Savannah Rapids Wedding: Queta & Fitzgerald

Lawrence Kent — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 23:55:19 +0000

I have been fortunate this January with weddings. The weather has been absolutely outstanding and Queta and Fitzgerald was no exception. The ceremony and reception were held at Savannah Rapids Pavilion in Augusta, Georgia. All the family and friends did a fantastic job getting everything setup in the short amount of time we had. It’s such a blessing to see everyone come together for such a momentous occasion.

It was evident of Fitzgerald’s love for Queta by the happiness that he shone as she walked down the aisle with her father. After a beautiful ceremony, we took the time to shoot portraits of the bride and groom around the grounds of the pavilion and canal area. With the skies being overcast, it made perfect light to get breath-taking photos of the new couple.

The reception was stunning. All of the decorations were gorgeous. Everyone did such a wonderful job setting it all up. Some of the best memories were of Fitzgerald and Queta dancing together. I could instantly see their love for each other.

To Queta and Fitzgerald – thank you for allowing me to be a part of your wedding day. Both of you have great families. It was certainly evident at your wedding. I wish both of you the best in the future.

Here are several of my favorites from their wedding and reception. ENJOY!!!

Mardi Gras Themed Wedding: Laurie & Tony

Lawrence Kent — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:38:22 +0000

Laurie and Tony’s wedding this Saturday was nothing short of awesome. It was my second wedding of the year. Normally winter weddings in January are cold and dreary. This wedding would turn out to be the complete opposite. With the weather being very mild and sunny, everything turned out wonderful and meant we’d be able to shoot some of the portraits outdoors.

I started with the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner at Crums in Augusta, Georgia, where Laurie surprised Tony with a Tabasco bottle cake for his birthday. He was completely amazed and the cake looked fantastic. They also passed out some special chocolates to each guest from a bakery in New Orleans, Sucré. The chocolates were out of this world.

We started the day at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church in North Augusta, South Carolina where the ceremony would be held. Laurie looked absolutely fabulous in her gown as she walked down the aisle to an awaiting Tony who was clearly thrilled to see her.

With Tony and most of his family being from New Orleans, their reception at the River Room at St. Paul’s Methodist Church in downtown Augusta, Georgia had a Mardi Gras theme. It was simply spectacular. From the décor to the music to the food, everything had a Mardi Gras / New Orleans flare.

Laurie and Tony – how can I say thank you? Both of you are amazing, kind, and kind people and being a part of your wedding was a pleasure. Your wedding and reception was truly amazing. Both of you did a wonderful job. Thank you allowing us to be a small part of day. I’m so lucky to have such a great client as you two.

And to Laurie – thank you so much for the chocolate chip and pumpkin cookies. They are absolutely the best! And chewy, which is my favorite. Thank you.

First Baptist Church Wedding: Marsha & Michael – Part I

Lawrence Kent — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 21:06:10 +0000

After a long engagement the day had finally arrived. Marsha and Michael’s wedding took place at First Baptist Church of Augusta, and can I say the day was nothing less than perfection. The church is absolutely gorgeous. From the ceremony to the reception all the details were mapped out and put together to create this exquisite day and make a spectacular wedding for such a great couple.

The weather was absolutely perfect for this time of year. From the start of the day with mild but pleasant temperatures to the moon in the sky at dusk. I can say that the weather could not have been any better for a wedding.

The Wedding party was such a great group to work with. It was such a pleasure working with you all. It was such a pleasure to be invited on your special day to help capture all the special moments that will be cherished for a lifetime. Thank you for sharing your day with me. You are such a wonderful couple and I wish you the best of luck for the future.

Below are several of my favorites from the day. Stay tuned for Part II of the wedding day. If you missed Marsha’s bridal session, click here to see those.

Hammond’s Ferry Engagement – LaQueta & Fitzgerald

Lawrence Kent — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 19:52:11 +0000

What a perfect day to have LaQueta and Fitzgerald’s Engagement pictures. The weather was absolutely exquisite and the location was nothing less than perfect.

