Nichole + Chip

I met Chip and Nichole at a surprise party for one of our mutual friends at a winery in Augusta last year, and I was elated when they asked me to shoot their wedding! Nicole did such a fantastic job with the details of her event, which was held at one of my very favorite places, the Sheldon Concert Hall.  

Warning: lots of pics contained in this post.  Call me indecisive, but I just couldn't narrow down my favorites. 

Cool cake shot by my ever-talented Jon. 

The venue had such amazing light and detail.

Final preparation for the lovely Nichole.

Jon grabbed this shot while the girls were getting ready.  We LOVE the Sheldon.  And check out that sunflare.  Yeah, you've learned well, grasshopper :). 

Adorable flower girl. 

One of the cool things about this wedding was that they had a bluegrass band play for part of the ceremony.  And, as coincidence would have it, this was the very band we heard at the winery the day I met Chip and Nichole!  I snagged this shot while the band was rehearsing. 

how awesome is the sheldon?

Chip's parents were so happy :). I grabbed a ton of shots of them exchanging smiles while the bride and groom said their vows. 

they actually "tied the knot"

Another shot by Jon.  

Perfect window for a silhouette. 

After it got dark, we headed just down the street to shoot in front of the Fox.  And it was our lucky day because the road in front of the theatre, which is usually a very busy street, was shut down temporarily because of an event that was held earlier that day.  So we literally had the whole street to ourselves. 

Have you ever seen Grand St. this quiet?  We sure did get there at a perfect time! Just a few minutes after we finished shooting, the street was opened back up. 

First dance

And I had to include one of Jon, shot with my new fisheye lens.  He's talented and a looker.  I am one lucky chica :).
