Nikki & Pete’s Debordieu Club Wedding

Liesl — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 00:51:10 +0000

Peter & Nicole were married on May 20, 2011 at the Debordieu Club in the Debordieu Colony, Georgetown, SC.

Wedding planner: Elizabeth from Grand Occassions

What an awesome event this was, it was clearly a very tight knit group of people who love Pete & Nikki. If it’s possible to have too much fun at a wedding, I think most of their guests accomplished this!

Happy St. Valentine’s Day!

Liesl — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 18:53:33 +0000

This past year has been a JAM PACKED year of non-stop love and I hope all of you are celebrating by expressing your love today! I want to thank all my clients from the past 12 months who hired me to record their love! St. Valentine was martyred for protesting a ban on marriage, and his stance on love and commitment has lived on for centuries! Whether you are married or not, today is a perfect day to practice your freedom to express your love!

I look forward to another year of witnessing some of the BEST LOVE ON EARTH!!!

Wedding Portraits with Pizazz!

Liesl — Wed, 05 May 2010 16:09:02 +0000

When I want a little pizazz with a dash of snazz, I look for good light. If I can’t find it, I add my own! This is my portrait session from Erica & Joseph’s wedding on April 24 at Breaker’s Resort Myrtle Beach, SC. A special thanks to Elizabeth from Grand Occasions, Inc! Everything goes so much more smoothly with that sweet lady around!

Hope your honeymoon was fabulous Erica & Joseph!

Liesl Diesel

Portraits with Pizazz! Just a little added light is all it takes to bring out the dramatic sky! What a perfect day!!

Erica & Joseph were just too easy to photograph!!

Simplicity

The entire entourage!

Make kids pose? who, me? um, no.

Ok so sometimes I have them pose. I am just so very fond of children that I try to keep their posing requirements to a minimum :)

BACK TO RUNNING!!!

Joseph and the boys!

The girls glam it up!

The seagulls start to gather

they were so sweet and peaceful together.

The birds scatter once they find out there is no food involved in the chase!

Erica & Joseph agree to chase the seagulls for me!

fun run!

Erica & Joseph are such good sports! running in the sand is no easy task, especially in formalwear!

Angela & Brian at Prince Resort

Liesl — Tue, 04 May 2010 18:11:41 +0000

This past weekend I photographed with Brooke Christl, and in addition to realizing that we both know WAY too many show tunes and tend to bring out the dorky side in each other, we also got to take some photos of some amazingly fun people! Angela & Brian were married on April 30, 2010 at Prince Resort in Myrtle Beach, SC. You can view all my favorites from this wedding on facebook! Thanks for having me along, Brooke!

Liesl Diesel

Angela takes off!

She was up for anything!

Angela was so playful, she jumped right over me!

I love lucky shots like this!

dressing

It is on!

Angela poses for Brooke and I grab this colorful shot. Brooke is a very talented photographer, I highly recommend her!!

Angela was packin' a serious holster. Do not mess with this girl . . .

Brian was blindfolded so that he would not accidentally see Angela, who snuck out and hid behind the giant beach umbrella!

Angela stays hidden as the rest of the guests are seated

Brian diligently stays blindfolded as he awaits her appearance!

They exchange rings with buoys on them JUST IN CASE! a wise investment.

It's official!

The wind was VERY unpredictable that day :)

I loved the light under the dock!

A quiet moment before the reception

This little girl had my attention all day!
