More lift pictures of the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist’s spire
By a stroke of luck, we were introduced to pro photographer and Charleston local, Jeni Rone, of Sea Star Arts during the last few days of our stay here. Jeni is known for her fine art photography throughout the southeastern United States and has proven her professional mettle photographing all manner of places, events and circumstances. Actively involved in capturing moments showcasing important proceedings in her very historic home town of Charleston, South Carolina, Jeni made no exception to exceptionally covering the pre to post details of this monumental day.
We purchased several of her photos which are featured below. Make sure to buy some of your own, too!

Whew! Our copper work is done, the lift is over and now we can concentrate more on other fun stuff!
We have been very fortunate to have met some great people and to have made wonderful new friends during our time in Charleston. One such person is pro photographer, Jeni Rone, of Sea Star Arts and her friends at Steely and Kerr Photography. More to come on Jeni and her work in future posts, but for now, here is the story of the pictures in today’s gallery as told by Larry of Bella Vista Bridal on 211 King Street in Charleston. (They have a location in Columbia, too!)
“On Saturday, Jeni Rone, our good friend, photographer, and artist called to ask if we had a dress available for a photo shoot on Sunday. She let us know that St. John the Baptist Cathedral was going to be getting its new steeple after over 100 years on Monday, but before it went up they had gotten special permission to do a photo shoot using the steeple while it was still in the courtyard. We tagged along and took some pictures of the steeple and the shoot. Jeni did such a great job with this historic opportunity that I am sure her pictures will be showing up for a long time to come. Bella Vista Bridal was proud to be able to help this come together and see one of our beautiful dresses alongside this great piece of art. We also met the artisan who crafted this steeple (that’s him helping the model onto the steeple base). Keep an eye out for Jeni’s pictures at SeaStarArts.com”
