Bridal Portraits at The Lace House and SC Governor's Mansion
The Lace House and the grounds of the South Carolina Governor's Mansion is my favorite location for bridal portrait sessions in the Columbia, SC area. It's free to photograph in the numerous gardens and on the wrought-iron porch and steps of the historic Lace House during normal business hours, so I usually do bridals there at 3:30. This gives us 90 minutes during the nicest time of day in terms of light. I contact the Lace House in advance to reserve a time for us. Photos by Columbia, SC, wedding photographer Jeff Blake.