We spent the session walking around Hammond’s Ferry in North Augusta enjoying all the different scenery that it had to offer, and might I add that Fitzgerald did a terrific job “working” the camera. I can tell that this is going to be a memorable wedding. With the wedding date set for January 15th at Savannah Rapids Pavilion the day is steadily approaching and I am sure that this one will be the highlight of the New Year.

Here are a few of my favorites.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Augusta Country Club Wedding – Lindsey & Russ – Part 2

Lawrence Kent — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 19:25:33 +0000

Welcome to Part Two of Lindsey and Russ’ spectacular wedding. After the wedding all the guests headed over to the reception held at the wonderful Augusta Country Club, and can I say that the venue was decorated nothing less than amazing. Lindsey’s creativity shown so bright and every detail was done to perfection. Lindsey did a marvelous job with everything, and to me one of the most memorable events of the evening was the Father-Daughter dance where Lindsey and her Father danced to a customized version of the Waltz. The Father of the Bride did such a wonderful job for the wedding. You can tell that Lindsey is the apple of his eye. What a beautiful evening!!

Augusta Country Club Wedding: Lindsey & Russ – Part 1

Lawrence Kent — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 02:48:59 +0000

Lindsey and Russ’ wedding was my last for 2011 and was nothing less than spectacular. Lindsey had everything planned out beautifully from the exquisite food to the gorgeous venue. Most of the day was spent at the Augusta Country Club where the bride got ready for the big day and was also the site of the reception.

The day was off to a great start while Lindsey got ready for the wedding with her bridesmaids and prepared for the first look between her and Russ. The moment between the bride and groom was nothing less than breathtaking. There were so many heartfelt emotions shared between Lindsey and Russ that I could tell they have something truly special to last for a lifetime. I wish you both the best of luck.

The wedding party was a fantastic group to work with! Everyone was so happy for the bride and groom that it really showed how much these two are loved by friends and family. Thank you for being a great group to work with.

I would also like to thank the August Country Club for once again being one of the top places I know to hold a wedding reception. You always have world class service.

I would also like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Norton for being such gracious hosts. Everything was so beautiful and wonderfully planned. You have a great daughter and new son-in-law. Congratulations!

And last by not least, thank you Lindsey and Russ. Thank you allowing me to be a part of your special day. You both did such a fantastic job. I know how hard you worked to make this day turn out as beautiful and memorable as it did. Everything was perfect! I hope you both are having a wonderful time in Jamaica and enjoying the warm weather. Many thanks to you both.

Here is a few of my favorite pictures from the wedding. And Lindsey, I loved the purple shoes.

And her dress just screamed out Lindsey’s name.

From their First Look. Good times!!

Gorgeous light.

Charleston Engagement Session – Alison & Ryan – Part 1

Lawrence Kent — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 14:38:50 +0000

We shot Alison and Ryan’s engagement session at two different locations in Charleston, South Carolina. The first place was at Middleton Place Plantation, which is located just outside of Charleston in Summerville. What a beautiful place. I have always loved visiting southern plantations and Middleton did not disappoint. Blessed with wonderful weather, Alison, Ryan and I explored the grounds of the plantation and got a excellent shots for their engagement. Both Alison and Ryan did a fantastic job. I can’t wait for their wedding next year.

Hey are a few of my favorites from their session. Check back tomorrow for part 2 of their engagement session from the Battery in downtown Charleston.

Beautiful Alison!!

And look who decided to join us. We were walking along several ponds and noticed him. Then all of a sudden, we noticed several more. No problem at all, but they Alison and Ryan wouldn’t get down a take a photo with him. Darn!

One of the favorites. Taken inside one of the old plantation work houses.

Alison loves horses and used to be an avid rider. This beauty was gigantic. He’s used for pulling the carriages.

North Augusta Engagement Photographer: Laurie & Tony

Lawrence Kent — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 19:09:15 +0000

What a great session I had with Tony and Laurie. We shot the session at Hammond’s Ferry in North Augusta on a perfect day. I can already tell that their wedding is going to be fantastic. They’ve planned a New Orleans Mardi Gras theme and I know that it’s going to be a blast shooting it.

I could instantly see the love between the both of them (as you’ll see below). Tony was constantly making Laurie laugh. What a great couple to work with.
