The end of September was so beautiful this year! Nice warm days, a slight breeze into the afternoons, and gorgeous sunsets! Each of these things was exactly how Aurora & Mark's wedding day turned out to be! As a photographer I could not have been happier! The two of them were so excited to get married, and so in love! I could feel their love and emotion while looking through my lens and was thrilled to be capturing their day. Part of what made the day even more special was being able to include Mark's daughter Mia in some of the bride and groom portraits at sunset! She was loving every minute of it and I know Mark and Aurora will hold those couples minutes, while I stole them away from their reception, near and dear to their hearts.

There is just something so magical about the wedding day! It is a day that the bride and groom have been waiting all year (sometimes more or less) for. Everything comes together so beautifully, everyone has fun, some people laugh, some people cry; and I just absolutely love to capture all of that on camera! That is exactly how David & Tamara's Wedding was, and I absolutely loved it! Leading up to the wedding Tamara and I met up a couple times, did her bridals, went over the wedding and all the while her father was very sick and had to take multiple trips to the hospital. Closer to the wedding as the two of us were finalizing the day she told me Kelli I do not think he is going to make it to the wedding. Staying strong she said my Uncle will be walking me down the aisle but we are going to try and have my dad there one way or another. When I arrived to The City Club on wedding day I was taken by surprised when I walked in to start taking pictures of the ceremony and saw an iPad on the sand ceremony table. Not really understanding I figured it might be something for the pastor to read off of (our pastor at church uses one on Sundays), and did not think anything more. Later on as the ceremony began, I realized that the iPad was propped up and that FaceTime was going! They were face timing with her father from his hospital bed so that he could be a part of the ceremony! It was such a sweet thing to do and I could not believe it. (See the pictures below) I know that although her father is still not in the best health that she will have a great and beautiful love story to share about not only marrying David, but also how her dad was able to be a part of their big day!

Sometimes when you meet people, you just instantly know your are going to be perfect for each other. That is exactly how it was with Jean & Cassidy. I remember going home from our consultation thinking about how much fun the two of them were and how excited I would be if they chose me to photograph their big day. We met in the evening and by the next morning I had already gotten the call that they chose me and was so honored! I also love when a bride keeps me in the loop on all things wedding, after all us girls love to know all the details, and Jean did that with me from the beginning. So when the wedding came I knew exactly what the day would look like and what shots I wanted to take, and the two of them gave me the creative ability to do my own thing! And the proof of that is in all the beautiful fun images below! Their wedding turned out gorgeous, and although it rained in the morning and we had to make a slight change in plans for the seating at the ceremony, the sun came out for a bit and gave us the most gorgeous sky! Jean and Cassidy are truly some of the most beautiful people I know, both inside and out; and their love for Christ before each other shows in the way they outwardly show their love for each other. I am so excited to see what the future holds for them! <3 yah Photography

It’s amazing to me how fast a year can actually go by. When first meeting David & Tamara in early 2012 it seemed like June 2013 was forever away. Then when Tamara and I got together to do her beautiful bridals we realized that June would be here before you know it…. And it did! Today is the day, and I am so happy for the two of them! I cannot wait to share in their big day, and am so happy that I can finally share her gorgeous bridal pictures with you!
Mcconnells, South Carolina Wedding Photographer | Allison & Drew | yah Photography /
When I first met Drew & Allison, I knew we would all get along perfectly. It was only a couple months before the wedding and as I got to know Allison more I could tell her unconditional love for Drew. Once arriving the day of the wedding and talking with Drew, through the getting ready, groomsman pictures, and all of the rest I could tell that he was in love with Allison just as deeply. Throughout the rest of the day it was evident both on camera and to everyone attending the wedding how much the two of them meant to each other. I could not pick out two people more right for each other! I wish Allison and Drew all the happiness in the world, and loved every minute of their beautiful wedding!
