Erin & Paul--When you know, you know!

They always say that when you meet "the one," you just know. Well, after Erin and Paul first met in spring of 2007, it was only a matter of weeks before she had moved to Georgia and they were engaged! I was really excited about their wedding because of their fairy tale story and also because Erin is part of a group of friends whose weddings I've been honored to photograph.



Erin and Paul were married at the same small church in Spartanburg where her parents and several other family members also were married.



The stained glass windows were amazing--very thick glass with the most vibrant colors you've ever seen! The sun just streamed in all throughout the ceremony.



The basement had really funky murals that the youth group must have painted. Perfect backdrop for some dramatic portraits...



Erin's three nephews were all involved in the wedding, and they were so excited to be a part of the day. The little ring bearer was SO excited that Aunt Erin said he could keep the ring pillow! He was the first person to congratulate them after the ceremony. :-)



I love this one! How amazing is the light from those windows??



Some happy "alone time" before moving on the reception. I'm going to have to do a separate post for the reception--just too many to choose from!





Would it be an Amy Clifton wedding without a shoe-shot? Of course not!

Congratulations Erin and Paul!

Mom--Thanks for always checking the blog and supporting me! (and for putting together proof albums from time to time) :-)

Juliet--Thank you so much--they are a truly happy couple who made my job easy with all their emotion!

David & Kimi--Ooh, I know...I was pumped over those red walls!

Erin and Paul--I am touched by your compliment. Couples like you--who aren't afraid to let their emotions show or to try something a little unusual--are the reason I do what I do! Thank you for putting your trust in me and for allowing me to be there to document your love story.

--Amy
