Cleveland Park Wedding – Julia + TC – Spartanburg SC Wedding Photographers
We had a gorgeous Spring day for Julia and TC’s wedding. The flowers were already in bloom making it a beautiful setting for their Cleveland Park wedding in Spartanburg,SC. We started off the morning at the Spartanburg Marriott where we met the bride and the bridesmaids to shoot some shots of Julia’s amazing dress and shoes and some of the girls getting ready. I must say the light in her hotel room was amazing. We had fun hanging out with the girls and Julia’s brother (and Man of Honor) Billy. After taking a really cool shot of them toasting some mimosas it was off to Cleveland Park.
We arrived at Cleveland Park to meet TC and the guys and get setup for the first look. We are seeing more and more couples do a first look and I absolutely love it. Not only does it make the day flow so much smoother but it gives them a private moment with each other before the wedding. Every couple that we have done first looks for have expressed how much it relaxed them and how glad they were that they did it. After a beautiful first look at the gazebo in Cleveland Park we took some family photos and then got to spend time with the bridal party. These guys were a lot of fun. They were down for any creative different shots that we wanted to do. I especially loved the shots of the guys holding the girls flowers, the bridesmaids movie re-creation, and a very cool shot with all the bridesmaids (and Man of Honor) holding chalkboards with the first time each had met Julia.
After a beautiful ceremony by Julia’s brother Bruce it was time for the reception. The reception could not have been more perfect. After dining on some of the best BBQ I have had in quite some time (seriously it was really good) the guests watched as the couple was toasted by Daniel (the Best Man), Billy (The Man of Honor), and an awesome toast/rap by Brittany (the Matron of Honor). From there the guest danced the night away. I absolutely love some of the dancing pics from this wedding. You can totally see what a great time the guest were having. I also have to give a shout out to Ashlyn for doing an awesome job with the coordinating and to Tyler for a great job keeping the music going.
We had such a great time being able to capture this amazing event! Thanks Julia and TC for letting us be a part of your big day! Please enjoy some of my favorite shots of the day.
