Caroline & Jon (Images)

Last month I had the chance to photograph a beautiful early morning wedding in Charleston. This laid back couple chose to have a 10:30 AM ceremony at the Woodlands Inn, followed by an intimate brunch. I'm so thankful that they invited me to document such a classic event.

Natalie & Phil Engagement

I've often wondered who Ashley's sister, Natalie, would settle down with. Ashley and Natalie are extremely close and I always hoped that he would be someone who I genuinely wanted to hang out with, not just tolerated. I also hoped it would be someone who adored Nat and understood how beautiful she truly is.
Enter Phil Markham. Phil was an exchange student from Australia who came over to study Theology at a local seminary (Beeson Divinity School). Phil and I quickly became friends and colleagues when he started attending our church and soon after started assisting me at weddings last summer. We took several trips across the southeast, which meant we spent tons of time in a car picking each other's brains about work, family, God, etc. I loved his curiosity and sense of awe for life and people. In the back of my mind, I always wanted to connect him with Natalie. Last Fall, the two of them began hanging out (with slight influence from Ash and me) and by May they decided they wanted to spend their lives together.
I'm so honored that I'm now able to call Phil my brother. He is such a perfect fit for Natalie and our family.
I will be photographing their wedding next month. Here's a session I did with them a few weeks ago, where he proposed.
Enjoy!

Beth & Nathan Super 8

Beth & Nathan Super 8 from A Bryan Photo on Vimeo.

Ah, the power of online social networking... Beth and I were friends when we were in 7th grade and became reacquainted recently through Facebook. She and Nathan got married on June 5th and invited me along to shoot their Super 8 in Key West, Florida. My wife Lindsey came along as my lovely assistant.

Lately, I've been taking my Lomo and Holga with me to weddings. I find they fit well with the style of Super 8 and the auto exposures keep the shooting simple.

Enjoy a beautiful sunny beach wedding and one of the best first dances you're likely to see at a wedding.
