Welcome to Southern Wedding Photography


Hello, I'm Ron Anderson; welcome to my blog. As you may see from my work, I am very passionate about my photography and I try to incorporate my unique and artistic vision into every wedding that I photograph. My method of capture is a lot like my personality; I am not up "in your face," but rather document the day unobtrusively yet efficiently and respect the day as your day and not my show! I am truly honored to be a part of each and every wedding that I photograph, and it is my pleasure to contribute to your cherished memories both on your wedding day, and for many years to come.

Sincerely,
Ron Anderson

Susan























Susan and I had a blast during her bridal session! We hadn't met before that day, but we shared quite a few laughs as we talked and just had fun capturing some great images. We started out at the Marriott in Spartanburg, SC and then traveled just a few blocks to a beautiful stone church where we were able to get more artistic images. Susan is going to Aruba later this year for her wedding, and I won't be going with her, but I wish her and her family all the best and a safe trip.

Becca & Tim






















Becca and Tim hit the road early for the hour and a half drive to Pearson's falls in Saluda, North Carolina. Good thing we got there early too, because we had the falls all to ourselves for the first half an hour. Becca and Tim love the outdoors so much, they knew a waterfall would make the perfect backdrop for their engagement photos. You may think it was a scorching 100 degrees when you see the images of the couple splashing about, but it was actually a cool spring morning. Don't be concerned, I did not force them into the stream or say they had to splash each other with the chilling water, they were just having some fun! Since the couple spotted a baby turtle swimming in the water with them, I will conclude with this ancient Chinese proverb...
"He who sees a turtle at their engagement session is destined for a long and prosperous marriage".

Kristen & Chris























Kristen seemed to have a sixth sense about the impending rainstorm; I could sense the urgency written all over her face that said "get the show on the road" FAST as she exited her car. Despite the threat of rain to put their engagement session to an abrupt halt, Chris and Kristen stayed calm and focused on the task at hand. They had to get some spectacular images and they had to have fun doing it - whether they liked it or not. We sure did have some fun, as you can clearly see in many of the images. What I wasn't expecting though, was when Chris and Kristen got into their "model" mode and took the photo shoot to a whole new level; yes, we're talking major "Blue Steel" here that even Ben Stiller would need to take notes on.

As for Kristen's feeling about the weather, she turned out to be dead on when the final clicks of the shutter sounded. Rain washed down from the sky all at once leaving us stranded under a nearby bridge for a short while. Luckily for us all, Kristen had some bottled water just in case a situation like this came about. She seems like someone who is always prepared for any situation. I wouldn't know for sure, but her purse may have also contained a few emergency blankets, various food rations, roll of duct tape, a pop-up tent, flashlights, gauze, rope, splints, and a couple of flare guns - I'm only guessing.

Anyway....

Beth & Warren































I don't think I have ever been more moved in a wedding ceremony before! Warren and Beth's devotion to God and each other resounded in everything that took place on their wedding day. Their story tells of a love that was willing to wait and trust God to bring the right one along, a faithfulness that doesn't place each other on a pedestal higher than their Lord and Savior - Jesus Christ, and a promise to forever work together to fulfill God's purpose wherever they may go. I believe this is marriage as it was intended to be, and it's foundation is stronger than anything else we could ever build upon. Beth will be moving to join Warren in his ministry where he resides in Australia.

Matt & Jo Ann




























Jo Ann and Matt brought friends and family from around the U.S. and from across the ocean to Murrells Inlet, SC to celebrate their union in marriage. The ceremony was held at the magnificent Wachesaw Plantation which holds a truly pristine golf course as well as many spectacular homes. The couple allowed me to spend a couple of hours with them both before the ceremony, so I was able to get some great images that would have otherwise been impossible. Despite stormy skies at the time of the ceremony, paired with the antique car stalling when taking the bride to be walked down the aisle, the day went very well and the couple remained optimistic and had fun right through it all.

Thanks Matt & Jo Ann!

Holly & Mark






























Holly & Mark were married on February 29th ( Oh Yes, that was a leap year wedding!! ) in Downtown Greenville at Soby's Loft. The number of guests attending the wedding was limited to only the closest family and friends of the couple, which provided a very intimate and comfortable setting. One thing that greatly added to the relaxed atmosphere was due to the fact that Holly and Mark chose to see each other before the ceremony. This provided an opportunity to get all of the "formal" photography out of the way before the ceremony began, which allowed the couple to immediately join their guests for the reception. Holly told me that her and Mark loved to have fun and be a little crazy at times, so we had to get a great image that reflected that; can you guess which one it is?

Thanks Holly & Mark!

Aimee & Sumner
















I cannot call this an engagement session because Aimee & Sumner were recently married on November 17th ( see post below ). I will call it a Couple's Session ; )

Whatever we call it, Aimee, Sumner, and I went to a few ares near Reedy Falls Park in Greenville for a fun and relaxed photography session. The weather was edging on the warm side ( especially for DECEMBER! I hope my images do them justice, as they are a attractive and FUN couple!

Enjoy

Erwin Wedding




























Penny and John are a very sweet couple! One thing that anyone would quickly discover when they meet these two, is that they love the Lord. The ceremony certainly reflected their commitment to each other and God. What a lovely wedding to end the year with as we focus on Christ and Gods love for us during the Christmas Season!
