This post will be a special one! Haley and Tim became friends of mine about 4 years ago when Haley called and asked me to shoot some images of Her and Tim before Tim was sent for a tour of duty in Iraq. We had the best time together shooting at Miami university where they met. We shot well into the dark all around campus and downtown. It was one of the best sessions I've ever had. When we finished I knew I had met friends that night and I remember telling Tim to come back safe and call me when they got engaged because I would love be there for them at their wedding. Three years later I get a call out of the blue: "Hi Nick, this is Haley. Do you remember me and Tim?" Of course!! How could I forget! She went on to tell me they had gotten engaged and would love to have me at their wedding in Charleston. She was a little worried that we might not travel but I told her we had shot several weddings in SC and we wouldn't miss it for the world!
The following is special a personal note from Father of the Bride Bob Bowers.
Thank You…
For
the second time in the last four years we are honored and privileged to
hand off our daughter to a better man. Before you view the pictures
from that wonderful weekend we want to thank everyone involved with the
wedding. Our guests traveled a long way whether flying or taking that
Highway 20 ride and your attendance made this event great. We thank you
for being there and for making this occasion memorable.
Our
thanks go to the family and friends who hosted events like the
Cincinnati and Atlanta showers and the Bridal Party brunch. These were
special times enjoyed with Tim and Haley and spent with the best of
friends and family. We also want to thank all who planned and hosted
the Wedding Party cocktail get together in Isle of Palms Thursday
night. The evening with TJ and Haley’s crowd was the break we all
needed.
Next
we’d like to express our gratitude to Tim’s family for the incredible
Charleston Harbor rehearsal dinner aboard The Carolina Girl. The bar
was set exceedingly high that Friday night as the pictures show. The
food, the music and the cruise made for an incredible night.
Finally,
I would like to recognize my wife and daughters for their years long
planning and execution of this celebration. They somehow managed to
meet the challenge and deliver a reception second to none. On the heels
of these other events that was a nearly impossible task. The 808
Photography team captured literally every frame of the wedding weekend
which is an amazing feat so enjoy the memories and let’s salute this
Miami Merger with a “HOAH” and a “Who Dey”.
This one will always be "the" shot that comes to mind when I think of Haley and Tim. These steps are at the foot of the US Customs house in downtown Charleston and it was one spot Blake and I wanted to hit and luckily we squeezed it in on our way to th ceremony cause we got some of my favoties there including the image of Haley below. I remember telling Tim when he gets a desk, this was the 5x7 that he was going to print to put on it!
