Bridal Portraits

Since Birdie is a true Charleston girl, we went downtown Charleston for her bridal portraits. We hit Waterfront Park, Rainbow Row, Water Street, the Battery, the old Charleston museum and several little off the beaten path streets and alleys. It was rather warm that day, but the photos turned out great!

Here are the ones I took:


You might notice that, when she was looking at me, the poses were a bit more...expressive. LOL


The pineapple fountain is at Waterfront Park---



Iron gates make a nice background---


Cobblestone streets are better for pictures than they are for cars---


Rainbow Row---





The Marilyn poses. Thanks to the wind which blew up strong and Birdie played right along.





And here are the professional shots:








I can't believe I can't find the photographer's site. He is the BIL of Bestie's hubby! We do try to keep as much as we can in the family. :)  Anyway, he lives in Wilmington, NC. Lucky for us, he has grandchildren right here in Charleston he loves to visit so we threw a bridal portrait shoot in the mix.

I'm getting to the end of these wedding posts, I promise! The next ones might be more writing than pictures but I'll incorporate some pix in here and there!

Thanks so much, y'all, for being so kind with your comments and patient with my pictures!

    I am so glad you are posting. I feel just like I was there, well sort of. :) Have a very nice three day weekend. School will be soon over. I bet you are looking forward to that. Any desks or bookcases in the future this year for your vacation?

  8. Kim- Thank you! I wish you had been here for real! I'll be so glad when summer break arrives- except for the heat, of course. LOL I think I'm so tired I might just sit down for two and a half months. Ha!

  9. Well, no disrespect, but your photos are just as good (if not better) than the professional ones. Seriously.

    I love, love, love the wedding dress. Said that before, but had to say it again.

    I'm not tired of wedding posts...keep them coming! What a wonderful time for you all!

  10. Terri- Thank you! I'm still waiting on the professional pix of the wedding. Hopefully those will be here soon. I have a couple of posts in the works, mostly words, but we've had a bit of a family emergency so they will come along ASAP. Thanks so much for sticking it out!
