Ana-Klara & Stephen ~ Wedding

A little while back, I second shot a beautiful wedding with my friend Star at The Ribault Club. Little did I know I'd be swept away by the love and beauty of an amazing couple, Ana-Klara and Stephen, and their sweet family. I'm so blessed to have been a part of such a special day.

Here are some of my favorites :)

The Robot!! YES!!

Never ending pile of film

While looking at the MANY rolls of undeveloped color and b&w film...I pulled some negatives from my "archives" that I developed in my darkroom. I don't have many pulled up for you right now, but three I thought were cool. I do have more of the pow-wow from a couple years ago to post so I'm excited about that. Part 2 :)

I hope these come out well. I'm not sure how to scan them larger than they are pulling in. Any suggestions? 

This one is some band that came on before Susans band..O yeah...she's in a band *grin* but that's another post :) heeheheheeee

I think this band is Barely Pink...

This is Ballys in Las Vegas. Susan and I went on a "learning conference" with our job when we worked in travel. I have more of this too but not sure what rolls they're on. 

And I'm not sure where this was taken. I'll have to mess with the rest of the roll to see, but I'm not even sure if I took it here in FL. Could have been OK. 

I love the color. None of these were photoshoped. I love it!!!

I'm inspired now to pull out my AE-1 and take pics on film..but what are my chances of developing it???

"Hey, do me a favor..."

Krystal and Stuart met during their freshmen year at Clemson University in '00. While each were out with their own group of friends one night, they struck up a conversation at the bar at Monterrey's Mexican Restaurant, a popular local nite spot. Sparks FLEW! They became instant friends and after college, became a SMOKING HOT couple.

Fast forward to '08. One night they headed out for happy hour at one of their fave spots, Snapper Jacks, and then take a stroll on Folly Beach. They enjoyed a nice evening of drinks & food on the rooftop bar, having a great time. Krystal loves photography so she brought along her new camera, and was itching to go shoot away down at the beach. But Stuart had a plan. He knew she'd be oblivious to his surprise while she was preoccupied snapping pictures. They goofed off, played and had a great time, all the while heading to the pier for Stuarts big move. As they casually walked, his arm around her shoulders he say's "Hey, do me a favor.." as he always does, and as she turned, he was down on one knee, with a BEAUTIFUL ring in his hand! Of course..she said yes!

I met Krystal at my 9-5'er. Susan and I got to meet Stuart shortly after and we LOOOOVE them! They are the most compassionate, loving and wonderful people we have ever met. We shot their engagement session in two parts. The first was to get a picture of them for their Save The Date cards, which were needed A.S.A.P. We shot downtown and it became a overcast, cold day. We ran out of daylight rather quickly. The second part, a few weeks ago, was shot in St. Augustine. Neither had really spent time there so it was fun taking them around Flagler, The Old Fort and through St. George street. The charm of the Ol Town fit these two. Susan and I had a HARD time picking a few...so we picked a TON!

We are SO excited for your Charleston Wedding in June guys!!! WE miss you and see you soon!
Love
Chris & Susan
