Rock Hill, SC Wedding: Stephanie and Thomas

It could have been a really tough day for a large collection of Clemson University graduates.

But these die hard Tiger fans shook off an unexpected football loss with a wonderful wedding and a huge reception celebration.

With the backdrop of a magnificent fall day, Stephanie and Thomas exchanged vows at Grace Lutheran Church in Rock Hill, SC, before moving on to a fantastic party at Rock Hill Country Club.

The day flowed smoothly with great leadership from planner Karen Blankenship of Events per se, who was stayed on top of every detail. Fredda Smith’s  Buy the Bunch of Fort Mill created the florals with beautiful fall colors. And Sylvia Hinson of Sylvia’s Cakes & Things created one of the more unique cakes I’d seen in a while. Aaron Earnhardt of Hart to Heart Media was a pleasure to work with as he seamlessly documented the event with video as I created the still images.

It was my first trip to Rock Hill Country Club and general manager Kevin Hart and his staff did a great job. This was a dancing crowd with the party soundtrack provided by The Mighty Kicks, who didn’t take a break all night long.

It was such a pleasure working with Stephanie and Thomas’ families. Congratulations to you and have a great time in Maui.
