Matt + Christi were married on 7.17.17, on a warm Monday morning at The Lake House at Lake Carolina in Columbia, SC. As I drove Christi to her first look with Matt, she was squealing with joy and freaking out in the best way. You see, Matt and Christi decided to save themselves physically for marriage. They put up safeguards to insure that they would remain pure during their courtship, and the biggest one was that they would not kiss before their wedding day.  They decided to share their first kiss during their private first look on the lake. As I drove Christi to meet Matt, she was just SO excited to finally kiss him. She had waited her whole life for this day.  I do not think I have ever had the privileged of photographing a more excited bride!

Their reception was absolutely beautiful! There were so many talented friends and family members that contributed to making their reception absolutely adorable and perfect.  Even God chipped in with a beautiful double rainbow!

Featured on the blog today are Matt + Katie. These two lovebirds met in 2012 and over a period of multiple months became really good friends. Eventually they both realized they had feelings for each other and now 5 years later they are planning their wedding. They are an adorable couple with personalities that perfectly compliment the other.  Katie is so energetic, beautiful, and fun. Matt is the strong quiet type with a very generous spirit. I have liked them from the moment I met them. I absolutely loved shooting their engagement session and am counting down the days until their wedding (FYI…it is in 180 Days)!

David + Caroline were married in downtown Greer, SC on May 13th at the Cannon Center, which is part of City Hall.  They were married in front of the gazebo and the pond. It was beautiful! We were afraid the weather was going to be bad that day, but the sun came out before the wedding and lasted the rest of the day.

Today I had the pleasure of shooting one of the most wonderful weddings I have ever shot. It is an incredible story of love and redemption, one of the coolest I have ever heard.  This story is about Houston and Whitney who have been together since she was 17 years old.

Edwin & Megan were married at the lovely Lindsey Plantation in Taylors, SC on April 9, 2017. They were married on top of a hill with a beautiful cross behind them. This wedding is really special for SO many reasons, but first let me tell you why this wedding was special to me. Megan was […]

I was speaking to one of the bridesmaids just today from Christian and Megan’s wedding. She said, “Their wedding was perfect. They are just so in love. They are the kind of couple that makes you believe in love, marriage, and all that stuff. You can just tell they are real.”  I could not have said […]

  Pretty Place is the location that Natraj proposed to me almost a year ago. Now we are getting married 3 weeks from today! So you know why Pretty Place is special to me, but it is also special to these two because it is the place where Brett proposed to Mia. These two had an […]

These two met almost a decade ago when they were in Myrtle Beach, SC working at the same breakfast restaurant. She was the new girl that he totally crushed on. When he finally mustered the courage to ask for her number, she gave it to him. However, he had to come back and ask for it again a few minutes later when he lost the number in his excitement. After that it only took a few weeks for them to be inseparable, and only a few weeks more before they each realized that they had found the one they were going to spend their whole life loving. They have spent years together and finally decided it was time to make forever official. 

  When I woke up this morning, I knew today’s wedding was going to be epic. It is a challenge to put into words just how inspired I was when shooting Brett & Mia’s wedding. This couple was naturally the life of the party and was thrilled to be together, but today… today was something […]
