The most beautiful season is here in Charleston! Where a few streets are lined with colorful falling leaves and we feel them crunch under our feet. We get to pretend it’s fall, even though it’s toasty during our sessions. 🍂

It’s so special when your vendor friends trust you to take photos of their families. We are all so busy this time of year. We host an incredible wedding weekend, just to wake up Monday to start building the next beautiful soiree. It’s nice to carve out some time to reconnect and recharge, even if it’s while you take your holiday card photo. We have a brief vendor meal together, but spending time outside of work getting to know our industry friends more is always such a treat 🤎

Lindsey and Connor and their gorgeous beachfront celebration is one I’ll be thinking about for a long time.

From the outpouring of love by their friends and family, to the incredible sunset we witnessed for their beach portraits, their day was full of special moments.

Posey Event Design transformed the Sonesta Pavilion into a space that was inspired by a romantic Italian garden. Their guests enjoyed live music throughout cocktail hour and a fire DJ set to round out the evening. Can’t wait to share more from this day!

Georgie & Sarah’s sunset sail was full of surprises when they BOTH dropped down to one knee to propose to each other!

When they first shared their Hilton Head vacation plans, I had a feeling they both would choose the same experience to propose to each other. And they did! After separate calls with each one, I had to play it off like it was the first time I had heard of this idea! 😅

With the help of Anchors Away Sailing Charters, we were able to plan the perfect moment for them to propose. A rainstorm raced us back into the marina, but we had the most incredible views on the water for some sunset celebration portraits!

So excited for these two!

Celebrating my birthday in Costa Rica was the perfect way to end this summer 🤍

My husband planned this trip for us, and I didn’t know where we were going until we dropped our bags off at the airport! We had so much fun spending time exploring sound San Jose, riding horses to view the Irazú volcano, trying lovely cooked meals in Soda’s and by Michelin recognized chefs, and enjoying quiet mornings outside of Tapantí National Forest.

As a wedding photographer and content creator, there is a pressure to document and post everything. That meme about enjoying the rest of your vacation once you got the perfect shot, couldn’t be more true. I constantly thought of what shot would impress my colleagues and prove myself well-traveled to my fellow destination wedding vendors… and I hated feeling that way. I just wanted to enjoy my vacation. And I did!

I can only imagine the pressure our couples feel after seeing their wedding highlights and content creation roll into their email, deciding what would look great on the feed, and what moments would wow your social media presence. When that’s just a glimpse into how special your wedding day was.

Your social media feed can’t feel the wave of emotions you experience when you see all your friends and family in one room, celebrating you. Your perfectly curated 20 frames don’t reflect the expertise your photography team and fellow vendors poured in to making your day feel effortless. It’s hard for even us, the artists and designers, to showcase our favorite moments from your celebrations and our own.

I share these thoughts to remind you that your creative teams want you to feel so present on your wedding day, that you don’t even think to pull out your phone. And even I, a photographer and wedding day content creator, feel an overwhelm to get the perfect shot to share on vacation.

Taking a much needed break from work is more than just a beautiful party and a great dancefloor (which, hello, everyone needs to consider The Downtown Band for their celebration)…

From the welcome party, where I said hello and caught up with many friends and vendor partners. To the thoughtful conversations our dinner mates had at the Gala. We all left recharged and inspired for the rest of the year.

It’s nice to celebrate each other when we spend every weekend celebrating our couples. And it’s wonderful to see so much talent bring together an unforgettable evening. Thank you to WIPA North Carolina for bringing us together 🤍

What goes on in my brain while waiting to photograph a proposal at Forsyth Park 😅

There’s a lot of logistics to plan for and go over with the partner who plans on proposing. Even with a map, path, location sharing, and phone call prep, things are going to change on proposal day. It can be weather, it can be crowds, or a tricky location to find in a new destination.

We always make it happen, but it’s fun to look back at the behind the scenes leading up to the moment.

Happy Mothers Day to all the beautiful, powerful, magical mothers 🤍

Wedding day is a wonderful time to celebrate your relationship with your family. Whether it’s dedicating a dance to them, sharing a special moment with them, or honoring them throughout the day.

I am so grateful to witness such beautiful relationships grow stronger as your celebration unfolds. Wishing all the mothers a day that reflects just how much you mean to your families and radiates how special you are 🤍

In 2018, I accidentally photographed a Haldi Ceremony in JPEG. Can you tell?

Probably not. But something I noticed while revisiting these images from Ana and Abishek’s wedding weekend, is although years have passed and photography trends have changed, I still search for those raw moments that fill your gallery with excitement.

Whether it’s glances at your family during getting ready, or in this case, Abishek sharing the Haldi blessings with guests, my team and I are always on- seeking these moments that tell the story of your wedding day.

If you’re not a photographer, you may not understand why we shoot images in RAW format. It preserves all data so we can retouch the photos without issue. With a jpeg image, a lot of details cannot be recovered. So if the photos were shot in a dark space or highlights were blown out, it’s difficult to save.

An experienced photographer will expose the images properly as they shoot, which is why these jpeg files are still beautiful 8 years later.

And don’t worry, the rest of the wedding weekend I photographed it in RAW format.

When couples weave their story into their wedding, it’s sure to create a one of a kind celebration full of sentimentality.

When your family is part of a popular Savannah dining experience, why wouldn’t you invite your guests to experience dinner in the restaurant?

After a ceremony surrounded by oaks, guests enjoyed a trolley ride through the historic district that dropped them off at Daniel and Alexis’ family’s restaurant. After a carefully prepared meal, guests celebrated all night under a tent in the property’s gardens.

Elevating your wedding experience by embracing your favorite destination, honoring family history, and touching on each of the five senses, is sure to make your celebration feel so personal.
