Amy and Sean wanted their wedding to be on the sand at the beach, and the rain wasn’t go to stop them from doing just that.

We had the pleasure of photographing Rebekah and Korey’s military ceremony at Summerall Chapel.  This was a happy first for the studio in that, while Korey is a distinguished Marine, he is not an alumni of the Citadel — but Rebekah is attending Grad school there.  Summerall is of course one of our very favorite church settings in Charleston for photography, and the Citadel Beach House is one of the nicest (and well lit) venues that provide for both a beach reception and a large, in-door reception hall.

This classic couple was surrounded so many happy friends and family.  You could tell that their parents were so proud.  I love being around that sort of thing.

Stay tuned for the Full album to be posted later this week!

Summerall Chapel has some of the most elaborate stained glass in all of Charleston.

I think Korey is most proud of this one.

The clouds on this rainy weekend parted long enough for Duffy’s wedding on the Beach to turn out just as they were praying for (and they prayed a lot!).   Duffy Pew married Christopher Crapps (yes, it was the Pew-Crapps wedding, and they’ve heard every joke possible on the subject, so leave it alone) on October 11, 2008 on beautiful Hilton Head Island Beach at the Marriotte Resort and Spa.

The ladies got ready in the Honeymoon suite, which was huge, and offered some great opportunities for portraits.

The ceremony site offered all of the view and feel of getting married on the beach, without actually having to drag an expensive dress through the sand. Good pick for the ceremony site!

A sand ceremony is always a MUCH better idea for a beach wedding then a candle.

These two had such great expressions the whole day. You could tell they kinda liked each other.
