I Do: Brian & Megan Hendersonville Wedding Photography

Happy Thanksgiving!! I am sitting here watching the parade re-living the magic of my childhood with my kiddos and just feeling super thankful for all the blessings in our life. This wedding I am sharing with you today makes me smile from ear to ear. It's the kind of wedding that stirs up thankfulness for me. I am thankful I get to do a job I love that I truly do smile laugh and sometimes cry doing because I love seeing the emotions moments and memories of a wedding day unfold. I get to help people remember that- amazing! Megan and Brian's Camp Pinnacle wedding truly captured their down to earth adventuresome personalities.  It was a joy capturing the joy and beauty.  As I prepared and narrowed the images to share here today I started to worry that beautiful image after beautiful image may just start to feel like too much! The golden hour canoe ride...the gorgeous fall mountain foliage...two super smiley people who look like they just won the lottery...and the fiery sunset. Oh the sunset wait until you see it. You may think I altered the colors or "created" the punch of color in the sky...I assure you I didn't. It was majestic. Every moment when you thought it couldn't get more beautiful it did. Truly a beautiful gift from the Lord for these two. I hope you enjoy some of my favorites from this special day with some truly special people.

I Do: Dan & Ashleigh Corley Mill Wedding Photography

  I'm back. Yes, I am still here. Yes, my doors are still open. I have gotten those questions a lot lately. I cannot believe how long this blog has sat quiet. It has been difficult life season for us and when life gets a little too loud sometimes we are forced to slow down and get quiet.  Our family has had some health issues this past year along with my husband starting graduate school for counseling and we have been forced to make some things smaller and my business was one of them. As part of slowing down and healing we have also moved to Columbia, SC. I am slowly relocating and building some business now here as well. I am learning a new stride and even seeing the beauty in this season of surrendering and resting.

    I am sharing something truly near and dear to my heart today which feels like a perfect "comeback post". I adore these two humans. They are also family...but I would choose them even if they weren't. Daniel, my nephew, I have known since I think he was nine! I cried my way through Dan and Ashleigh's wedding day (don't worry images remained in focus). It was hard not to. These two are the real deal...honest live your moments kind of people and it was easy to get lost in their day. It made my heart and soul come alive. So many moments of surrender, sacrifice and love. I pray it's what these two are always about. I have loved watching their journey and I love that because we are family I get to continue beside them in the years to come. 

I hope you not only see some of their best moments but feel like you were there as well. Enjoy some of my favorites from their Corley Mill Wedding.

I Do: Travis & Emily Columbia SC Wedding Photography

So so much to catch up on and I couldn't think of a better way to start than with Travis and Emily's beautiful 701 Whaley wedding in Columbia. The blush tones of the bridesmaids dresses mixed perfectly with the groomsmen's dapper black tuxedos. The gorgeous bouqets were filled with peonies and anemones and were both striking and delicate all at the same time. I cannot wait for you to see! Travis and Emily's ceremony was set for after dark so they agreed to a first look and I just adored capturing that moment between them. These two were a dream to work with and we truly felt like we were just spending the day with friends and family. Enjoy some of my favorites from this special day!

 

I Do: Sam & Carolyn Charleston SC Wedding Photography

I knew from the moment Carolyn and I spoke on the phone that we were kindred spirits...then she said her fiancés name was Sam...and I was sure were were a great match. My husband and I named our first born Sam and we have a theory that you never meet a Sam you don't like. They're just good men. Carolyn's Sam is surely no exception. These two could not have been more delightful wonderful and fun loving. Their wedding day was pretty perfect...and we even got to dip our toes in the sand before the reception. Sam and Carolyn tied the knot at The Church of the Nativity near Folly Beach with a reception at Founders Hall. The ladies at ELM Events made my job a dream as always with a perfectly run schedule and gorgeous details. Enjoy some of my favorites from this sweet day!
