I mentioned yesterday that throughout this Summer we reworked our philosophy, style, and what we offer. Much centers around this new addition, the Wedding Slide Show. Already extremely popular on many of our bride's Facebook pages, the musical show now comes with very package we offer, no matter the price range. Here's a couple of samples:

Shannon & Randy's Wedding

Nicole & Brandon's Wedding

There's more. We improved and simplified our pricing structure so you get more from your investment and can tailor you package as you see fit. Please check our What We Offer Page for new updates.

In the coming days we will get into our new shooting and editing philosophy, which will encompass new offerings while melding with the importance and traditions of picture selection. These are important steps. We are confident that our more than 30 years in documentary and editorial photography will blend what our brides treasure, both tradition and the unexpected. Thank you for your time.

Rain didn't dampen spirits of Nicole and Brandon's wedding, which was held "outside" yesterday at Duncan Estate in Spartanburg. Under the Big Tent out back Nicole and Brandon exchanges vows and partied the evening away, except for a few relished moments getting all wet.

A few days ago brides Julie and Aubrey helped break in our new studio, located at 12 Rutherford Road, just a few blocks from downtown Greenville. Shared with a consortium of photographers, David Crosby, Kelly Brogdon, and George Reynolds, the studio features 14-foot ceilings and wonderfully aged brick walls.

 And like I said, Julie and Aubrey were a great help, as you can see from just a few shots from our session, at the stduio, which we affectionally call "High Noon."

As we move into the Wedding Season, there is advice I still take to heart. A lot is from mentors in the business yet the greatest insight transcends in the industry. Here is a few:

"Price is what you pay; value is what you get."

"When the choice is between quality and price, choose quality."

"Experience is earned, not taught."

"Ability always makes a difference."

"Ability is achieved only through practice, practice, practice."

"Storytelling with images is different from taking pictures."

...to all the folks who stopped by to visit our booth at the January and February Upstate Wedding Festivals. Mona and I enjoyed talking with all the brides and family members in attendance. Despite a little rain and some chilly weather the crowds were quite large, especially at the Carolina First Center. This is our last festival until the Fall season so we look forward to hearing from those who dropped by and spent time with us. Thanks again.
