Bridal Couture: The Morehead Inn, Charlotte NC

What a busy week this has been! Tuesday I had the pleasure of hanging out with a bunch of lovely ladies (hair and makeup done by the awesome Lindsay Regan Thorne of {be pretty}) and photographing some gorgeous wedding dresses (provided by J Majors Bridal Boutique)! Not to mention the beautiful ladies (Jillian, Olivia, & Whitney) who modeled them! We took over The Morehead Inn for the evening and tried out some new ideas and techniques! I had such a blast and even whipped out my new reflector* at the end and snapped a couple outside! *Review to come on this awesome reflector!

Amy: Stunning in Lace - Fort Mill, SC

Almost every bride would loved to be photographed in peach trees! Their pretty pink blooms and beautiful green leaves make their wedding dresses stand out so beautifully! Amy was no exception to this! Her dress was so gorgeous, when I saw it I was immediately in love with the lace and design. Then she pulled out her veil and I was smitten with it! This shoot was amazing and I can't wait to photograph in the trees again next year!

David & Cara: Married - Mt. Pleasant, SC

With technology today, I sometimes do not actually meet the bride until the actual wedding day! With Cara & David this was the case. Yes we talked on the phone a lot, exchanged emails, were friends on Facebook, the norm; but we had never actually met! When I pulled up to Boal's Farm, their wedding venue, I went up to David and introduced myself but didn't think to mention "your photographer" so after a couple minutes of talking I notice a complete change in David's demeanor and he laughed and said I'm sorry I just realized who you are, you are our photographer!! It made us both laugh hysterically and I knew I was going to love working with him. I then drove to downtown Charleston where Cara was getting ready and when walking in, I was immediately greeted with open arms and a hug! I couldn't have asked for a better couple to work with! I absolutely loved them both and couldn't wait to photograph their big day! The two of them met while attending the College of Charleston, but soon after grduation David whisked Cara away to Colorado; which is where they currently reside. I can tell that the chemistry between these two is one that is deep and will never fade! I can't wait to see what the future has for the two of them, and hope to see them again next time they visit Charleston! 

Sneak Peek: Matt & Laura - South Carolina Wedding Photographer

Matt & Laura are such a fun couple! They kept me laughing the whole day! I can't wait to blog the rest of their wedding to show you just how awesome they both are, but in the mean time here is a sneak peak!

Laura's Bridal Session: The Ivy Place - Van Wyck, SC

First off I want to say congrats to Matt & Laura! Their wedding was absolutely gorgeous this weekend, and the rain held off all day! Now I have the pleasure of posting her lovely bridals for everyone to see! During our session, Laura was such a good sport... it sprinkled off and on, while tiny inch worms simultaneously fell onto her and her dress! Both her mother and Genie (one of the owners of tThe Ivy Place) helped me keep Laura dry and inch worm free! (See image below) And to top it all off, during the session Laura had a bird poop on her! Luckily it graced her arm, and just missed the dress! Laura shrugged it off as good luck and we continued on. Then as we were packing up to leave a bird pooped on me! Luckily it landed on my giant head of hair, and Laura was able to help me get it out! So I guess the bird blessing both of us that day was a sign of how beautiful her wedding day would be! ;)
