Natalie + Jake | Whimsical DIY Wedding
Natalie and Jake got married under some gorgeous trees at the Rose Hill Colleton Point Pavilion in Bluffton, SC. Bluffton is a little town right outside of Hilton Head Island, SC. This venue was brimming with gorgeous oak trees and is right on the water. We were blessed with some INCREDIBLE light.

We met and talked for over an hour about her wedding plans. She did just about everything herself. All the gorgeous details you see were all done by her. One of my favorite details were the wedding programs that she printed on brown paper bags. She printed the programs from her home computer and it's a great alternative to regular programs. She used the bags to serve popcorn to her guests during the ceremony. I love it. It gives the programs a purpose!

This venue was brimming with gorgeous oak trees and is right on the water. We were blessed with some INCREDIBLE light. I kept telling Natalie how gorgeous the sun was. I don't know that I've ever seen a prettier day. The weather was gorgeous and the sun was beaming. We stole away from the reception for a few minutes at sunset to take a few photos during sunset. That golden light makes me swoon!
Check out what they decided to do for their bar. It was a self-serve station! What a wonderful budget saving idea. They set up a station with various wines, a mixed drink and non-alcoholic beverages. Natalie is the queen of DIY weddings. Every detail was gorgeous and so well done. Take a look threw their gallery and get some great southern-vintage DIY wedding ideas and inspiration.
Thank you for having me Natalie and Jake! Congratulations!

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!

Mallory + Nate | Dunes West Wedding | Charleston Wedding Photographer
I am so excited to be sharing this beautiful wedding with you! Mallory and Nate are so dear to me and their wedding was beautiful from beginning to finish. I met these guys last year when I shot their Engagement session. The day ended with one of the most gorgeous sunsets I've ever seen. It was pretty overcast throughout the day, then all of a sudden the clouds parted and God shined his gorgeous golden light! I love the photo of Mallory and Nate looking out into the sunset. It wasn't a planned moment, I just think they were taking a second to truly appreciate the beauty of their wedding day...And blame it on my pregnancy hormones, but I was in tears during their "first look"! The emotion and look on their faces sum it up perfectly...I am such a big fan of "first looks"! Congratulations Mallory and Nate! I am so blessed to have been a part of your perfect wedding day. Here is to a wonderful and very blessed marriage!
