I Do: Steve & Stacey, Old Wide Awake Plantation SC Wedding

After a few months off it is that time again...wedding season has begun. What a way to kick off the start of this year with Stacey and Steve's Old Wide Awake Plantation wedding. What an unbelievable venue! That mixed with a fun loving sweet couple= happy happy happy (yes- totally acceptable Duck Dynasty reference). My talented friend Melissa with Suggs Photography made the trip down to offer her rediculous skills second shooting. So many unbelievable vendors that truly deserve recognition. Wildflowers for the gorgeous floral decor...Duvall Catering for their delicious food. And then two folks that deserve some serious praise in my book- Mike Winship for running such a smooth wedding day (as always)! And then Stacey's sister...for serving as MOH after giving birth to a baby six days prior (um yes seriously). Ok now on to some of my favorite images! Enjoy!! 

 

I Do: Will & Meagan, Sewee Preserve Wedding, Awendaw SC

I feel like I start every post with an apology....sorry for not blogging anything in the time I feel like I should. I've kinda decided that it's time to let that go. I feel like it's living in a sea of regrets...and life is too short and beautiful for that. Sure I wish I could blog things right after they happen...yes in practice I think it should always be that way! But then I am jolted back into my reality which is that I chase the sweetest little almost ten month old boy all over my house all day....I put his happiness above my own and productivity these days looks like keeping him alive, bathed, and in bed happy and healthy at the end of the day. I am ok with that. And now for proof that I am ok with that.....this post....one of the most epic and beautiful wedding from 2012....and you are not going to believe I could even stand to not blog it before now! Will and Meagan tied the knot at Sewee Preserve in Awendaw. What a venue. It's just a beautiful pallet to take and make your own. Ooh Events handled all the details...and let me tell you they were beautiful. Cru Catering provided the most delicious southern eclectic fare...which of course included their famous chicken and waffles. Yum. This sweet southern couple could not have been more fabulous to work with and their families made me feel at home even if I was technically working. A big thanks to the talented Reese Moore for stepping in and shooting with me. Enjoy just a few favorites from the big day. 

I Do: Derek and Erica. Charleston SC Wedding Photography

A sweet sweet wedding to share with you today. Beautifully elegant details- a breathtaking bride in a gorgeous dress and emotions galore. Just a wonderful day filled with many memories. I loved how Erica and her mom designed a sign for the reception with distances traveled by guests, that and the burlap pillows with their wedding date were perfect touches at the Creek Club at Ion. Derek and Erica also incorporated their nickname "Derica" onto the wedding favors- it's funny by the end of the night I found myself accidentally putting their names together- it just works! Enjoy some of my favorites from a special day with a truly exceptional couple! 

I Do: Sam & Julia. Charleston, SC Wedding Photography

We're going back in time today so I can catch you back up with where we have been! In the midst of adjusting to life with my sweet little boy we just had to put a few blog posts on hold. This was my first wedding back after having Sam in May. Incidentally the groom's name- Sam- and yes something about watching him dance with his Mom (who he clearly adored) during their first dance had me totally in tears behind my camera. Sam and Julia are two people you could probably hang out with for 10 minutes and feel like you were friends. They are warm and endearing, and their wedding day was a lot of fun. Mike with Winship Productions handled all the details for a perfectly smooth day. Oh and yes the highlight of the day for me- cutest ring bearer ever. I mean a full on sprint down the aisle with "the rings"...followed by a moment of utter confusion once he delivered them wondering where to go- and then finishing his grand debut with a sprint back up the aisle. Holy cuteness overload. Such a wonderful day filled with wonderful people. Loved the spanish moss and cafe lights at the reception- all the details simply elegant. Enjoy some of my favorites!
