Featured on the blog today is Brent and Colleen. These two were married at Ivy Hall in Atlanta on May 19th, 2018.  If you recall, this is also the day of Prince Harry’s wedding to Megan Markle. I think it is really fun to share a royal anniversary! Brent is a friend of mine from my Clemson days and he is actually the one who introduced me to my husband! Brent is such a kind and fun person and I was so glad when he found the love of his life in Colleen. I did not meet Colleen until their engagement session, which you can view HERE, but she is absolutely lovely, smart, and beautiful. I greatly enjoyed getting to know her this year!

Today on the blog is the beautiful wedding of Shaun and Maddie. They were married March 3, 2018 at The Ryan Nicholas Inn in Simpsonville. These two have known each other since K-5 and have been friends as long as they can remember. They were in the same friend group but it wasn’t until college that these two got together.

Featured on the blog todays are the lovebirds Nathaniel and Becca! They are middle/high school sweethearts and have basically known from the moment they met that one-day they would get married. They were married Friday, February 23, 2018 at the Nicholson-Mitchell Christian Ministry Center located on Southern Wesleyan’s college campus. Their reception was held at the ALIVE Wesleyan Church nearby.

I am so excited to be sharing Maddie’s bridals! Last night she married the love of her life in a beautiful ceremony at The Ryan Nicholas Inn in Simpsonville SC.  Today I am sharing her bridals that were taken at the same location. This lady is beautiful both inside and out. She is just so cheerful all time! I absolutely loved getting to know her, her sweet mother, and great friend Jordan better during her session. I hope you enjoy!

Today Natraj and I are celebrating our one-year wedding anniversary!

Our wedding day was the best day of my life. I had been planning my wedding since Pinterest started. I put in hundreds of hours planning and absolutely loved it. Other than being limited on our guest list because of our location and struggling to find my wedding dress for a bit, the planning process is the most fun I have ever had. Our wedding day was perfect in every way.  A year later and I am still in awe over how well our wedding day turned out!

Some of my favorite things about our wedding day:

– I had a white fur coat!

– We were married in a church that was over 200 years old!

– Bollywood dancing happened!

– Natraj dropped jokes in his vows!

-We were able to have a wedding that normally would have cost $20,000 for less than $10,000

– All our favorite people were present

Matt  + Katie were married on December 16, 2017 at the Upcountry History Museum in Greenville, SC. I have been looking forward to this wedding all year! This couple is truly radiant and wonderful. They are the perfect balance to each other and enjoy each other so much. They are each others biggest fan and have been together for years, but you would think that they had just fallen in love!  This couple is incredibly romantic and they everything was perfect. I have never seen a happier couple in all my life.

For their engagement we wandered the streets of Charleston and stopped at the Mill House first. We went right to the spot that Adam asked Katelyn to be his wife. Then we walked down the street to the restaurant that Adam took her on their first date and the night he proposed, 85 Queen. I love how sentimental this couple is. They are super romantic!

Thomas and Christa were married November 4th, 2017 at Grace Church Downtown. Friends and family surrounded them as they promised forever to each other. These two have been together for what seemed forever. They started dating in high school when Thomas was a senior and Christa was a junior. Everyone was thrilled to see them finally tie the knot! Grace Church Downtown is such a beautiful venue. It is a historically protected building in Greenville and was the home of First Baptist Church for many years.

There are so many beautiful places in the upstate, but one of my very favorites is Duncan Estate in Spartanburg SC. This beautiful historic home is a piece of southern charm and history. Both the inside and outside are elegant and perfect! I love every occasion I have to shoot at this gorgeous venue. Today on the blog is featured Christa. This lady was a joy to photograph.

Featured on the blog today is Joseph and Corrie. They were married on July 29th, 2017 at First Baptist Church of North, SC. I was excited to shoot this wedding for quite a few reasons: 1. I have known Joseph since college 2. When I saw Corrie’s dress during her bridal session I just could not wait for her to walk down that aisle! 3. Corrie’s mother has quickly become one of my favorite people.
