Such a fun addition to this wedding!
Charleston artist Rachel Conley spent the reception turning a photo of the couple in front of the Gervais Street Bridge into a beautiful painting. She also brought a second canvas where guests could add their own tiny paintings for the newlyweds to keep.
Basically, everyone left the reception wanting to become an artist.

🎅Wondering what a 10 minute Santa session actually looks like?

It does not have to mean 10 full minutes on Santa’s lap. The entire studio will be filled with Christmas magic, giving us time to capture a mix of photos with Santa and without him.

We can photograph the classic Santa moments, sweet family portraits, sibling photos, or a little of everything. If your child needs time to warm up, wants a quick Santa visit, or would rather admire him from a safe distance, that is completely fine too!

These sessions are designed to be fun, flexible, and full of variety. Santa is part of the experience, but your family gets to choose how big a part he plays.

And yes, I managed to book the real Santa this year. Apparently, my North Pole connections are better than I thought. 😉

Columbia gave us a very famously hot welcome for Elena and Chad’s wedding day, but the heat did not stand a chance against the energy at Stone River.

From the sweetest moments between Elena and Chad to a bridal party that brought nonstop support, laughter, and happiness, this entire day felt like a celebration in every sense. A few meaningful Jewish traditions made it even more personal.

Beautiful weddings like this never come together by accident. So many talented people helped make Elena and Chad’s day feel effortless, memorable, and completely their own. I’m so happy to give a little love to the incredible vendor team who helped make it all happen:
