Jessica & Jon Ralph’s G U E S T Blog:

{Our story: John Ralph and I met in 9th grade and were friends throughout high school. He likes to say I “never gave him the time of day”, being the cheerleader from the rival high school, but I always considered him to be someone I admired. He had more drive than most guys and I always knew I would hear about the great things he would accomplish one day. Little did I know, I would be celebrating those accomplishments with him. After we both went our separate ways in college we lost communication for a while. Thanks to social networking (facebook and old school instant messaging) we reconnected in our second year of college. John Ralph invited me to be his date to his sisters debutant ball over christmas break. That night was when things between us started to change into something more than “just friends”. The following february I flew to new york to visit him at West Point and see the big apple. That weekend we knew we were onto something good. Three years, and lots of phone calls, plane rides, and letters later, John Ralph decided to put an end to our long distance relationship by asking me to marry him during a trip to Charleston. We planned a wedding in three weeks so we could move to Italy together for his job (he is an officer in the US Army). And the rest is history!}

We hope you enjoyed the images! If you are interested in Tomme Hilton Gallery, please email us at gallery.tommehilton@gmail.com — We would love to work with you!

erin + ryan | fun love

Tomme — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 02:04:53 +0000

Erin and Ryan were married at the Prince of Peace Catholic Church in Taylors, SC with a reception to follow at the Willow Creek Ranch in Landrum, SC. The Church was one of the most beautiful Catholic Church we have seen in a long time… huge doors, high ceilings, great lighting… And the Reception site, just AMAZING. You drive up to this beautiful house, with a river that runs into a ‘pond’ in the back, a beautiful red barn that over looked the pond… Okay… I really could go on for days talking about both of these places, let’s skip to this FUN — and I mean FUN — couple.

Now, the wedding day was the first time that we got to meet the beautiful couple because they had scheduled to do the ‘day after’ session with us after their honeymoon. Erica and I like to meet our clients before we shoot them so we can get a feel for their personalities, who they are, what they expect, etc. — But we didn’t need to do that with Erin and Ryan because they were so EASY to photograph. They off the bat had these fun, easy going personalities. We didn’t need to loosen them up to the camera, they were naturals — I’m not just saying this to be nice, they really were!! The E-N-T-I-R-E bridal party was that way! Check out our photos and let us know what you think!

Thank you Erin and Ryan!

Renate & Brian, TIED THE KNOT

Tomme — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 02:20:27 +0000

The past few weeks have been one rocky road! After an extremely busy June, I am now coming down to some meditation time. That is, if it exists. So, now I am finding a little bit of time to blog about our June weddings! First up on the June list:

RENATE & BRAIN

Married on June 5th! (wow, it’s been that long… eeekk!)

If you don’t remember Renate and Brian, check out their engagement photos… they were awesome! Despite the rain… We made it happen! AND, not to forget her bridals!! Sigh. Love, love, love them! She is the reason I can’t stand bridals! They turn out so great… yet ‘you’ cannot post them until AFTER the wedding! Ugh… the beauty of secrets right?

Renate and Brian’s wedding day started out with no parking at the hotel, wind that made your hair a whirlwind and humidity that that made you question if it was sweat or not. Ahem, It was a wonderful day to get married… ON THE BEACH! But let me just say… Renate and Brain… YOU ROCKED IT! They were amazing. And let me drag them EVERYWHERE to get that extra shot… or as I call it, the ‘One more’ shot!

Take a look at their wedding photos. Let us know what you think!

Jennifer & Eric

Tomme — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 02:04:58 +0000

Got married March 20th, 2010. The ceremony was greeted by warm smiles and warm breezes held at St.Stephens church downtown. Planning was impeccable by Stacey at Red Letter Events. What a great job she did! The wedding was timed perfectly and the weather couldn’t have been ANY NICER. She couldn’t order up a better day from the Gods! Jennifer must have made some back handed deal for the day she ended up with. Catering was done by Granville’s and super delish.

Candice & Erich {LasVegas Lovers}

Tomme — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 02:54:49 +0000

First, Let me refresh your memory of Candice and Erich. They were the AWESOME under water shoot I did!! Remember now?

