Hilton Head Island Wedding

I have had a few really beautiful weddings lately in and around Hilton Head Island, SC.
Last weekend I photographed an absolutely amazing couple at a large beachside estate in Palmetto Dunes Resort on Hilton Head Island. The weather was perfect and family had flown in from all over the United States and Europe. The bride, Olga was from Russia and her mother flew all the way to America to see her daughters big day.

The wedding ceremony itself was held right out on the beach, followed by a festive reception at the large estate. I shot over 1000 images throughout the day. Here are a couple that I really love. I will have more posted on my website in the coming weeks. Please take a look at them.

Strainephotography prides itself on extremely unique, photo-journalistic style wedding photography. These two images will give you a good idea of the type of imagery you can expect should you decide to have me photograph your wedding. Please give me a call to discuss your event.

I still have a few remaining spring dates and several dates open this winter.

California Wildfires

I feel so horrible for all those people in southern California who have to evacuate their homes. Can you even imagine that? My ex-girlfriend had her whole home burn down when she was around ten years old and she lost just about everything. She said it took her years and years to come to grips with what happened.

Catastrophic events like this truly put things in perspective. It is difficult to complain about anything when across the nation half a million peoples lives are about to change forever.

Just think about what you have in just your bedroom and imagine losing all of it at once. Pretty scary huh?

Lets all take a moment to be happy with what we have.

October and November are shaping up to be really busy months for me.

When I first moved down to Hilton Head Island from Vermont I did not think about the fact that it is relatively nice here almost year around. I am used to snow in the middle of October straight through to the end of May. No one gets married in Vermont, well hardly anyone, gets married in Vermont during these cold months.

Down in South Carolina it is certainly a different story. I have almost every weekend booked through November and into December. Some of these weddings are going to be extremely exciting.

I am really looking foreword to October 20th when I will be photographing a wedding at a private beach cottage on Hilton Head Island. A lot of planning is going into making this wedding amazing. I am really looking foreword to it.

I will be certain to post some photos from it on the blog. I still need to get some pics up from my last camping trip to the North Carolina Mountains. I will.

I wanted to make sure to get a link to myspace account here. In addition to weddings, I also do a lot of Rock Band Photography. I have much of my musical side presented here.
