We’re Moving – Seriously!!??!!

So I’ll give a brief explanation to this, but yes, it’s true, we’re moving!!

BUT NOT FAR.

Next week, both me and my two adorable little girls are moving from Augusta, GA to Lexington, SC (which is just outside of Columbia, SC).  It’s only about an hour from Augusta, so it’s not too far from where I’ve lived my entire 31 years.

So here’s a little story behind the move.  Approximately two and a half years ago, my mom decided to take a job and move away from us.  Mom could have been promoted long before that, but she choose to stay in Augusta, close to family, and raise me and a little brother and sister and see that we all finished high school.  Thanks Mom, the sacrifices you’ve made for us, are unmeasurable and will always be remembered.  Back to the story.  She moved with the bank, but it wasn’t she’d be living in Atlanta or Charlotte, oh no, she and Dad and sister we’re moving to Syracuse, NY.  Freakin Syracuse.  Far, far away.  While I didn’t necessarily like this, I knew it’s what Mom wanted to do to further her career.  We all really missed having her around while she was there.  She worked with the bank to only work in Syracuse for 2 years then try to find something closer to us in the South.

Two years passed, a low and behold her time was up and the bank had found Mom a job closer to us.  The new position would be in Columbia, SC.  Only an hour away.  HALLELUJAH!  So once Mom and Dad had found a house in Lexington, SC, I knew it was time to move.  I’ve always been close to my Mom.  She’s a savvy businesswoman, has a huge heart for helping and developing people.  She is just an awesome person to talk to (plus her cooking rocks).

So, starting next Tuesday, March 30, 2010, Lawrence Kent Photography will be moving from Augusta, GA to Lexington, SC.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

1.  Starting Tuesday, March 30, 2010, I’ll be closed for moving and setting up the business in Lexington, SC.  I will be closed until April 13, 2010.  During that time, I will very limited access to the internet.  I will be checking email from my iPhone throughout the day and will try to respond in the evenings.  Please bare with me during this transition.
2.  I will no longer live in Augusta, Georgia.  I will live in Lexington, South Carolina.
3.  I will continue to be available for weddings, Georgia weddings, South Carolina weddings, wedding everywhere.

WHAT THIS DOES NOT MEAN?

1.  I have not sold my business, portraits OR weddings. I have not gone OUT of business. I have not quit photography.
2.  I have not stopped taking wedding commissions.
3.  I have not dropped off of the face of the earth.

I am very excited about what is to come and thank you for allowing me to explain the move and what it meansand what this means to my clientele. Many exciting things are coming soon such as a new portfolio, new look, and general spring-cleaning of our online presence.

Early Spring Wedding – Amanda and Steve – Part 1

I was so proud to shoot this weekend for Amanda and Steve.  Not because they were both just awesome clients and genuinely in love but because both serve in our Armed Forces.  Amanda serves our country based out of Tennessee and Steve serves in North Carolina and when they return from their honeymoon (in Spain – no fair!!) they will return to their separate bases.  In May (which is just a short time away) Amanda is getting deployed to Afghanistan.  They are trying to work it to where Steve will also get deployed close to where Amanda will be, but nothing has come up yet.

Their wedding was absolutely beautiful.  Very small and intimate with close family and friends.  The entire day was very laid and flowed smoothly.  The weather totally cooperated for us.  Mild temperatures in the high 60′s and very little breeze.

To Amanda and Steve – thank you so for letting me share in your day and help make the memories to share with you and everyone.

Also, be sure to sign up to be notified of when the remaining images are posted online.  Click here to SIGN UP!! Below are several images from their wedding day.  I had so many excellent I wanted to share, so the images will be broken up into two different parts.  Here’s Part 1!

Rainy Engagement Session – Caroline & Jason

Oh Mother Nature, how you toy with us.  Last week, I had an engagement session scheduled for a late afternoon.  The weather seemed beautiful all day, until I had to leave for my engagement session.  Needless to say, the skies opened up and delivered a constant stream of H2O.  Caroline and Jason had scheduled our engagement session to be here a farm just outside of Waynesboro, GA.  The property was massive, with a huge main house, separate cookhouse, lake, shooting range and probably many more things I didn’t see.

Despite the weather, we managed to stay dry and find places with beautiful light around the property.  I can’t imagine what we could have done if it hadn’t rained.

Below are several of the images from that day.  If you’d like to be notified by email when the rest of the images are released online, please click here and send in your information.

ENJOY!!

Downtown Augusta Wedding – Carrie & Jamie

Jamie and Carrie wedding this past Saturday was beautiful.  Even though the weather threatened for just a bit, it quickly passed by and we all had a beautiful day.  A few of the highlights of the day were the classic Chevy they had to escort them to the reception.  The other was that they held their reception at the new Palmetto Terrace in North Augusta (which I hadn’t shot at yet).  Below are some of my favorites from their day.

In case, you missed their engagement session, click here.
