I would like to thank all of the people who took the time to submit entries to our recent “Green Wedding Contest”.
We are humbled by the overwhelming response and emails and letters and pictures sent to us.After several days of reading and discussion and careful deliberation of our panel of judges, we have chosen a winner : Joellen Pahs & Steven Rogers of Charleston, South Carolina ( note: location was not a factor of them winning). Jo and Steve are to marry at the beautiful I’on Creek Club in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina on April 17, 2009, moments before sunset.
Congratulations Joellen and Steven!!! I am excited to work with you both!To the participants, you all deserve to have the best wedding photographs. If I could photograph every couple who entered in the contest and not go bankrupt, I would. I wish you all many blessing, much love and the best of everything.
We would like to recognize the following couples who unfortunately were disqualified due to a conflict with their wedding dates- Diane Stimets who is going to have a fabulous green wedding celebration, Mexican style and Rachel Epstein of Brooklyn, NY who is passionate about saving the environment.
If you’re a professional photographer and would like to take on some of these participants and donate your time to photograph an amazing wedding, email us at [email protected]. I would be more than happy to get you in contact with these wonderful folks who entered the contest.
Until next time- remember – We don’t have an eternity to realize our dreams, only the time we are here – Susan Taylor

You’re too funny Virgil. As you get older you realize Charleston really isn’t that big. I think people remember me b/c I am loud, wild, and crazy and will try most things (legal of course) once. 😉 Therefore I meet and run into all sorts of friends, old and new ones. Steve and Jo I met because I joined a kickball team and was on the same team as Steve for a couple of seasons. I really miss my old kickball crew since moving to Augusta. They all call me “mama” since I was usually on the first base line telling them all “to come see mama” when I wanted them to get a good kick out of the roll. We all had many a good times at our local sponsor’s spots after the games (The Brick and Jimmy Dengates) were big supporters. I can’t wait until April. I know Steve and Jo will have a very fun wedding and lucky for them the best photographer will be there to capture all of the special and fun moments.

Small world– I know Jo and Steve and I also just stumbled across an old college friend on here– Troy Grill– you did his e-session. Everyone’s pics look so amazing and I know Jo and Steve’s will too!
To Jo and Steve: Congratulations guys! “mama” misses y’all!
