Aww, nothing better than photographing a wedding for clients that deserve the very best. I had the great honor of being referred to Valerie Lassere by Younesse the catering Mgr for the Charleston Marriott, she and her lovely sister showed up at my studio for a consultation, they were looking for not just another Charleston Wedding photographer, but someone who could create a work of art, someone who would photograph images that no one in town does, memories with that artistic touch, after the meeting, the minute I received a hug from both of them, I knew it was a done deal. This wedding was going to be like no other, 11 groomsmen, 6 bridesmaids and over 150 guest, family and friends, my type of wedding. We, Donavan my cinematic videographer and I offered one of our top Collection to capture everything. Well, we did all of that, and much, much more.
“The color scheme was Pewter, Ivory, Teal, and Tangerine, the bride wore an amazing dress by Steven Veil, her shoes by Jimmy Choo. Maid of Honor was Sarita Kennedy, Best Man was Leroy Buncomb Jr. The ceremony was outdoors then we moved to the spectacular Crystal ballroom, everyone enjoyed both a DJ and a fantastic band by Rob White:
Here from the Bride on how this became their day: ” Eric and I met at North Charleston High School after our first date of over 30 years later we developed a friendship that quickly blossomed beyond best friends to love. He proposed in the Spring of 2011. We always knew we wanted a destination outdoor wedding with close friends and family. We chose Marriott Resort because of the location, ambiance, and the friendly and professional staff particularly the Catering Sales Manager, Younesse Alami who made all the difference and extended himself far beyond our expectations. The other part of the wonderful experience can be witnessed by the stunning photography from Michel Berda, we hope you enjoy and consider their services.”
