Charleston Portrait Photographer, Charleston Wedding Photographer, Reese Allen Photography

We had a chance to meet The Arnold’s on their recent trip to Isle of Palms for their annual event and capture some unique Charleston family portraits.  They spend every Thanksgiving here and have a running contest similar to the Iron Chef; which, I was told by the guys that they always win?

We had a lot of fun creating something unique family photography for them-especially after I found out the search words for finding a local photographer were: “quirky portrait photographer”!  I am not sure if it is a good thing, but they liked our style and we had a blast with the final concept.  It also makes me think of adding other keywords or even doing an AdWords campaign with the terms: crazy, nuts, eclectic, etc.?

We are looking forward to having them back in Mount Pleasant for next years family portraits, but this time I think we’ll have to stay for dinner!

Maggie and Drew tied the knot at Alhambra Hall on August 4th.   With so many downtown weddings under our belt, this was our first at Alhambra Hall in Mount Pleasant.  While we could wax poetic about their amazing families and friends, we think that seeing the pictures will tell the whole story of this beautiful wedding.  We wanted to share this one in it’s entirety so we hope you enjoy the slideshow.  There was a record number of “keepers” from the event-over 3,000 final images.

A special thanks to all the professional talented colleagues who made the day an awesome experience for our team; of course, a big shout out to Rod and Tara at Red Shutter Studio for being awesome!

Wedding Cooordinator: Connie from Synders was everywhere and made the day go on without a single hitch!  It is great working with professionals and as MOB says, ” Connie took multi-tasking to a whole new level”!  http://www.snydereventrentals.com/

Catering:  Low Country Eats- Elaine made it difficult to photograph food because everything looked so delicious it was hard not to sneak a bite.  This was one of the most beautiful presentations of food we have seen in a long time.  But more important, the food tasted amazing-thanks for feeding the team like royalty.  http://www.lowcountryeats.com/

Wedding Cake- Amy from Village Bakery-one word, delicious!!!!  http://www.dinewithsal.com/village

Floral:  Paula from By the Bunch- You can see the unique and perfectly accented arrangements in all the photos.   Mom loved the lavender roses worn by the guys and even more she had nothing but praise for Paula’s ability to “figure out what you want and express it with flowers”.  Great work.  http://www.buythebunch.net/

Band: Mike and the Mixers-Rocked the House.  They can play everything note for note.  The bride and groom were both theater majors so I am sure this was an unusual and eclectic mix of songs.  I heard everything from from Gershwin (I think that’s who it was) to the Commodores, “Brick House”.  It is easy taking pictures when the dance floor is “off the chain”-Thanks Mike!  http://www.mikeandthemixers.com/
