jade & jovan engagement

On January 18, 2017 by Sir Blocker With 0 Comments - Random

First engagement session of the year!!! Attractive couple, great energy and so much creativity! I’m super excited for this wedding in July! My team and I will be able to capture a unique wedding after hearing all of their plans. This engagement session started near the apartment of the engaged couple. With the eye of Dr. Jade and cooperation of Jovan we easily made it happen…literally a few steps outside of the home. Talk about not having to go far. The first outfit, all black, served as a more formal approach to the couple. We went to an opening of tall wheat looking grass nearby and some shots using teh bamboo canes as a background. Also close by was a body of water from the nearby river. Some tall oaks with Spanish moss helped create a spot for more pictures before looking at the water itself. After a misty, gloomy early morning, it really ended up being a very pretty day. Perfect for an outfit change. And that’s what they did. Whites and blues of denim created the second look as we traveled to the popular Riverfront Park. Near the famous red door we started with some creative ways to use the huge water pipe. A little bit of athleticism, creativity, posing and a couple of laughs later, we used the red door, amphitheater, steps and benches to finish our session. Congratulations and super excited about July!!! Want images like these of your own session? Contact us as we love talking about pictures!

{Bridal Session!!!} |Carleeta Guider | Siebel’s House

On April 24, 2016 by Sir Blocker With 1 Comments - Bridal Session, Weddings

It’s always fun and exciting shooting weddings. That’s why i got into photography. But what’s hard sometimes is not sharing all the fun and good times capturing the bride-to-be until after the wedding. In March, Around The Block Photography had the honor of photographing Carleeta’s Bridal session at The Historic Siebel’s House in Columbia, SC. Her colors were every shade of blue and the session was totally enhanced through the talented and creative efforts of Debbie Williams and Blue Key Creations. Debbie did an amazing job of styling this session. From a custom bouquet, wine bottles, picture frames, jewelry, modern blue chair, formal dinner table setting and oval mirror, Blue Key Creations transformed an already nice venue into a beautifully styled location to compliment our elegant bride to be. Thank you Carleeta for an amazing session. You braved the cold took direction well and really photographed well. Thanks also to Dominikii Coleman of DC Photography for being a second shooter.

{Wedding} | Jennifer & Lance | 701 Whaley

On February 25, 2016 by Sir Blocker With 0 Comments - Random

Another beautiful wedding as a second shooter to FOKAS Photography. One of my favorite decoration team, South Carolina Wedding Co did their thing again at one of South Carolina’s finest venues, 701 Whaley. With its exposed beams, original hardwoods, and stucco and palstered walls we love the rustic feel of this venue. Jennifer and her bridesmaids prepared for the wedding in the bridal loft, a large room with a second floor loft over looking the entire space. The ladies were gifted with bags, drinking glasses, and embroidered robes. Jennifer received a pair of express heels, a card, and a selfie stick from Lance. The selfie stick was a big hit and used almost immediately.

The wedding was on the second floor of 701 Whaley and the Reception was on the ground floor. The reception was a full out party thanks to DJ-DDubb, The night ended with a grand exit with sparklers.Congratulations Jennifer & Lance!! Interested in having images like these of your own?

{Hitched!!!} | Shaquanda & Adam | Charleston, SC

On July 15, 2015 by Sir Blocker With 0 Comments - Weddings

We had the pleasure of capturing Shaquanda and Adam’s wedding ceremony and reception at the Charleston Marriott Hotel. Their colors were turquioise and silver, and these were the most energetic groomsmen ever. Mostly members of Omgea Psi Phi Fraternity, these young men were wide open. From the engagement session of Shaquanda and Adam, i thought that Adam was quiet. His groomsmen spoke for him all throughout the day. All 10 of them. Stepping off the elevator on the second floor i could hear them celebrating! Mrs. Keke Swinton of Simply Kreative met me at 7am to set up the photobooth, and an awesome planner is she! Easy to work with, had clear direction and made things happen. Dominikii of DC Photography and Shandelle of b3 Photography created a fun, high energy atmosphere for the photobooth. Thank you ladies for all that you do! Couldnt have asked for a better team to help capture Shaquanda & Adam’s wedding. Take a look…

P.S. If you are interested in photos like this for your wedding or wedding related event feel free to contact us! We would be more than happy to listen to your vision and see how we can help capture your event. – Sir Blocker | 866.200.1350 | Info@AroundTheBlockPhotographycom

{Alexis & Phillip} | Hitched!!! | Spartanburg, SC

On June 6, 2015 by Sir Blocker With 0 Comments - Weddings

Another opportunity as a second shooter to FOKAS Photography, Alexis and Phillip were married at their home church Cornerstone Baptist Church in Spartanburg, SC. The Bride and Groom got ready at the church, and we were totally on schedule because of the month transition it was by the efforts of director Virginia Watson. The church itself was beautiful, and the ceremony matched perfectly. Plenty of laughs energy, personality and fun! This was a large wedding party, but no problems at all in terms of pictures. The reception was at the Cleveland Park & Event Center. It was nicely decorated and had plenty of personality itself. Outside boasted a wrap around porch, water, bridges, and a very picturesque environment. I have to mention the Avengers cake the couple had. Such personality. Congratulations to Alexis and Philip!!!

On May 1, 2015 by Sir Blocker With 0 Comments - Photo-Booth, Weddings

April is a good month. My Birthday on the 15th, Tax Day, warmer weather, pollen, and full of Spring weddings! On the 25th day of April, Around The Block Photography helped shoot Shayla & Gary’s wedding with J Pearson Photography. In Columbia’s First Baptist Church Downtown, we photographed the two in Holy Matrimony. I got to work with two videographers of Motion Captured Memories that I’ve worked with in the past, and an awesome day to shoot it was. The ladies looked very nice in their grey and peach colors, and the fellas dapper in their black and white. The reception was at the Capital Center Building and decorated beautifully by South Carolina Wedding Co. This was an interesting wedding and the Photo-Booth was a blast!. Take a look…

{Engagement Session!!!} | Shaquanda & Adam |Charleston, SC

On April 20, 2015 by Sir Blocker With 0 Comments - Engagements

After about 45 minutes of hard, cant see anything rain, I entered Charleston from Columbia and what did i see? Big white clouds, an awesome blue sky, and two well dressed individuals, Shaquanda and Adam. In their choral and white, these two young folk walked to the pier at Folly Beach. Off came their shoes, and into some shade we went to capture some beach interaction. After about 40 minutes, Shaquanda and Adam changed into more formal outfits and downtown’s Waterfront Park was our next venue. Enjoyed photographing these two and lokoing forward to their July wedding. Thanks Bartholomew of FOKAS photography for being my second shooter. Take a look…
