Pretty Place SC - Symmes Chapel - 4k Aerial Perspective
This footage was shot over a few trips to Pretty Place last Fall. I usually find myself racing the sunrise as it crests the mountains due to my inevitable miscalculation of the trip's time, but the scene is well worth it.
I've attempted to do it justice in this video, but it's very difficult to capture all the nuance in lighting that you experience by being there. Highly recommended trip if you have the time.

Pretty Place Chapel in Danger of Burning
I got married at Pretty Place almost 14 years ago, here's a look at some old pics from my album, to give you a feel for the beauty of this spot, and the many special memories that have been made there over the years.
The Pretty Place
Fred W. Symmes Chapel (also known as Pretty Place because of its amazing view) is one of the many buildings that make up YMCA Camp Greenville. It was given by Mr. Fred W. Symmes for the enjoyment of the boys and girls who camp here each summer and is the spiritual center of the camp.
The current chapel was constructed in 1941 with several additions and improvements made in subsequent years including major upgrades made in 2012.
The Chapel is located on private property owned by the YMCA Camp Greenville (a branch of the YMCA of Greenville, SC). Camp Greenville has been in existence since 1912 and covers 1400 acres.

Pretty Place - Mountain Chapel
A YMCA mountain chapel in northwest South Carolina has been given the name Pretty Place because of its stunning views. The Fred W. Symmes Chapel is part of Camp Greenville. It's open to the public at no charge but it's a good idea to check the camp web site to make sure it's not being used for a wedding or special event on the day you want to visit.

We took the switchback trail down the gorge from Pretty Place Chapel. It's easy going down but coming back up is quite a challenge! So worth it and a must see!

Table Rock State Park SC - Aerial Perspective - Summer 2015
This is a compilation of flights and footage taken around Table Rock State Park in South Carolina. DJI's Inspire 1 was used for all aerial shots.
While the elevation at the summit may seem relatively low for those accustomed to peaks on the west coast, the climb is rather steep, and on a nearly constant upward grade. Carrying the Inspire and all its assorted accoutrements, along with camera equipment and water, could be quite a struggle at times for all involved.
In spite of the effort, it was a fun project and we look forward to filming more in the near future. Hopefully the end result was worth it.

So me (James) and a couple of my Photographer dude friends took a trip first up the side of a mountain to a place called Symmes Chapel to watch the sunrise. Which was more a fogrise. Through rain, carsickness and a collision with a large tree limb we made it. We then journeyed to downtown Greenville, SC to photowalk some more and have coffee.
I captured clips throughout the day to pull together into a montage of the day. Enjoy!
