Rhonda & Clay -- South Carolina Wedding

Rhonda & Clay are two friends who I love dearly. They got married on Saturday and I was so blessed to be able to be there to witness their vows and to document the day of their wedding. It was really special to me.

The girls hung out and got pretty in the morning at Rhonda's mom's house. Rhonda held nothing back from the camera:


Rhonda is the cutest lil' southern bell with a drawl and all. I find myself wanting to talk like her when I visit :).



She looked absolutely gorgeous and glowed all day:


Clay and Rhonda saw each other before the wedding and we got some great portraits around the Furman University Campus that was absolutely beautiful.

This is Clay and Rhonda seeing each other for the first time:






The bridal party was large and a lot of fun. I got to know most of them as we hung out in the days prior to the wedding. Clay and Rhonda are both so good at being friends and it showed by the quality people and the amazing support they had in this group. Some came from as far as Taiwan to be there.



The ceremony was in a beautiful chapel on the university campus. Rhonda's dad walked her down the long isle:


And gave her away:



The ceremony was really full of meaning. I cried a little :).


Man and wife! Finally! :)


The first dance was sweet:



And they had a fun sparkler good-bye.


It was over so quickly--everything just flew by!

Clay & Rhonda--I'm SOOOO happy for you guys and miss you already!
