Welcome to English Tavern

Cosmos? Perhaps. Fate? We suppose. God? Well, of course. But, really, the cause is irrelevant. Every morning we wake up in each others arms and we exhale. There is nothing worth more than love and by the grace of God, it found us. All that is significant in our lives stems from that truth, and we are endlessly grateful.

Despite knowing each other for nearly a decade, we have yet to find the time to marry one another, but we’re working on it. In the meantime, we’re humbled by the thought of being a part of yours. Please feel free to browse through our work and ring us with any questions. We look forward to working with you.

Cheers and congratulations on your engagement.

But wait ... Check out our story and our first blog post.. Also, you can check out our philanthropic project, project oath.

Thanks again.

Kimberly & Chris | The Quason Lodge | Chatham | Massachusetts | Wedding

Our only regret about this wedding is that we didn’t get a chance to hang with the couple prior to their wedding day.  Kim and Chris are this incredibly genuine and endlessly classy twosome that exemplify warmth from the moment you meet them… Not to mention the bride looks like she just waltzed out of Hollywood’s Golden Era.

The couple hosted a weeklong wedding celebration at The Quason Lodge in Chatham.  Family and wedding party spent the week leading up to the celebration enjoying Cape Cod and staying up late playing countless games of Celebrity together, so by the big day, they were all thoroughly relaxed.

Every detail of the event was meticulously designed by the bride to invoke true Cape Cod tradition. And Cape Cod Celebrations owner, Jamie Bohlin, did a flawless job making certain that the day played out just as Kim envisioned.

Congratulations you two. We wish you a blessed life together in marriage.

Jessica & Mike | Hope Town Harbour Lodge | Hope Town | Bahamas | Wedding

One June 6th, die-hard Gator fans, Jessica and Mike, hosted sixty of their closest friends and family for their beautiful wedding weekend in Hope Town, Bahamas.  Somehow, in between taking shots at the bar with Mike’s groomsmen and dodging persistent requests to join guests on the dance floor, we managed to capture this magnificent celebration.

The ceremony took place in a charming little old church in Hope Town, and the Hope Town Harbour Lodge played host for the reception.  A special thanks to the Masseys who made us feel like part of their family from the moment we arrived, and to Tom Hazel, manager of the Hope Town Harbour Lodge, for graciously embracing us at his idyllic establishment.  The whole evening was such a treat.

Congratulations Dr. and Mrs. Michael Shelton!

Jaimee & Tim | Old Sheldon Church | Charleston | South Carolina | Wedding

When Jaimee and Tim decided to get married, they told their invited guests when to show up and what hotel they’d be staying in. That’s it.

The beautifully orchestrated celebration started with a party bus ride to their surprise ceremony location… The Old Sheldon Church.  This historic pre-Revolutionary location is a photographer’s dream come true, and we took full advantage of our good fortune.  Following the ceremony, the newlyweds surprised guests with a YUM dinner at Cypress. And the country singer bride even managed to surprise her honey with a self-recorded first dance classic, At Last.

Every last detail of the day was perfection, and we both have nothing less than full hearts and grand blessings for two of our favorite people on this earth. We love you guys. Congratulations.

Sarah & Allan | Bimini Bay Resort | Bimini | Bahamas | Wedding

As photographers, we have never had a couple make us feel more a part of their celebration than Sarah and Allan. From the moment we arrived at the Bimini Bay Resort on North Bimini in the Bahamas, this couple was forcing cocktails into our hands and insisting we join them on the dance floor.  We genuinely hope to remain a part of their lives as they embark on what will undoubtedly be a lifetime of love and happiness.
Congratulations you two. We love you guys.

Monique & Mike | Ocean View Club | Harbour Island | Bahamas | Wedding

The first weekend in May we flew down to the Bahamas to celebrate the wedding of a fellow CU Boulder alum, Mike Lotze (Go Buffs!).  Mike and his beautiful bride Monique traveled the 2500 miles across the country from their home in San Diego to the mesmerizing beaches of Harbour Island to  say their vows on May 2.  The Ocean View Club hosted them in a beautiful ocean side celebration with 80 of their closest friends and family.  We wish Mr. and Mrs. Lotze the best in their new life together.

Tina & Andy | Founders Hall | Roswell | Georgia | Wedding

This time last year, we were goofing off in Piedmont park with Tina and Andy shooting their engagement photos, and by the end of the day we were knocking back cocktails at Park Tavern like old friends.  When they asked us to shoot their wedding, we were completely jazzed.  They got hitched October 11 at the Holy Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church? in Marietta and then celebrated with friends and family at Founder’s Hall in Historic Roswell.  And at the end of the night, they made a surprise exit in an antique Bentley.  We love you guys and were so excited to be there for your celebration.

Hope Town | Abacos | Bahamas | Wedding Venue

Hope Town Harbour Lodge, Abacos, Bahamas

After a brief stop over in the Abacos while on a boat trip with Justin’s dad, we simply had to post a few shots.  The Hope Town Harbour Lodge is a stellar wedding location on arguably the most unique and exclusive little island in the Abacos.  The lodge itself actually started out as a private home and maintains that welcoming feel to this day.  The pool/bar/restaurant are beach side and the views are out of this world.  We nearly bagged our wedding location and switched to this locale after our mid-summer visit, no joke.  We wanted to post a few pics for one of our brides, Jessica, that will be saying her “I Dos” at this spot next May.  We can’t wait lady!

Sarah & Yang | Wequassett | Massachusetts | Cape Cod | Wedding

The night before Sarah and Yang’s wedding, we admittedly left the Weather Channel on pretty much all night as Hurricane Hanna boastfully made her way up the east coast with plans to land on Cape Cod just about the time that Sarah would be having her makeup done.  Right.

Now, they say that rain on your wedding day is good luck, but we didn’t envy Sarah’s bridesmaids who might very well have been spending their night trying to come up with a saying that applied to ‘flash floods and hurricane winds’ on your wedding day.

Lucky for them… and us… Sunday delivered bright blue skies for the happy couple.

Both the ceremony and reception took place at The Wequassett Inn in Chatham, and boasted all the true New England wedding details; awesome ocean views, oysters, clams, shrimp, big fat lobsters and a whole ton of happy guests with lobster bibs on, and butter dripping down their smiling cheeks.

And true to Sarah and Yang’s prediction, the reception was a virtual comedy routine in motion.  The expressions we managed to capture in some of these photos had us rolling!  And comedians themselves, Sarah and Yang were hysterically fabulous to have as clients.

Cheers you two crazy newlyweds! And congratulations.
