On the same day and time as her grandmother's wedding, and wearing the same dress that her grandmother and mother wore, Lauren married Nick at the church she grew up in. It was heartfelt and touching and full of so many sentimental details. I witnessed tears of joy, a ton of laughter, and so many smiling faces throughout the day. It truly was a joy to be a part of and I'm so grateful to the sweet Teague family for having me. Wishing you many blessings Lauren and Nick, and a lifetime of love and laughter!

I had the best time working with this couple and their dream of a vendor team! Everything about their wedding was perfect and so much fun. And, I'm so glad they chose to have their ceremony in front of the house (the first couple to get married in that spot!).
Bryn and Ryan had a long engagement so Bryn could finish law school, which gave them time to thoughtfully choose each element of their wedding day and really personalize everything. I loved every single detail... the stunning florals, incredible dessert table, delicious food, stylish dresses, striped linens, alfresco dining, the caricature artist... there was even a charcuterie table with a Chicken Man painting of their tandem bike! All set against the beautiful and magical backdrop of Wavering Place Plantation. It was perfection and I'm grateful to everyone who worked hard to bring this dream to life.
Bryn and Ryan, thank you for being so amazing and fun to work with, for always trusting your team, for your incredible vision and style, and most importantly, for being wonderful people to be around. I'm not gonna lie, I'm sad that it's over, but I'm excited to see your journey as a married couple! xoxo

Weddings at City Roots Farm are my jam. Add to that a fabulous couple whose vision for their day is built upon love, family, a sense of community and connection, and locally sourced amazing food, and basically I've died and gone to heaven.
Natalie and Anthony were a dream to work with. Every detail of their day was thoughtful, intentional, and a perfect reflection of who they are. I loved that Anthony's best friend Alex officiated the wedding, just as Anthony had done for him. And hats off to the incredible Farm to Table Event Company's team who made sure everything was gorgeous and perfect.

Everyone who works in the wedding industry understands that back up plans are a way of life. But when there is a hurricane headed straight for your wedding day... back up plans, umbrellas, extra site visits, equipment rain gear, and creative thinking are also essential. When I spoke with Natalie a few days before her wedding about moving all portraits to a different location, she could not have been more positive and gracious. She was super calm and simply said, "I trust you, whatever you think is best." Best words I could ever hear.
As I walked into the gorgeous house the bridal party was getting ready in, I forgot about the weather and soaked in the warm, energized room full of smiling faces. Natalie and Brad have the best families and friends and everyone was so full of joy.
The entire day was perfect and smooth and stunningly beautiful. Her team of vendors, led by the extraordinary Meagan Warren, made sure everything was flawless *and* the rain even cleared for a few portraits during the reception. It truly was the best day ever! Take that Hurricane Matthew. ;)
Natalie and Brad, I just love y'all and your families and I'm so honored to have spent this amazing day with you! xoxo

Shannon grew up vacationing on Pawley's Island with her family, so when it came time to pick a venue for their wedding, she already knew the perfect spot. Hopsewee Plantation sits on the Santee River, dates back to the 1700's, and is completely magical with its old oak trees and Spanish moss. Shannon used to be a professional dancer so they surprised their guests with a choreographed first dance and, I have to say, it was my favorite moment of the day. They were so graceful together and such a joy to watch. Shannon and Dan, thank you both for bringing me along on your beautiful journey and being so great to work with every step of the way! Hugs!
