Harrison & Lauren, Bluffton Wedding Photography

Lauren may have been one of my most laid back brides...ever. There I said it. It's true. Cool as a cucumber and just excited to walk down the aisle to Harrison. Their Beaufort ceremony and Bluffton reception was not only picture perfect but also just filled with beautiful moments and wonderful people. I've had the privilege now of shooting a few weddings within this circle of friends and every one of them has left me feeling blessed beyond words that I get to call what I do a job. It was a pretty special day and I think the images will show how much fun we had. The reception was graciously hosted at the home of family friends of the bride and their backyard just happened to back up to breathtaking river views accompanied by the field of my photography dreams for photos on our way in. Oh heavens. Oh and for any of you brides wondering if you can "get away with more greenery" at your reception...the answer is yes...a million yes. See for yourself- the wild greenery with gorgeous gold accents at the reception was just so beautiful! Thanks you two for trusting me and my team with your memories! Oh and huge huge thanks to Hunter and Jared for their tireless work shooting beside me in the lowcountry heat! Enjoy some of my favorites from this special day!

Matt and Heather, Boone Hall Plantation Engagement Photography

I love when my job brings me back full circle into friends lives again. The last time I photographed Heather was probably our staff head shots for our high school's newspaper. Now years later she is happily engaged to a kind handsome guy named Matt and lucky me gets to document them both here in the lowcountry for their engagement and up in the mountains of NC for their wedding! We had a lot of fun capturing their love out at Boone Hall Plantation with their precious pup in tow. I mean he had his own bow tie. Come on. I can't wait for next May! Enjoy some of my favorites!

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!
