Lake Lure Inn & Spa Wedding Photography | Jean & Cassidy | yah Photography

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

Ivy Place Engagement Photography | Whitney & Andrew | yah Photography

It always makes me smile when someone tells me they love my work, because everything has a more candid feel and is not so “posey” but what a lot of people do not realize is that almost every shot has to start out in some sort of pose with a lot of direction. We are all not naturally smooth and candid, we feel awkward behind a camera especially because someone is watching our every move. With Andrew and Whitney this was the exact case. During our initial meeting, Andrew told me he didn’t want to be standing there putting their hands in the shape of hearts, and looking at each other with cheesy faces… and my response was “just trust me”. During the session I kept telling him just trust me and pulled out a variety of tricks I had under my sleeve to get the exact expressions I wanted, and their pictures turned out AMAZING! I cannot wait for their wedding next year in Charleston, the two of them will be just as much fun to work with down there!

City Club - Charlotte, NC Bridal Photography| Tamara | yah Wedding 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!

McDowell Nature Preserve Engagement Photography | Charlotte, NC | Suzanne & Tyler

Suzanne and Ty are adorable together! Suzanne picked the McDowell Nature Preserve as the location for their engagement session because it is one of her all time favorite places to be, and because that is where Ty proposed. She picked out a couple places that meant the most to her, and let me go from there! I wanted to really capture her fun loving spirit and super cute laugh, as well as Ty's adoration for his fiance  When we got to the lake and the spot where Ty actually proposed, the sky opened up and everything turned out beautifully! I can't wait to Photograph their beautiful wedding!
