Vanessa + Tim | Pepper Plantation Wedding

Every time I photograph a wedding, I am reminded a little more why I do what I do. Vanessa and Tim's wedding was such a sweet reminder of how blessed I am to be able do what I love. This beautiful couple got married on a gorgeous November day at The Pavilion Pepper Plantation right before the most amazing Sunset.

 Their portraits under the big oak tree, at sunset, are some of my favorites I've taken. At one point Tim stopped and danced with his bride under the Big Oak and it was pure sweetness. SWOON. 

I loved that Vanessa had a hand in every little detail. She made a way for her wedding details to be personal and special to the two of them. She bought a ton of plain glassware, candle holders, birds, etc. and spray painted for weeks. She made her own gold "mercury glass" with a method she discovered on her own, with the help of her sister (and maid of honor ), while Tim watched and laughed often! The couple's dear friend, Ashley Knox, painted the bird painting for their "guest book" frame. It was also important to Tim and Vanessa that their special friends make a speech. They had fun teasing each other for weeks about whose would be better, funnier or make them cry the most! Vanessa shared with me that it was most special to her that Tim's mother and sister got ready and prepped with her and her bridal party, by their Glam Squad, with them that day. Vanessa's Great Uncle Glenn catered their amazing dinner as a gift to them, and their dear friend Melodie created the gorgeous cheese table for cocktail hour. It was so heartwarming to see how surrounded by love and support they were by their great friends and family on their special day.

Here are some of my favorite moments from their perfect wedding day. 

Congratulations Vanessa + Tim!

Denise + Adam | Historic Rice Mill Wedding | Charleston, SC

I am so excited to be sharing some sweet moments from my first 2015 wedding! Denise and Adam got married at the Historic Rice Mill in Charleston, SC. on a gorgeous and bright spring day! Adam gets major bonus points for the wedding day gift he picked out for his bride. A gorgeous bracelet from Tiffany and Co. #bestfinaceever. One of my absolute favorite moments from their wedding day was their first look at White Point Gardens. They got a moment to see each other, love on one another and just bask in the few last few moments before becoming husband and wife. I don't think I've ever seen a bride with a smile as bright as Denise when she saw Adam. The incredible ladies from Sweetgrass Social worked with Denise and Adam to perfectly plan and coordinate their wedding day. If you're still looking for a wedding planner for your big day, I recommend these ladies highly! I was also in love with the florals done by Branch Studio and Design. They were so romantic and bright! Congratulations to the sweetest couple. So happy for you both!
