Heather Forsythe Professional Photographer

Ahhhh… this time of year is always so refreshing! I love being able to get back out on the beach for shoots! Especially with a couple as lovely as this! This time I met up with September bride and groom, Debbie and Clay. We had such a great time shooting till after dark on Sullivan’s Island. Some of my favorite shots were with a giant frieghter cruising up the channel in the background! Keep an eye out this fall for Debbie and Clay’s Pawley’s Island wedding! I can’t wait!

Just heard this from Debbie:

Do you ever see a couple and think “Oh my, those are going to be some GORGEOUS children!” Kristen and Latif are that couple! I loved shooting their engagement photos this past Monday! Poor things, I kept them on that chilly beach till after dark (you’re a champ, Kristen!) We met up at Fort Moultrie on Sullivan’s Island - at first sight, it doesn’t look like a great spot for photos, but it’s truly a perfect backdrop! I loved the brick wall and grassy field right behind the fort, and of course, the beach. Here are just a few of my favorites!

Just heard this from Kristen:

“Heather, the pictures are AMAZING!  I love, love, love them!  I’ve been looking at them and found so many great ones — standing out in the cold was well worth it.  We had such a great time with you and I’m so happy that you’ll be taking our wedding pictures.”

I met up with April bride and groom, Kristina and Chris, for an engagement session this past week. We did the shoot at Chris’ parents home in Hollywood, SC. It was absolutely beautiful out there. I loved this field shot I got with Kristina looking perfectly-paired with the country side in her dress and cowgirl boots! Kristina is planning a gorgeous wedding with Luke of Fleur, Luke Wilson Special Events. I’m looking forward to it!

Here’s the custom event card I’ve designed to match Kristina & Chris’ wedding paper:

I think in another life I would be a florist - I love florals! I was thrilled when Annie Mueller of A New Leaf Studio, asked me to shoot a bouquet of hers for Destination Weddings Magazine. The theme was Moroccan Menagerie - A North African Affair.  I love the idea - and I’d love to meet the bride who uses this as her inspiration!

I had been looking forward to Laurin and Henry’s wedding ever since their engagement session (here), when we met up at the Daniel Island Fire House! This was the perfect wedding to kick off my Spring wedding season with a bang! The ceremony was held at the historic St. Luke’s Chapel with the reception at the ever so gorgeous, Hibernian Hall on Meeting Street. Oh, and check out the 20×24 canvas print from their e-session which greeted guests as they walked through the hall’s huge oak doors to the reception.

I just heard this back from Laurin:

I was excited to see Kate and Rem’s kiss make the “Top 20 Kisses” for Weddings Unveiled Magazine. Peggy and Stephen’s gorgeous sunset kiss made the list too! Check it out on their blog, Completely Unveiled!

I just got the latest issue of Charleston Weddings, which featured a 3 page spread of Jane and David’s spring wedding. Writer, Elie Somerville, wrote a great piece with lots of advise on planning a colorful, unique wedding. Oh, and I LOVE Peter Frank Edward’s amazing Beach Cottage Chic shots! Love that cover shot!

“SNAP TO IT: Photographer Heather Forsythe arrived at the reception early to capture vignettes of the florals, like groom David’s boutonniere and Jane’s bouquet. Want more than run-of-the-mill wedding portraits? Advise your photographer to follow Heather’s lead.”
