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!

Rock The Dress. Michael & Christina, Charleston SC Photography

Perfect timing on this post today as these two love birds celebrate their one year anniversary. Michael and Christina tied the knot in Liberty, SC last year, but wanted some images in Charleston where they call home. We went for a bit more of an urban feel to contrast their perfectly rustic wedding. I formerly called these "trash the dress" sessions. But realized after this shoot that it's really more of a play session and by no means are we ruining beautiful gowns! We're just giving you a chance to "rock them" :). So here are a few favorites of two of my favorite people. Cheers! 

 

I Do: John & Jacki. The Inn at Palmetto Bluff, Hilton Head Island SC

A gorgeous wedding long over due to share with you today. John and Jacki's wedding was full of soft delicate details. Blues, greens and gold colors throughout with hints of a nautical theme was a perfect fit for these two. The Inn at Palmetto Bluff was a dream location...holy beautiful their backdrops are stunning. Enjoy a few favorites from the day. Special thanks as always to Melissa with Suggs Photography for second shooting and capturing everything so beautifully.
