I Do: Tom & April, Boone Hall Wedding Charleston SC

It is always a good day shooting at the beautiful Boone Hall Plantation. Add two amazing laid back clients who love each other and this photographer couldn't be happier. Tom and April brought all their closest friends and family to Charleston to witness their vows under the majestic old oaks. April's aunt officiated and the talented ladies over at Yoj Events handled all the exquisite details. The ring bearer and flower girl may have just stolen my heart...I couldn't take their photo enough. It was a perfect day despite looming storm clouds and blustery wind... we didn't see a drop of rain. Special thanks to the talented Rachel Red for second shooting along with my spring intern Andrea Porter. Enjoy some of my favorites. 

I Do:Alan & Jenny, Beaufort SC Wedding

Jenny and Alan planned their big day around a sentimental oak tree from Jenny's childhood. It was a sweet backyard wedding under the magestic oak with a reception to follow. I so enjoyed my time with these two and just the laid back feel of the day...we felt like family more than we did "the photographers" so thankyou. My spring intern Andrea Porter from over at Shoot the Moon Photography joined me despite having her wisdom teeth removed the day before (I know I know...her choice not mine...she's just a hard charger) and I cannot say thank you enough. Enjoy the special images from this sweet day. 

 

Spring Mini Sessions are Coming!!!

I wanted to share a special opportunity that ESP is offering up in a few weeks. We will be doing an afternoon of mini sessions in the park with 100% of every penny going to help a local Charleston family adopt their son from China. They're in the final home stretch and they have worked hard fundraising and this will help get them the rest of the way! We have already shared this on some social media but there are a few spots left in the afternoon. If we get enough interest I will extend the shooting time into the evening hours if necessary. I want to bless the socks off this family so let's make it happen! You need to email ASAP to reserve your spot!

I Do: Derek & Lindsay; Connie Maxwell Baptist Church Wedding, Greenwood, SC

Rain. Drizzle. Cold. Fog. We had it all on Derek and Lindsay's big day. But a chilly rainy and drizzly January day couldn't dampen this wedding. Derek and Lindsay just exude a joy that comes from deep inside. They're precious to be around and they made their day feel like sunshine even if we never saw a drop of it. Lindsay and Derek chose Connie Maxwell Baptist Church in Greenwood to tie the knot. The praise choir from Erskine College where Derek works sang as guests entered and the sound could just send chills down your spine....unbelievable worship! Definitely a memory I will never forget. The day felt truly perfect start to finish...and their first look just makes me smile from ear to ear. I know a lot of couples worry that it will make the walk down the aisle "less special". But every moment was a new one with these two and their love and excitement for each other was just a joy to photograph. Enjoy some of my favorites from this sweet couples forever I do.
