There’s going to be a handsome discount exclusive to Kim Graham Photography clients, so be sure to make it to the bottom of the page before moving on along! Oh hi. My name is Jebb Graff. You may recognize me from the various roles I’ve played on several made-for-TV and direct-to-DVD movies including but not limited to “Dog Catcher #2”, “Portly Street Sweeper” and my most famous role to date “Ridiculously Good Looking Photobooth Guy”. Well, the actual credit reads as “Photobooth Photographer”, but my mom tells me otherwise and my cat thinks I’m his pajamas. Actually he just likes to sleep on my head, but that’s another story. My esteemed colleague Kim Graham, asked me (read: accepted bribe) to write up a little piece about myself and the latest addition to my photography & design business for her blog. I thought to myself while polishing my mirror, “well I love talking about myself, and everyone loves what I have to say, so yeah…I guess I’ll do it” (read: I hate talking about myself and Kim may be crazy for allowing this). Alright alright…enough shenanigans for a few words. Kim and I have known each other and worked together on various projects for quite some time now. She even photographed my wedding! We’re both photographers, and we like to work together to provide fantastic photos more than we like to duke it out as competitors. I’m writing this post today to share my wedding & event photobooth with you. Though I do occasionally second-shoot (an industry term meaning “shoot second”, or “also photograph”) weddings with colleagues, I stopped photographing...

John and Denise…they have stories. Really, really awesome stories. Somewhat unbelievable, definitely loveable. I hope they make a movie about these two one day. Without giving away their sweet secrets, I can say that it would be a mix between “Four Weddings and a Funeral” minus the funeral, “Trains, Planes and Automobiles”, and “National Lampoon’s Vacation”. And that is just the story of how they met. John and Denise…her Greek heritage, her career in the NYC fashion district, a prominent judge as a close family friend, his well-known family business to run, and super cool and relaxed demeanors. John and Denise waited a long time to find each other, and no amount of threatening weather would dampen the sweet peacefulness and intense love these two share. The storms were pretty intense. The forecast had huge rain and thunderstorms covering the entire area. I couldn’t help but take several shots of the weather progression throughout the day. It was hard to describe, but the guests were talking about the odd way the clouds formed around the house all day. It was raining on either side of us up and down the beach. The clouds were scary and threatening but all the while, there remained a small opening for the sun just overhead. You couldn’t have been there and not know it was unusual. Magical. Blessed. The rain held off until the very last picture was taken, at which point the bride and groom took off running into the house. The house is special, too. It belongs to John’s parents. It has been the site a other family weddings and special...

There’s no time like vacation to update the blog. Seriously, it takes a vacation to justify blogging over editing here at the end of spring wedding season when the editing list is quite long. Let’s just start back at the beginning of the season with a day so beautiful, I can still remember the cool breeze and warm sun, flowers blooming without fear of wilting. It was an absolutely perfect day for a wedding. The ceremony was held at the Unitarian Church in Charleston, easily on my top five list of prettiest churches of all time. Anna and Scott live in Georgia, but Anna’s love of Charleston stems back from her College of Charleston days. Their wedding party was small, primarily close family and a few cherished college friends. After their intimate ceremony, the party moved to a nearby restaurant for dinner. The flowers were provided by Charleston Flower Market. That cool breeze turned into some gusts, which led to some hilarious photos throughout the day. The bride even lost her veil at one point when it blew across the street. Her wonderful groom saved the day when he chased it down for her....
