Angela + Joe | Magnolia Plantation and Gardens | Wedding

No matter how many times I may shoot at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, I seem to fall in love with it even more every time I get to shoot a wedding there. Meet the beautiful Angela and wonderful Joe. This couple was just beaming with joy throughout their entire wedding day. Angela contacted me about shooting her wedding and from her very first email I knew I was going to love working with her! I felt like I was photographing a best friend. She was natural, wonderful and calm throughout the whole day. She really trusted me and let me shoot what came natural. It was a wonderful experience! They had some very cool details throughout their wedding decor. Joe folded hundreds (maybe thousands) of origami cranes, which is a symbol of good luck, and they hung all throughout the wedding reception. Angela sent some home with me at the end of the night to hang in our baby-to-be's nursery (I told you she was wonderful!). Make sure to check out the grooms cake...AWESOME! Congratulations to the wonderful couple. May you both be blessed beyond measure in your marriage to one another!

Sharon & Tom | Charleston After-Wedding Session | Charleston Wedding Photographer

Yesterday was Veteran's Day, and this post is in honor of all those who have and who continue to serve our country. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. It does not go unnoticed. Sharon and Tom met in college, where Tom took a fancy to her pretty quickly. Sharon, on the other hand, was uninterested, thinking Tom was just another frat boy. Soon after giving in to hanging out with him one day, her heart began to melt and soften towards Tom, realizing he was a very humble soul who made her laugh and giggle (which is very important, ladies!). The two began dating and decided to get married just before Tom left for Afghanistan for a year. When he got back, they decided to experience the whole newlywed adventure - they went on their long-awaited honeymoon, and decided to get their wedding portraits taken, which they traveled to Charleston for. What an honor it was to take photos for this beautiful couple! Thank you, Sharon and Tom, for choosing me to capture the beauty of your marriage! And a special thank you to Tom for his service. What a sacrifice this couple has made to be together. That is true love, my friends.
