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.

I Do: Caleb & Abbie Wed, River Oaks Charleston Wedding

True statement...I had to sit here and think a minute when I logged into my blog account as to what my password was. That my friends is when you know...it's been too long. It's good to be back. And trust me you wont mind that I've been gone for the holidays once you see the beauty I am about to share. What a wedding. Truly perfect from start to finish. Perfect couple...perfect style...perfect location. I can't complain. I truly believe what made this day so special though was not the unbelievable decor and design (which never hurts) but the true joy, beauty, peace, patience and love of these two wonderful people. Abbie and Caleb made documenting their love and their day just plain easy. Now- there is some serious beauty in this post. Amazing dresses...gorgeous flora with a hint of down to earth rustic. Also, enjoy some of their wonderfully fun ideas like hot poured pralines and milk as a nightime snack(Caleb's favorite)...an oyster bar as a late night treat for guests...a penny wishing jar for guests to write them a note and then send them a well wish. Truly too much to list it all- but enjoy the beautiful images of a magical day. Special thanks to the talented Carmen Ash for her beautiful work assisting me on this day!

I Do:Jonathan & Meg. William Aiken House. Charleston SC Weddings

Looking at images of this couple truly just makes me smile. There was so much joy on this wedding day. The way that Jon and Meg cherish each other is just so evident. Jon graduated from the Citadel and so these two planned a downtown Charleston wedding around tying the knot at the beautiful Summerall Chapel. The reception followed at the William Aiken House downtown. Instead of a photo booth for guests to remember the night by, a silhouette artist was brought in to cut portraits of guests for a special guest book. Such a cool idea! Every detail of the day just fell into place perfectly! Also I have to give some praise to the band- Loose Chain- wow. I have never worked with these talented folks at a wedding before- and I must say I was blown away. Hands down one of the best bands I have had the pleasure of working along side. Special thanks to Chelyse with Intrigue Design & Events for keeping the night flowing smoothly. Also to my talented friend and second shooter Carmen Ash for joining me on this special day. Enjoy some of my favorites!
