Diana and Jimmy were married at the Gassaway Mansion in Greenville, SC. Diana looked amazing and Jimmy couldn't have looked happier. It was a terrific day.
Here's a quick peek and I promise more later.
Mike and Kathleen will be getting married next year, so it was time to do some engagement photos. I'll post more next week, but their session was fantastic. We went all over Columbia, including Wiliams-Brice Stadium. What a really cool and wonderful couple. I don't know that I've laughed more, I can't wait for the wedding. Here's a sneak peek......
PAALS (Palmetto Animal Assisted Life Services) is a wonderful organization and one that I get to, from time to time, help out by updating their photography.
Last week I met Tate and his Yellow Lab, Grace. While Grace is still training, she and Tate will graduate soon. She can open and close doors, turn on and off light switches, retreive practically anything and distinguish between a cell phone and a cordless phone and the list really does go on and on. She will help Tate, who suffered an aneurism that left him paralyzed on his left side. I also met Jeff and his Labradoodle, Ginger. She takes comands from Jeff, who uses a computer to speak.
Below are some photos of their most recent training, including some portraits of Tate and Jeff with their moms and dogs. If you'd like to learn more about PAALS or how to volunteer or donate, please go to www.paals.org.
Every year Bride Magazine and WPJA (Wedding Photojournalist Association) partner together for a contest. I was delighted that I took a 9th place in the "Getting Ready" category. I am excited to have cracked the top 10 in this international contest. Don't worry, it won't go to my head, seeing as how I was beaten out by a poodle!
Many thanks to Pam and Milton who had a terrific wedding at the Seibels' house in Columbia, S.C. and this is the SECOND time that I won for a picture that I made at their wedding! They are a wonderful couple. Below is the winning photo and the judge's coments and if you'd like to see the other winners you can by clicking on this link.
