Weddings

Flint and Tinder Gather close and snuggle up. There’s more to winter warmth than the fire.

If Liz and Mike are any indication, there is real truth to the adage “absence makes the heart grow fonder.” The couple began dating while at the University of South Carolina and were together for one blissful year when Mike accepted a job as a civilian contractor in Afghanistan, a position that would require him to be overseas for 18 months. While challenging, the distance between Liz and Mike only seemed to solidify their love for one another. A few weeks after Mike returned home, he took Liz on an Alaskan cruise where, during a photo shoot with the onboard photographer, he proposed. Liz accepted without hesitation. The couple was married at Greenville’s Christ Church. After the ceremony, guests met the bride and groom at the Westin Poinsett for an elegant black-tie reception. The newlyweds live in Greer, SC. Liz is a mechanical engineer at Fluor Corporation, and Mike is continuing his studies at USC Upstate. PHOTOGRAPH BY CRYSTAL & KEITH CARSON // RED APPLE TREE PHOTOGRAPHY FEBRUARY 2015 / 31
