Brad and Sallie | Winnsboro, SC Wedding Photographer

Couples | Engagement· Weddings

19 Apr

They grew up together in the town of Winnsboro, yet their love story began just four years ago through volunteering with the local fire department.  So, what better way to tie in that memory than officially leaving their wedding ceremony in this– a convertible fire truck.  And what a beautiful backdrop First United Methodist Church was for a wedding!

 

Many thanks to my friend and fellow photog Renee’ Nicolo for accompanying me as second shooter this wedding! It is so important, in my opinion, to have a second camera capturing another point of view for moments that the main photographer may not be able to get to at the time.  Like this one; she adores you Brad! 🙂

Presenting Mr. and Mrs. Brad Williams!

More great shots from Renee’.

I love to spend a couple moments after group formals with just bride and groom and snag a few sweet shots of the newlyweds!

Sallie’s hair and makeup were done by Trend Setter Stylon in Winnsboro.

And a few details from the day. The gorgeous dress of course, from Bella Vista Bridal!  Check out that train.

All the gorgeous flowers were done by Dr. Jim Lane.  And I mean… GORGEOUS!

Oh my, and the lovely rings!  Stunning.  Sallie’s wedding band was her grandmother’s.  *LOVE*

There was a chance of thunderstorms that evening, and with dark clouds rolling in, Sallie kept her fingers crossed.  Turned out to be a marvelous evening 🙂  Here is Sallie with her mother and father before the ceremony.  So sweet!

After the ceremony, we made our way over to the Old Armory for the reception.  Cake by Parkland Cakes.

The first dance as husband and wife.

And I can’t leave this post without pictures of the awesome band– Still Cruzin‘!  They had me dancing while working 🙂  But that’s easy to make me do. Live wedding music bands create special festive mood.

Brad and Sallie, I am so thankful that you allowed me to capture these memories for you!  I wish you both many blessings as you continue this new chapter in your lives.   Stay tuned for more fabulous images; coming soon!

I love experiencing ‘firsts’ with my child; always
I love experiencing ‘firsts’ with my child; always have. And that doesn’t stop when they are teenagers. 🥰 February 21, 2026 was Gus’ first reenactment- the Battle of Aiken! You can tell by the black powder on his face, too, as that is the initiation. 😁

He planned for this day for a year. One of his buddies briefly mentioned after the 2025 one that they should look into being involved. Well, that conversation sparked a drive in this boy! Although the friend didn’t go onto being involved, Gus knew he would! So he saved up some money and purchased his gear. 

At the last minute, the unit he was originally registered with backed out of attending due to potential bad weather. So that left us scrambling. We told him not to worry and to just pack the vehicle with all his gear and we would just drive on to Aiken and figure it out when we get there. 😅 And by divine intervention, I’m sure of it, he ended up with the most wonderful unit of reenactors that he will continue with now, for years to come. 🙌🙏 

PS: he had his heart set on representing the South, but his unit was drafted to portray Union federalists at the last minute. 🤪

A couple weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to be able to get away for a couple days with my grandma, mama, and two of my aunts! Such a blessing!!! 💜 We perused the beach for shells and at night played the game ‘Taco, Goat, Cat, Cheese, Pizza’ (there were only two games provided in the house 🤣); all of us came away with some type of bruise. 🤣 We also had the Stone family famous shrimp ‘n grits for breakfast one morning! This trip was such a treasure!

These fellas had a heckuva start to their fishing tournament season this past Saturday. 😅 First, their typical boat captain was under the weather, so had to play switch-a-roo on boat *and* captain. Then, about 11am during the tournament the boat they were in broke down, leaving them only the section of the lake they could access with the trolling motor. Thankfully, a fellow team boat captain (and our church pastor!) was able to return his anglers to weigh-in, then make the run across the lake to snatch up these two fellas and get them to the dock in time for weigh-in. SHEW Y’ALL! 😅😵‍💫 They still managed 4 of the 5 fish limit with 10.04 lbs. 🙌
