I live in Columbia, South Carolina and I absolutely love wedding photography and portrait photography.

I think Greg and Jessie have to be one of the funniest couples we have taken pictures of. They are really fun to be around and sometimes I was laughing too hard to take pictures. One of my favorite lines was “Look those two guys are friends… on a date!” and “You should get your wife to jump up and down to make me laugh.”

Greg and Jessie are getting Married in September and the wedding sounds awesome! Here are some of my favorite pictures from the engagement session at the State House.

Greg didn’t know where to put his hands… lol.

Greg looks like he belongs in the movie 300… and Jessie makes a great smiling statue, but statues never smile.

Jason and Nikki had their wedding at the Magnolia House in Lexington. The weather was beautiful and the wedding was awesome. Larry from Capital City Entertainment was the DJ and played the music for the whole day.
Jason is the only groom I’ve met who was more relaxed on his wedding day than at the engagement session. One of my favorite parts of the day was listening to the girls putting on their make-up… they were hilarious.
Here are some of our favorite shots from the day. You can see an album design with more pictures by clicking here.

Nikki and Greg got married at Lake Wateree in Ridgeway SC. The forecast was calling for rain, but the day turned out to be great. It rained some, but for the most part, everyone stayed dry, and things went smoothly.
We had lots of fun at their wedding, and I did something I’ve never done before… I ate broccoli casserole. The food was great. Nikki and Greg… I hope your move went perfectly and I hope things are great in Texas. I’ll be sending you a link with the rest of your photos this weekend.

The pictures took me a little longer than expected to edit, and there are still more to come later (the ones Ashley took), but this is the bulk of the photos from their wedding. Samantha and Josh’s photos.

We have known Jaime (aka Tootles) and Danny for a while now, and we got to take some engagement pictures with them last week. It was a little intimidating taking pictures of them because Danny is a photographer who knows much more about photography than I do. He does mostly commercial and fine art photography, and has some really cool stuff on his website.

I was experimenting with a different lens than normal, so I lost some of the shots I took, but I think we got at least a few cool photos of them. Ashley did awesome and actually took some of my favorite photos from this session.

Here are the photos I liked the most.

Ashley took this picture…

And this one… right after Jamie stuck her finger in Danny’s ear. Apparently its a thing they do… and I was told to watch out when you’re around them or you might get a finger in your ear too.

Ashley took this photo as well… isn’t she getting good?

Well, I finally got to go through the entire process of engagement through wedding with a couple!  Samantha and Josh came to me last year and we were able to take some awesome engagement photos.  They decided to book me for their wedding, which finally rolled around May 2nd.

Their wedding was very unique.  I have to say it was one of my favorite weddings that I have attended.  The bridal party and Samantha walked in to the song “Before the Throne of God” (the Shane and Shane version) and it has been stuck in my head all week!  The ceremony was very intimate and everything went smoothly.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the day… there will be plenty more coming next week.  If you were a bridesmaid or groomsmen (or flowergirls parents) please contact me for a coupon for a free photo.

This was Josh’s face when he first saw Samantha. They decided to meet before the ceremony started, and the next two pictures are their first embrace on the wedding day.

During the ceremony, the bridal party laid hands on Josh and Samantha to pray for their new life together.

Finally!

More pictures will be up by next Friday at http://www.coreypotter.com/photocart.

I am SOO excited about the weddings I’ll be shooting this summer.  Josh and Samantha are getting married tomorrow, and I’m getting ready to go to their rehersal dinner.  It seems like just yesterday when we shot their engagement session!

I’ve changed my website around a little, and I’m working on a totally new design (simple, but efficient).  Keep checking back for new pictures of weddings, starting with Josh and Samantha this week!

Tara and Tim are getting married in August. We had fun taking some fun engagement photos with them around town here in Columbia. Here are a few of my favorites…
