Alyssa & Danny | Moncks Corner, SC Wedding | Chris

When I met Alyssa and Danny for their Attraction Session before dawn in Las Vegas, I was immediately blown away by their gorgeousness and super fun go-for-it attitudes! Well, their engagement images did not disappoint as you can see here Alyssa & Danny | Attraction Session | Las Vegas, NV | Chris AND I was super pumped for their wedding.

When I arrived in Charleston, South Carolina for their wedding, I was excited to cross off another state in my 50 States by 2015 goal, but also Charleston is often selected as the top destination wedding locations in the world and I absolutely can see why. The people are so welcoming and friendly and the architecture and history of the area is phenomenally unique.

Alyssa’s bridesmaids (and friends) are stunningly beautiful. True story. And believe it or not, they were an absolute blast all day! Danny’s groomsmen were ridiculously fun and goofy. And Alyssa and Danny’s families were so welcoming and hospitable that I felt like one of their cherished guests.

Thank you again so much for selecting La Brisa for your wedding day! I wish you the very best in your new life together and I hope you absolutely LOVE your wedding images!

A little moonshine before the festivities begin!

One of my favorite wedding moments ever. After walking down the aisle and seeing each other for the first time, Grandma Florence and Grandma Sharon, realized that they were wearing identical outfits! Hilarity ensued!

Danny’s reaction after seeing Alyssa for the first time.

They committed their lives to each other under a sun-kissed wedding ceremony.

Incredibly sweet moment during the mother-son dance

South Carolinians know how to DANCE!

One of the best garter removals I have ever seen. True story.

Kristen & Bret | Wedding | La Selva Beach, CA | b & Chris

Kristen and Bret’s wedding was absolutely phenomenal! B and I traveled back to my hometown in preparation of their beautiful wedding overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Kristen’s parents’ home has a hallway filled with family and school portraits and it was a perfect backdrop to showcase her beautiful dress!

Growing up, Kristen would look out the front door of her parents’ house and envision getting married right at this spot. During the ceremony, b drove over to Kristen’s parents’ house to create this image of Kristen’s childhood dream.

During the father-daughter dance, I love this moment and look from Kristen’s mother.

Bret is quite the dancer…

…And I am quite sure that he received those skills from his parents!

A little light painting to end the evening…

And of course, the newlyweds with the La Brisa team!
