Chelsea & Eric’s Wedding . Spiegel Farms . Campobello, SC . Tryon, NC

Chelsea & Eric had a truly, incredibly, beautiful wedding. The day started with getting ready at Spiegel Farms in Campobello, SC. Spiegel Farms was one of the most stunning venues I’ve ever seen. The beautiful barn was like nothing I’ve ever seen before (and as you’re looking through the photographs I promise you’ll say “What barn? I don’t see a barn?!?” Yes, exactly my point – it’s that amazing.

I arrived while the girls were getting ready – hair, makeup, beautiful dresses…. A perfect beginning to an absolutely perfect day. After photographs with the wedding party and some amazing portraits with some of the horses there on the farm it  Chelsea headed to the ceremony at Tryon Presbyterian Church in a stunning chauffeured silver vintage Rolls Royce.

Following a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony we headed back to Spiegel Farms for more photos of Cheslea & Eric alone then a stunningly beautiful reception in the ballroom.

No detail was overlooked, everything went perfectly. From the DJ teaching impromptu dance lessons to the amazing cake, candy bar, beautiful floral arrangements… it was all simply stunning.

I really, truly, enjoyed every moment I spent with Chelsea, Eric, and their families. I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed meeting them all and how I’ve enjoyed the relationships I’ve formed with them. It was a truly, truly incredible experience. But, then again, capturing true love always is…






























































Big thanks to Mike Tucker for driving up from Anderson, SC to help me photograph this wedding!
