I have to start by saying that this is the third “Leigh” that I have photographed in the past month! I love it! All “Leighs” are welcome to call me for weddings, portraits, rehearsal dinners, etc. We’ll start a club.

Leigh and Derick had one of the most awesome rehearsal dinner parties that I’ve been to all summer. It was aboard the always fun and very scenic Carolina Girl. If you want fun photos with great lighting, I highly recommend an evening cruise for you and your guests. The boat leaves from Ripley Point and travels down around the Battery and up the Charleston harbor well into North Charleston. It is so cool to go under the Ravenel bridge and see the ports from the water side.

Guests enjoyed their drinks on the top deck and enjoyed the breeze. Dinner was catered by Jim N’ Nick’s and afterward, a pair of shagging instructors taught the guests a few dance moves. Soon enough the boat was rocking to the beat of “I Love Beach Music“.

Congratulations to Leigh and Derrick and thanks so much for having us to photograph your excellent party!
