Spring really is just around the corner! I’m feeling it! So if Kathryn from the fabulous wedding blog, Snippet and Ink, who just ran a gorgeous Spring wedding of mine. Jacqueline and Brian were married at the historic Governor Thomas Bennett House in April. Cruise on over to Snippet and Ink to see!

I’m sitting at my computer editing away when I just had to stop and smile. I love my job and all the serendipitous moments that I encounter in my work. How fun is this moment? I was out at the gorgeous Magnolia Plantation with December bride and groom, Michelle and Brian, when this lovely little donkey popped by for a visit. I think he was just feasting his eyes on Michelle’s gorgeous white peonies! More from this gorgeous wedding in a bit!

Elisabeth, of the brand-spankin’ new Elisabeth Toms Weddings and Events, called to ask if I could take a few shots at her launch party in November. I was thrilled! I had a wonderful time seeing old friends and meeting new ones! The ladies over at Weddings Unveiled Magazine just ran some of the shots on their sumptuous wedding blog, Completely Unveiled. Here are just a few shots. To see more cruise on over to their blog, Weddings Unveiled Magazine.

I was delighted to see spring bride and groom, Ashley and Craig’s, images on Southern Weddings Blog! Ashley and Craig had a lovely wedding on Kiawah Island’s gorgeous River Course. The gals over at Southern Weddings loved Ashley’s use of pink and navy - so southern and sweet!

I loved seeing what Perry and Shawn did with their engagement portraits we shot downtown Charleston! Check out their lovely YouTube video. What fun!

Ok… so I know it has been forever since I gave this blog a little love! All for the best reasons though! I’ve had a crazy busy year out shooting some of the most amazing weddings and working for some of the most wonderful couples. I’m truly grateful for the work I’ve had this year! I’ve been all over shooting weddings in Tennessee, Newport, Rhode Island, Nantucket Island, and of course, my lovely Charleston! I promise to spend a whole weekend over the holidays posting all those lovely weddings and paying homage to some of the talented wedding planners I’ve had the chance to work with!

Until then, I want to share my excitement over my new proof albums. They are bigger, better, and all together far more lovely! The pages allow for larger images per page and the wrap around cover is all photo! Here are a few pics of the proof album I created for Debbie and Clay’s September wedding.

I thought I’d post a few shots of one of my albums so that you can see first hand just how gorgeous they are! This is Kristina and Chris’ wedding album. They ordered the 9.5 x 13 leather bound album with linen pages. I love the soft elegant feel of the linen pages! Notice the amazing fully-panoramic pages! In the world of wedding albums, this is cutting edge. This allows for the page to be ALL image instead of two individual sides of images. The last few images are the smaller canvas Parent’s Albums I offer. They utilize the same fully-panoramic pages.

I was delighted when the editors at Charleston Weddings told me they were running photos from this wedding! Megan was one of the sweetest brides on earth and I loved working with her! She enlisted the help of amazing floral designer Annie, with A New Leaf Studio who does phenomenal work! You can read about how she and Annie came up with her classically elegant flowers and decor. I loved Megan’s quote in the article:

“I wanted to be able to look back on our pictures years from now and feel like it happened yesterday”

I hope you feel that way too Megan - because that is something I strive to give clients in my work! Congrats again!

p.s. that gorgeous cover photo is by the amazingly talented Peter Frank Edwards!

Holly and Phillip’s gorgeous summer wedding just made it onto the pages of Southern Weddings Magazine’s blog!  Holly and Phillip had a beautiful wedding at The First Baptist Church and then they moved to the Cotton Dock at Boone Hall Plantation for their reception. I loved Holly’s use of yellows and reds! So vibrant and fun! Oh, and Holly used Megan from Luke Wilson Special Events for her  gorgeous florals and event decor!

I just saw that Kathryn & Michael’s fall Uptown Rustic wedding is being featured on Charleston Weddings Magazine’s new blog!
