Gail was one of my first customers back in the very early '80s. We did some fashion photography in Summerville, Charleston and Sullivan's Island. I also photographed her wedding in 1986, I believe.

Anyway.....her daughter Christi is following in her footsteps and needed to update her headshots. Here is a sample.

Sunset at Lake Moultrie...Short Stay

Both the shot above and below were taken with a 10-22mm lens.

Shot with the 28-135mm lens.

Shot with my 75-300mm lens, hand held.

Wildlife at Short Stay

The sea gull above kept an eye on me and made sure I didn't get too close.

Baby geese (below) were everywhere, as well as their droppings.....

The "beach" at Short Stay was closed due to alligator reports. This eight foot guy was captured, medicated and then gift wrapped so he could be relocated to a safer location.

Today's quiz, if you "could" count the teeth in an alligator's mouth, how many would there be?

Elizabeth & Dustin's Wedding 5/10/2008

Dustin's parents, Marty & Theresa Gavin (above) , found humor in one of the younger wedding guests. Elizabeth's sister Lynn (below), fans herself to stay cool.

Elizabeth and her mom hug one more time before leaving for the beach.

After the formal portraits, Dustin and Elizabeth spent a few moments getting their feet wet.

Smiling to the camera, Elizabeth and Dustin make their way to the receiving line.

Yours truly at work.....

Lynn shot this photo at the exact moment I shot mine. Great timing for her. Now I need to find my photo to see if she may be visible. I will post photos from Elizabeth & Dustin's wedding soon, after we go through the hundreds of images taken......

This Bud's for you......

The rose bushes in the front yard are now full of blooms. This is such a nice time of year, but the hot weather is just around the corner, I'm sure.
