For days leading up to this beautiful October day, it was rainy. And cold. Yet, by the grace of God, the clouds parted for Christy and Jason’s wedding so they could enjoy an outdoor wedding as they dreamed of having.
So relaxed, she helped with the finishing touches of the reception hall decorations. He hustled and bustled around, a tad concerned about the black smudge he got on the side of his button-down. All those finishing touches and hustles and bustles stopped when she stepped out into the room in her wedding gown. Everything slowed down, and the rest of the night I watched as their embraces were enveloped with smiles and love that oozed from the depths of their hearts.
Christy and Jason, congratulations on such a monumental day as your wedding day. As your closest family and friends repeated throughout the night…it’s about time! 
I am honored to have captured all of your smiles and tears and joy and love and wish you nothing but those amazing emotions in abundance for the rest of your lives together.

I loved how there will little smidgens of love throughout the entire day…this just goes to show you can find love anywhere!
Jason didn’t speak for a moment when he saw Christy in her dress…he just stared at her. No speaking…just staring. *sigh*
Nothing beats a rousing a game of basketball before the big event.
Married life is heavenly bliss…and sun flare in your photo makes it 1000x better!
WORK IT Christy!!
Well helloooo there handsome.
Note to self: big bling on a cake is wickedbad.
There are moments when someone else’s flash helps out a photo…this is one of those moments.
Wait…is that Kanye? Yeah…he dropped in to let everyone know that Beyonce’s wedding was the best wedding EVER!
My favorite picture of Christy from the day…she’s so smitten and I can’t help but adore it (and slightly envy it).

Whoever said that post-wedding season wasn’t busy was a big fat liar-pants. Grateful as ever, am I, for the talents He’s provided me.
As of January 1, 2010 my prices and packages will be changing. It’s about that time when my prices need to reflect the product I’m providing and the competition I have in my area. I’m excited to showcase my new packages and get you all back on-location for some fantastic photos!!
In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled. Tomorrow brings a sneak preview of a beautiful October wedding…
love (that it gets darker sooner…not!),

It was one of those weekends you just can’t being to describe. Full of laughter, wine and so many tears you need the Hoover Dam to contain the water…it was, in one word, fantastic.
If there was any hesitation of their love for each other…this weekend removed all doubt.

No worries! You’ll see their faces by the end of the weekend when I showcase theirs and my first OpLove session!!
In case you were wondering who is one of the cutest pups on the planet…now you know. Jazzamine, the sweetest Beagle mix you’ve ever laid eyes on, is the proud owner of owned by my friend (and Matron of Honor) Jenna.
Jazzamine enjoys embedding her paws with clay, chewing on randoms that have blown into her yard care of the fantastic South Carolina winds and nuzzle up underneath her Momma’s chin when she’s spent after the days events.

This post showcases a different kind of engagement session. In fact, it’s not really an engagement session at all. My photography services extend beyond your average wedding-related shindigs, family sessions, etc. Have a fun birthday party you’d like to have documented? I’m your girl. Do you want a sober person to be around for your bachelorette party? I’m your girl. Do you want your Photographer Dad to be able to enjoy himself at his daughter’s engagement party and be seen in photos? I was Claire and Jake’s girl for this one and can be for you as well, should you need me.
Claire and Jake, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to 1) meet your AMAZING family and 2) document such a special event for the two of you. Good luck on your wedding planning festivities and your lives together. With your tender-hearted personality, Jake, and your contagious smile and giggles, Claire, the two of you are an unstoppable team and I just appreciate more than anything you giving me such an evening to share with you.

This is the beautiful tent Claire’s family set up next to their home for additional seating and festivities. Gorgeous!!
All smiles and jokes, these two!
The story behind the photo: Claire’s Mom (left) was re-proposed to the night prior to this engagement party by Claire’s Father. How sweet!! Her and Claire are like two lovesick brides-to-be, together!!
Hooray! I fit everyone in the photo!!
