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!

Kayla: Class of 2012 - Rock Hill High School {Senior Portrait Photographer}

 Congrats Kayla on graduating this weekend! Kayla has been a blast to work with and every photo session we both died laughing at something silly one of us did! I think it is great when I connect with my clients and they really trust me with the crazy things I tell them to do! For example, I was telling Kayla to run and throw her cap at me... she gave me the weirdest look! Then when I did it and she saw what I was doing, she was able to recreate it perfectly and we ended up with the beautiful image below that her mom put on her announcements! Reminiscing on the last year has got me really excited for our incoming seniors who will be the class of 2013! Make sure to book your session ASAP and ask about our Senior Year Package which incorporates the Senior Session, Prom, and Grad Pics like you see here! 

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! 

Pretty in Pink for Prom - Rock Hill, SC

When Kayla stepped out of the car my first thought was wow her dress rocks!! I had a hot pink dress back in the day and so her dress reminded me about all the fun times I had in high school. Kayla and her prom date Davonte' were awesome together and had me cracking up the whole time. I wanted to get their personalities to shine through the camera so we let loose and the below photo was the result! The whole afternoon was such a blast, then they were off to dinner in Charlotte with friends and then off to dance the night away back at Rock Hill High!
