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!

It’s a screenshot from a video filmed Saturday night in low-light on a smart phone, but it captured a core memory for me! 💜 We used to dance a lot; well before everyone had video devices with them everywhere. 😅👵🏼 This picture is such a treasure to me-  my forever dance partner! 🥰 Thank you, @pampamtee !!!

I’ve recently realized that most of my friends force me out of my comfort zone. 😆😆😆 And while I am not the best at voicing my thoughts a lot of times, I’m so very thankful for that in my friends! 

And it is no different for this girl! 

Find you a friend who says, (meanwhile, while we are planning a trip to Utah), “Oh! But let’s extend a couple days, rent a car, leave Utah and travel to Idaho for some sight- seeing to check that state off my list! And while we are there we may as well drive on to Oregon before flying back home. And possibly Washington if we have time!” 😳🤣 And so we did! (We didn’t make it to Washington, though.)

Or a friend when returning from a girl’s trip to Hawaii with a 4 hr layover in San Francisco says, “you know… we might as well hop in an Uber and go see the Golden Gate Bridge while we wait.”And already had the Uber lined up before I could think this through. 😆😅 

I knew of April in high school, and even vacationed with her family (friends also with her SIL) one Christmas to Dollywood, and thought, “now there’s a girl who isn’t afraid to just tell it like it is. I LOVE THAT!” 🤣 No wonder our lives have connected years later! And I’m SO THANKFUL FOR YOU!

Happiest of birthdays, @april_waddell_essentials ! Have the best adventure today!!!

Y’all… I really *am* thankful for friends in my life who push me out of my comfort zone. lol! And also plan adventures!!! I do think of the fun adventures in my head, but the planning part is NOT my forte. However, my pal Allison has it down pat! 🙌 She approached me several months ago about an overnight backpacking trip with her and her kids. I was reluctant, but I also have been slightly curious how it would be, since I’ve camped many times- just not by packing everything in on foot.  So, when she said it would be for only one night, AND we would have another gal along who had done it many times, I agreed! 

Well, two days before leaving, we had to pivot. 😅 Our ‘guide’ had a family emergency, and couldn’t go with us. So, our original plan for hiking the Blue Ridge Parkway had to be switched up a little, since we both knew nothing about it. We decided to add a little safety net and backpack into a primitive site at Jones Gap State Park instead. It was WONDERFUL! We camped beside a waterfall, and had the best time! 

Our backpacks were SLAM FULL. 😆 And we survived it! We all slept in hammocks. Well… I didn’t sleep real well actually because I FROZE (40ish degrees) even though I had on a short sleeve, a long sleeve, a sweat shirt, and a jacket all while inside a sleeping bag. 🤣🤦‍♀️ I definitely learned I need a hammock liner or something. 

Regardless, I would totally do it again! 🙌💜 So thankful for nature-loving friends!!!
