Do you remember Lesley and Jon from their engagement session earlier this year? They got married!!!
Lesley first contacted me about a hundred years ago or so, when she was just starting to look for the perfect venue. We got really close by email, talking about dozens of different possible wedding locations up and down the coast, from the Georgia Coastline up to the Outer Banks. I had recommended a couple of my very favorite locations (Daufuskie Island and Debordieu Colony, SC), and she followed up on both of these – and fell in love with Debordieu. I was so excited… first of all, it’s a great place to shoot. But second, she totally credited me with finding her wedding location! Yay me!
The wedding day was *gorgeous*. It was a bit overcast, since 2008 was apparently the Year of Rain, but that was the worst of it! The only thing that went “wrong” that day was Lesley’s injury. She tried to pin her mom’s corsage on, and the pin sort of went through her thumb. It sounds worse than it was (picture below). :-\ I think the rest of us were more freaked out about it than Lesley… nothing really bothers her, anyway!
Michael and I loved working with you guys! Stay in touch, and call me if you’re ever in Wilmington so we can get a beer!!!
the corsage injury
I try so hard to stay out of pictures, but Michael caught me in this one… and I don’t hate it. So, this is what I look like!

These are hands down the most professional pictures I have seen taken at any wedding I have been too. Stunning quality and professionalism. I suppose it helps with Lesley and Jon are drop dead sexy…
So sexy I can’t even type what I am thinking without a typo. I suppose it helps WHEN Lesley and Jon are drop dead sexy… I wish I was at the beach.
Most beautiful couple ever and the most gorgeous gown I have ever seen! Was a fabulous day and I couldn’t be happier for them!!
Great pictures! Makes me wish I could go back again this weekend!
Beautiful photos for beautiful people!
Leson 1 Year Anniversary Reunion – DeBourdieu Colony – September 20, 2009 – BE THERE (sorry if you guys were planning something romantic between just the two of you)
I love the pictures! Great wedding. Let’s do it again next year!
Wow! The pictures are beautiful! I will tell you why each one is so wonderful…
The first one is wonderful because it shows the bling! No, I really love it because Lesley is so happy and you can see that Jon is smiling with his eyes.
pic 2) I like that Lesley can focus so hard so close the wedding.
pic 3) This picture is gorgeous.
Great pictures, can’t wait to see the rest! This is the best looking wedding couple and group of attendants ever.
Amazing pictures and location. The pictures alone make me want to go back next year.
We LOVE the sneak preview – can’t wait to see the rest. Thanks so much to you and Michael for being part of the wonderful day – hope you can make it to Leson Reunion ’09!
i’m so happy for the both of you! These photos are gorgeous.
i can’t wait to see more!
These pictures are so wonderful. Les and Jon- you both look fabulous!
I agree on the reunion next year. Can we just celebrate every anniversary with you guys on a beach. I’m ready to come back and visit. I LOVE the photos. Glad you guys did candid, action shots.
I do enjoy the artsy pillar photo where we look like models from a bridal catalog
As per usual, I agree with Emily!!! I love the pillar photo – you all are so cool! Am very much looking forward to the reunion in one year – but people should not feel limited by the year – Beach road trip Leson Wedding reunion can happen whenever
.
Great pics…where were the party pics afterwards.
Great weeekend…let’s do it again!!
Simply Beautiful!
Great photos. Jon hardly looks “nervous” at all.
Dan
I love the last one, it is soooo Jonathon and Lesley…… just laughing and having a great time.
These are awesome. Of course with such a great looking couple, how could you miss! Love you guys, Karen and Danny
I agree with Dan…you can’t tell by the pictures how much stress Jonanthon was having! At least he didn’t cry like his dad at his wedding. But at our wedding they didn’t have to replace the hand rail due to imbedded finger prints. All in fun, what a fantastic wedding, weekend, and memories (pic’s).
Pretty! can’t wait to see the rest…
beautiful wedding. beautiful photos. beautiful couple. couldn’t have been more fun of a weekend! let’s all get together and do it again next year!
Sorry I couldn’t get the clouds to go away, but your smile was like the sun! The pics are excellent!
These photographs capture the happiness and excitement we all felt at Lesley and Jon’s wedding celebration. I’m impressed but not surprised that Charo and Michael produced such great photographs. Perfect pictures as a reminder of a perfect day!
I wonder if the photographer will buy the photo that her assistant took of her taking the photo of the wedding couple????
Oooo. Good question Karen! Michael just moved to Germany though, so she’d have to pay him in Euros…
Awww, you guys are precious! I would also not be opposed to year trips to SC to celebrate your anniversary.
LOVE.
Sounds like we have group concensus for a repeat trip next week. Can we get the house with the elevator again? Oh, maybe I’m not invited……maybe it will just be the friendzzzz. Is the photographer available for shooting party, party, party time?
How long we have to wait so see more pictures?
Are we winning?
Of course everyone is invited to the Leson reunion!!
I’ll send you pics when they’re ready – hopefully this weekend
I don’t know who these people are, but God they’re ATTRACTIVE!
Look how popular we are…and this guy Bon Jackus. Wow…he’s good at flattery.
