Caitlin + Joe :: Lace House wedding Columbia, SC

August 14, 2016

What an absolute treat this wedding was to photograph! From the gorgeous details to the heartfelt outdoor ceremony to the amazing couple and their family and friends, I loved every moment. Caitlin and Joe planned their wedding from Oklahoma, so we only had one face-to-face before their big day. I knew right away that I was going to love working with them! They are a fabulous couple and I'm so grateful for the endless trust and creative freedom that they always gave me. Even when the rain forced their reception indoors, their smiles and spirits were never dampened.

Caitlin and Joe, y'all will always hold a special little place in my heart and I am excited for the amazing things in your future. I wish you both endless love, happiness, and fun adventures!

Sylvie + Matthew :: Greenville SC wedding

May 12, 2016

It is such a special thing to photograph two weddings for one family. Especially when the family is as amazing as this one. I first met Sylvie when I photographed her twin sister's bridal portraits a couple of years ago and was elated when she asked me to document her wedding as well. I love these ladies and am so grateful for the wonderful experience it has been working with them and their families over the past couple of years. To know this sweet couple is to love them. Matthew is a standup guy and it only takes a few seconds to realize that he and Sylvie were meant for each other. Together, they exude joy and love and fun and are the kind of people you want to be around. I wish you two the best of the best and I can't wait to see what adventures the future holds for you. Love you both!

I just love the whole Adams family and was so honored when they asked me to document this special day for them. It was beautiful and heartwarming and full of joy and absolutely perfect. And how special that Libba's uncle Wallace (who also married Libba's parents) performed the christening! Floral crown :: Fern Studio

There's something so magical about newborn sessions that have always made them a favorite of mine. Spending time with a family that has just brought home it's newest member, when everyone is getting to know each other, figuring out the new normal, where most days are only spent sleeping and eating and establishing a routine... this is such a special time and I love having the opportunity to document it. Thank you sweet Hoey family for having me, y'all are the best, and I hope to see you again soon!
