Jennifer Bearden Photography

This last weekend, I traveled to Portland, OR to photograph Jared and Natalie’s wedding.  They were married at St Patrick’s Church with a reception following at the Governor Hotel.  What a beautiful (and cold) weekend!  After the ceremony we had some time to stop in a few places around Portland to take some pictures.  We stopped at the tree in Pioneer Square- where they got engaged!  Thank you Nat and Jared for having me out to Portland to share this event with you, I enjoyed every minute!  Cheers to Natalie and Jared!

Today I met with Lindsay and Bryan for their engagement session.  The parade was happening at the same time downtown, but we found some great spots that were not on the parade route.  One of the places we went was down to the swings at Waterfront park–where they had their first date!  Today was awesome, we walked all over and Lindsay and Bryan were so fun to photograph!  I can’t wait for the wedding this summer!

Yesterday at 3:30pm at New Cut Plantation Jennifer and Josh were married.  When Jennifer and Josh planned their wedding, they wanted to have one that they and their guests would all enjoy.  I think they did a great job, because it looked like everyone had a blast!  There were oysters (Crazy Dutchman catering did such a wonderful job-www.crazydutchmancatering.com), great music (Chris Dorsal played so many fun songs), beer and even a television in the tent so everyone could see the Clemson game.  The rain cleared out and turned into a crisp clear sky–perfect for the fireworks they secretly planned.  There was even a “hula-hoop off” which was a first for me!  Cheers to Jennifer and Josh!

Also this week, I photographed Jack, Charlie and Lola.  Here are some from our session:

‘Tis the season– for holiday family photos!  This morning I photographed Courtney and Bill and their three boys.  How impressed was I when I showed up at 8:30 she had all the boys dressed and ready to go!  They have a really cool tree right up the street from them and we used that in some of their photos.  Here are a few from today:
