Yesterday’s wedding was one of the most photographically awesome weddings I have shot in a long time - mainly because they gave me free reign over the entire day! Charity and Richard live in Georgia, but came out for a private ceremony on the beach with just the two of them, the officiant, a guitar player, and me. Normally people doing small ceremonies like this only want a photographer for an hour or two, but these two hired me for 6 hours!

We had so much fun doing portraits on the beach, then they did a first dance at the tide pools. They hired an acoustic guitarist to play a version of Bon Jovi’s “Born to be my baby” which was so cool. After a quick stop at Starbucks and Arby’s for lunch (you gotta love a bride who has Arby’s for her wedding lunch!) we then went to their hotel so they could cut their adorable mini cake shaped like a Tiffany’s ring box. Not only were they really fun people, but I got to take so many great pictures since the whole day was about the photos! I pride myself on being able to capture great photos at any wedding, no matter what the schedule….but I have to say it was nice to have that kind of freedom!
