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!

If you have never stumbled across the amazing blog Wordless News you must go have a look. It is the brainchild of my good friend and designer Maria Fabrizio and it. is. fabulous. Her talents got the attention of NPR and she now does illustrative work for their program Morning Edition. The good folks at NPR did a feature on Maria a couple of years ago, and they are working on another one. When she called to ask if I would help document her creative process for the feature, I could not wait to get started. Maria + NPR = two of my favorite things.

What a truly beautiful, heartfelt, sincere, and fun wedding this was. I loved every single thing about it. The gorgeous florals, her dress with a blush underlay, the high-energy super-fun band, and can we please talk about the food truck that served grilled cheeses?! I really hope more couples jump on that food truck bandwagon, because it was amazing. Katie and Jonathan are so good together, so loving and thoughtful to each other and those around them. I loved how laid back they were and not afraid to have impromptu dance parties. It was an absolute pleasure to get to know them and share in this day with so many great people.

Hanging out with this family is always a super fun adventure and I look forward to it every time. We wanted to do a sort of 'day in the life' session to capture who their family is right now, doing the things they love together. What does that look like when you have two charismatic, energetic, fun-loving boys? Well… there are a lot of trampoline-jumping, frog-catching, rock-skipping, zip-lining, hammock-swinging, stick-poking, stair-climbing, tree-swatting, piggy-back riding adventures. And tons of laughter. I loved every minute of it (and slept really well that night, haha). Hats off to you, Beki and Will, for raising such fine young men and having such a blast doing it. xoxo

I have been dreaming of doing this session with my littles for a long time. Dreaming of making these sweet photographs for them to look at when they are teenagers and fighting over the car they will likely share. And for me to look at when we drop them off at college. And hopefully, one day, for their children to look at. I love being able to create something that is part of a family's legacy. Both for my clients and for myself. The days are long and the years are short when you have small children. I want to always remember these days.
