Now I don’t have to swim with sharks

marnipictures — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:37:13 +0000

Earlier this month I was fortunate enough to attend the Engage:11 Grand Cayman conference. The Engage conferences are ongoing luxury wedding summits that bring together the best and most influential minds in the wedding industry in a non competitive environment. I had wanted to attend one for years but I was always about to have or had just had a baby every time they were scheduled. I’m so glad I was able to attend this year, though I came home to a daunting pile of emails, editing and a ridiculous bill from AT&T, the experience I had was unforgettable. I was able to hear Carley Roney, Sylvia Winestock, Bryan Rafanelli, Brian and Andy Marcus, Donna Von Breuning and Barbara Corcoran speak, just to name a few. The days were packed full of presentations but we did get a break to sail a catamaran out to a shelf in the ocean where you can swim with stingrays and I got to touch the silky underbelly of a HUGE ray. Very cool.

Can’t wait until the next one!

The Whitneys: Beach session

My adorable nephew attends Sundrops Montessori and I donated a portrait session to their Holiday auction last year. The Whitney family bought the auction item and opted to do their pictures on the beach. It was one of those humid, summer days where it looked like the sky was about to open up and drop torrential amounts of rain but it never did. The clouds were thick, fluffy and grey and the lighting was spot on perfect for an afternoon at the beach.

I scream, you scream, we all scream

I love to photograph food at weddings but it’s usually during the frenzy of dinnertime and I always feel like I’m holding up somebody’s supper or interfering with a busy server’s job. Photographing ice cream yesterday was no less hectic, as my subject wilted the longer I admired it or considered my camera angle. Lucky for me, a friend’s puppy was there to clean up any casualties…talk about a lucky dog!

Just a little bit Rock Star

Don’t you think?

Cameron + Jim

A little late afternoon rain shower didn’t interfere one bit with Cameron and Jim’s summer wedding perfection. Mount Pleasant Presbyterian’s rustic and beautiful portico provided the perfect shelter for some after ceremony pictures, and the rain moved through well before the couple’s rose petal sendoff from the Carolina Yacht Club. Cricket Newman did an incredible job of draping the club with floor to ceiling fabric and Jim Smeal’s towering cake was bespoke with lace detailing that mimicked Cameron’s dress to a tee. Oh, did I mention the monogrammed oak tree vodka luge? Yep, it was awesome.

Cameron and Jim, congratulations and it was my pleasure being part of your day!

Cameron + Jim’s Rehearsal Dinner

I met Cameron and her fantastic family four years ago when I photographed her older brother’s wedding. Needless to say I was thrilled when her mom called and asked me to shoot her upcoming wedding this summer. It was a treat to work with her and what a great surprise to see that her sister-in-law (and matron of honor) was 9 months pregnant! Cameron and Jim have been together for seven years, and the toasts at their rehearsal dinner were touching, sentimental and downright hilarious. Also, Jim’s speech gets my vote for best toast from a groom, ever. He got a standing ovation!
