Everytime we shoot a wedding in the mountains of South Carolina i am in awe that we have all this beauty right here in our backyard. We really are blessed living in Greenville,SC. We have the mountains about an hour away. The lake is under an hour away. The beach is a little over three hours away. We are halfway between Atlanta and Charlotte. All this and our city has an amazing downtown area and awesome city and county public parks. Once again i know you are saying where is he going with this. Well it means that we are blessed with AMAZING locations for our weddings!
Brad and Katrina’s wedding was no exception. Driving up Highway 11 to Table Rock lodge the air was so clear it felt like you could reach out and touch the mountains. It was a beautifully sunny day and mildly warm for summer in SC. From the beginning i knew this was going to be a great day.
When we arrived at Table Rock Lodge it was quickly evident that this was a great venue to have a wedding at. There was plenty of space for the bride and groom to get ready and lucky for us the light was gorgeous. After sessions outside with the bridesmaids , groomsmen and a few shots of Brad and his daughters we settled in for the wedding. Danielle Baker aka The Wedding Lady performed a beautiful ceremony complete with a hand-fasting. At one point during the ceremony Brad and Katrina presented each of Brad’s daughter with a rose.
The details at the reception were immaculate. I have to give Katrina props. She designed everything from the flowers to the candy bar and it all looked amazing! She even did the programs herself and i must say they were probably my favorite that i have seen all year.
After an afternoon of dancing, dining, and posing for pictures in our photobooth (a new add on for us) the guests capped it off with some impromptu cornhole matches on the back patio of the lodge.
We had a great time with Katrina, Brad, and their family and friends. Please enjoy some of our favorite shots from the day!