Well, As all weddings tend to never really go as quite as planned, enter Candice and Erich who were to originally nab their nuptials in April. But, Erich, who was working in Cuba got detained and Castro declared… ‘Wedding or not! You’re staying!’ Dictatorship. Get it? ((fizzle!?))

Ok, that part was a little made up. Erich did have a minor set-back with work and after all the invites and STDs {save.the.dates} went in the mail… they had to move their wedding date in rather short notice. Cuba did let him out. And. Therefore, they did have their wedding. {Sigh of relief.}

Candice being a wedding designer for YOJ nailed the details – duh – and of course picked amazing vendors to work with.

Ahem, including thine self. Chest gets a little broader and head gets a little larger.

The wonderful location and catering was done by Granville’s. This spot was really cute and quaint and had such an intimate feel. Candice’s guest list was diminished b.c of the date change. BUT, the location was perfect for the number of guests. It felt like old, close friends having the time of their lives. And trust me, THEY DID! Let’s just say that since there wasn’t much room for the photobooth… the props were STILL used… as… outfits for the evening! Laugh. There was lots of dancing with our props that made for hilarious post processing. Bringing out the props illuminates crazy personalities!

Cakes were made by Molly at D’LISH whom always does a knock out job. I overheard Molly telling someone that since Candice had to do all the planning last minute – gave Molly a very vague description of the wedding – I believe the words were vintage and urban — Molly just took those key words and designed the cake. Not just designed that cake, but made edible art pieces. BaddaBING! I didn’t get to taste it but it looked really moist and well, D’LISH! Candice never saw the cake until her wedding day. That’s trust! She was more than tickled when she saw it.

None the less, Candice beamed the entire day. But, who wouldn’t on their wedding day? Not too many times would I turn her way without there being a big infectious smile all over her face.

After all the dancing and laughing were over… the newlyweds left for LasVegas!! Spend that money, honey!

But knowing these two, the honeymoon is FAR from over!

Congrats you two!

Until next time.

xo,

Tomme.

{Guest Blog} by Heather & Steve

Tomme — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 00:45:51 +0000

The holiday’s are over and I am settling back into my ‘normal’ life… back in my ways… back to routines… back to… wait… who am I kidding! I dont have a normal life! OR a routine! Everyday is different and crazy!!

BUT, one thing I do have is ANOTHER {GUEST BLOG}! Remember Heather & Steve? Read their post about the day of their wedding and the relationship we developed!

…..

Our wedding was October 3, 2009 at Magnolia Plantation for the ceremony and High Cotton for the reception dinner.

Tomme Hilton was our photographer and she was no less than amazing in every way. We had never met prior to the actual wedding, because we live in Raleigh, NC and she is based out of the Charleston area. Our wedding planner recommended her to us after knowing the style we were looking for. We wanted romantic, sweet, fun, different, and also some traditional in the mix. Tomme Hilton is all of the above and more.

We kept in touch threw out the whole time before the wedding and felt very comfortable after seeing her beautiful work on her websites and facebook page. Tomme was very professional and was great about getting back to us with any questions or concerns we had along the way. I had commented on various photos on her facebook page that we really liked and she made a note of all of them to apply to our day. We were very impressed on the day of our wedding, because it was a scorcher that day. It was so hot and sticky, but she took control of the situation getting in all the various shots that we wanted plus so many more amazing ones. Tomme is a bright, bubbly, funny, artistic photographer with so many ideas and visions. We felt so comfortable with her the whole day. My husband does not like taking pictures and so we do not get that many together that he actually likes, but we had so many to choose from.

Tomme had various photos back to us to get a sneak peek just a few days after the wedding. It was such a surprise and we were so happy. The actual photo disk was back to us way faster than we expected and we were so happy to be able to share with our family during Christmas. We are so glad to know Tomme as a person and not just the photographer. She is just a great person to know and work with and we feel so blessed that we had her as our photographer for our big day. We will for sure be using her for maternity photos down the line and anything else that way come up.

Thanks Heather and Steve! I had a great experience shooting your wedding and a great time getting to know you two as a couple! Congratulations on your marriage and best of luck in the future! I look forward to working with you again in the future!
