Charlotte Ashley

Second Shooter | Columbia, South Carolina

Weddings

30 Jun

About a month ago, I had the privilege to second shoot for the Storyteller himself, a wedding photographer out of Highlands, NC.  Well… actually third shoot!  🙂  By the time I returned his phone call to scream with excitement that YES I would love to work with him, the second shooter position had been filled.  *Big pouty lip*  However, after our phone conversation of generally just getting to know one another (or more so, me picking his wedding photographer mind. Thanks Charles!) he decided that having a third shooter might not be a bad idea for this wedding!  🙂  So… off to Columbia I ventured; and through it all, met two other awesome photographers!  One from Charlotte, NC and one from Charleston, SC.  It was most definitely a networking venture for me; I luuuve meeting new folks that share the same passion that I do! And because I didn’t want the bride and groom to feel like they had the paparazzi after them, I focused mainly on the detail shots from the day; and worked the background with the 70-200mm zooming in on the action of what was happening between poses with the other photographers.  Here are a few from the day!  Thanks again to The Storyteller, Charles Bordner, for allowing me to represent his business!

A few pictures from today! These boys had a great day at the high school division Phantom Open on Lake Murray representing the PAC Panthers! This was a state-wide tournament and there were around 150 teams total. They came home with 5th place- a 5-fish limit bag weighing 21.47lbs!

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!
