Welcome to Southern Wedding Photography


Welcome to the Southern Wedding Photography blog; I'm Ron Anderson. As you may see from my work, I am very passionate about my photography and I try to incorporate a 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

Mommy & Baby Portraits at Furman University - South Carolina


































Ashley and Riley have so much fun together! You can tell that Riley is the apple of her mommy's eye, so I knew I wanted to try and capture that fact in the images that I created for them. We headed to Furman University despite looming dark clouds, and rain falling as we drove to the campus. The wait had been too long, as Ashley and I kept projecting dates around our hectic schedules to have the session done; the wait paid off! Riley's independence, and desire to remind us of it, kept her from posing in a sitting position for more than a second. We opted to just let her explore with her mom, and I think we came away with some great photographs! Thanks Ashley and Riley, I had a lot of fun; I hope you did too!

Beautiful Fall wedding at the Marion Hatcher Center in Augusta, GA. Congratulations Elizabeth & Chris!

Marion Hatcher Center - Augusta Georgia



























































Elizabeth and Chris had their wedding ceremony at the Marion Hatcher Center, in Augusta Georgia. It was a beautiful fall day, and even though the wedding was held inside, the window lit room provided a real sense of the environment outside! The ceremony included a lighting of a unity candle to symbolize two lives joining into one. As Chris and Elizabeth started down the aisle as husband and wife, I captured a great images as Elizabeth gave her mom sort of a high five hand shake! Following the nuptials, we headed outside to the grand staircases in front of the venue, where we created some great images of the families and the wedding party. At the reception, music was provided by Bill Tolbert with BTS Productions. You won't see a ton of people on the dance floor, because the guests there consisted of only the closest family members and friends of the couple. I think there is much to be said about having a smaller intimate wedding!

Thanks for stopping by.

Wedding in Pendleton South Carolina - Sarah & Chris

















































Sarah and Chris were married on October 24th, at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Pendleton South Carolina. Despite the forecast for rain, it was an absolutely beautiful autumn day! The colors of fall seemed to provide the perfect surrounding for the small historic church, featuring bright red doors in the front. Although we were not allowed inside during the ceremony, the door seemed to be conveniently left open for us to capture images from a distance; I was thankful for that! After Chris and Sarah walked out of the church as husband and wife, they spent some time alone just walking together outside. I thought it was awesome that they took time out immediately for each other, to reflect on the vows they just took, and the new chapter of life they were starting together - I think this time provided them with some of the best images of the day too! The reception was held on the grounds of the magnificent Woodburn historic home (c1830) in Pendleton, SC. Chris gave a wonderful speech that made a lot of people laugh and cry - I love it!!!

Thanks Chris and Sarah for allowing us to create images of your wedding day!

Wedding at Wintergreen Woods in Lexington South Carolina - Stephanie and Alan















































Yet another gorgeous outdoor October wedding!!!

Stephanie and Alan had a beautiful wedding on October 18th, at Wintergreen Woods, in Lexington South Carolina. The October weather was just perfect for an outdoor event; they could not have picked a better day! The couple included their adorable baby boy, who apparently decided at the very last minute that he did not want to be happily involved in the ceremony. I think little things like that only make for a more memorable day! Although Stephanie and Alan had candles around the altar, they chose to pour sands into a glass vase to signify them joining themselves to each other in such a way that they can never be separated again - I love that! The reception followed inside, where music was provided by Barry Miller, who owns Record Breakers. The beautiful cake was created by Vintage Bakery, which was very yummy by the way!

Congratulations Stephanie and Alan!!!
