We had such a fantastic time with Ashley and Chris and what a sweet day it was…  The weather was perfect and Ashley and Chris chose great wedding vendors for their day.  This made planning from Florida much easier.

The day was planned beautifully with the ladies from Shay Brown Events.  Lissa and company from Flora Event and Floral Design designed the gorgeous arrangements. Scott Thompson did a beautiful job with the makeup. And the stage was set beside Lake Toxaway for an amazing event…

On Saturday, we spent the day with Sara and Armin on Kiawah Island. They had a beautiful beach wedding with a reception at the Sand Castle. Although we hadn’t met before their wedding day; it feel like we’ve been friends with Sara and Armin for a long time… Here are a few images from their day…

Last week, we had the opportunity to photography 1 week old baby Katelynn. She was the perfect little model and photographs beautifully. Here are a couple of images from the shoot…

We really enjoyed our time with Brandon and Mary last weekend in Greensboro, NC.  Brandon is a photographer in DC and we actually met Mary at a wedding we shot a couple of years ago.  You can check out Brandon’s work at http://bwuphoto.com .  Be sure to take a look at the “live music” and “band promos” in Brandon’s portfolio.  Here are a few images from this beautiful day!

We were so excited to see Sarah and Justin’s wedding featured in the Wall Street Journal a couple of weeks ago. They ran a story on camp weddings and there on the front page, above the fold, was a shot of Sarah and Justin! Here is the story in the Wall Street Journal’s online paper…

We’ve had work in magazines and other publications, but honestly, it was pretty cool seeing a few images in the Journal…

Here are a few images from a newborn shoot with Brian Jr. He was such a great little model…

We love keeping in touch with our couples and this was such a fun shoot. We were blessed to photograph Jesse Rose and Lance’s wedding a few years ago. It was great meeting Lincoln and getting some shots of this cute little guy. Here are a few images from the shoot…

What a great day for a wedding! We really enjoyed getting to know Bryan and Diana and their families. Communication was fun with Diana’s parents…lots of smiles and thumbs up. I know they loved having them here from Russia. It was so neat to see the two cultures come together for a fantastic day. The reception at the Providence Country Club was an elegant event.

Last weekend, we had the pleasure of covering Ally and Adam’s wedding at Middleton Place in Charleston, SC. Sunday morning, we walked the estate and happened upon Doug showing traditional craftsmen building techniques. Doug immediately began describing his craft and the different tools needed to produce wooden vessels, barrels, etc., but one thing struck me. In spite of the insane heat and humidity and the dusty old shed, Doug loves what he does! So much so, he has been at Middleton Place for over 16 years.

With the rush of everyday life, it is easy to fall into a pattern of the mundane. To work without enjoyment, to live without life… This encounter was yet another reminder to pursue what you enjoy and it will never be work. I do love my job!

Last weekend, we shot the gorgeous wedding of Ally and Adam at Middleton Place. We really enjoyed the event, getting to know the family, and especially our time with Ally and Adam. Meghan and the crew from Duvall Catering & Event Design did a beautiful job decorating and serving the event. It was just perfect!

Thank you guys for such a great weekend…
