Melissa & Jason {Haig Point Lighthouse Wedding}

2010-11-29T11:08:00.000-07:00

Melissa and Jason got married on November 5th on one of the most beautiful islands in our area… the ceremony was held under the amazing old oak trees at Haig Point’s Lighthouse on Daufuskie Island.

Melissa’s dress and veil were gorgeous and Jason gave her a wrap to keep off the chill of the day that she adored. Her bouquet was beautiful thanks to Jason’s dad George, who is a florist in Connecticut.

The reception followed in a beautiful tent where Melissa & Jason’s family and friends danced into the night with the amazing DJ, Jamie Bodie owner of JLKevents. Kristen Ploehn did a wonderful job with coordination, catering, and design for the whole day.

Congratulations Melissa and Jason…we truly enjoyed sharing in your wedding day and wish you many years of happiness!

Ashley & Jonathan {Statesboro Wedding Photographer}

2010-06-08T09:19:00.002-06:00

Weddings are a reflection of the people that are getting married and every little detail, including Ashley’s dress, complimented the location and this couples personality perfectly.

Ashley & Jonathan held both their ceremony and reception at Forest Heights Country Club in Statesboro Georgia… where we found rolling hills and a beautiful sunset. There was a threat of rain but Mother Nature provided a light breeze and big clouds without a drop of rain...

Misty at 67 Styles was the amazing stylest

This will forever be one of my most loved images that I've taken... I love this intimate moment between Ashley and her Mom

Jonathan & Ashley have been in love since they were in primary school...

I did tell you it was a breezy day right?

Ashley & Jonathan's colors were light pink, gold & ivory! What a beautiful combination and their cake designer was Annelle Dickey...

The couples family & friends waived beautiful ribbons as they departed...

As an artist I love this part of the day... when we can step away and creat beautiful images without everyone around. I think the couples love it too because they get a few minutes alone :)

Thank you Ashley & Jonathan for an amazing day!

This is a list of their fab vendors...

But he is crazy about football...

Matt is telling Julia... "Okay, hit me right here as hard as you can"

And oh did she hit him :)

And she took his ball away! Go Julia!

Thanks for all of the laughs... See you soon!

Katie & Andrew {Savannah Wedding Photographer}

2010-04-16T10:35:00.002-06:00

What a magical wedding day Katie & Andrew had. The event took place at the stunning Mansion on Forsyth Park in Historic Downtown Savannah. Misty, Chelsea and I have photographed weddings there several times and they’re always wonderful affairs. Everything down to the smallest detail was amazing. Katie & Andrew are sweet kind people and we loved being able to enjoy the day with them and their family and friends.

I love when a dad see's his daughter for the very first time in her wedding dress... I've learned to shoot & cry at the same time...

Misty took this sweet image of Andrew's grandparents...

Both the ceremony and reception was full of laughter and intimate moments.

Andrew surprised Katie with another band for her wedding ring…

Give a little girl a dress and she will twirl…

This one is for Katie's Mom...

Thank you Katie and Andrew for a beautiful day.

It was such a joy to shoot their wedding. Thank you both for the opportunity to get to know you and both of your families!

Jennifer's hair was done by the ever amazing Kristin at Vanessa's Hair Boutique & her make-up artist was Randi Arroyo and you can find her at Make-up by Randi

South Carolina Wedding Photographer {Jamie & Joe}

2010-03-12T07:22:00.004-07:00

I spent last Saturday with the AMAZING wedding photographer, Nichole Barrali. I’ve known Nichole for about six years but it wasn’t until she photographed a friends wedding that I really took notice of her work. A few years later I approached her about becoming her second shooter. When I asked she said with a smile, “sure I have a wedding this weekend do you want to come”?

That was the beginning of a life altering change for me. You see, photographers normally don’t share their secrets’… but over the past three years Nichole has opened her business, her home and her heart to me. With her help I have built a business that I’m very proud of. She has helped me avoid many of the struggles that new business owns experience & she has helped me grow as a photographer.

If you’re a photographer I encourage you to become a mentor to someone that needs your help. We all benefit from one another.

Okay on to the beautiful wedding of Jamie & Joe at the Sheldon Chapel in Yemassee South Carolina.

Jamie & Joe have a deep passion for Civil War history so it was fitting that the Sheldon Chapel also know as the “chapel of ease” played a roll in our nations history books. The original building was built in 1832 so that worshipers would not have to travel in the hot South Carolina summers to the formal parish church at Sheldon, now know as Old Sheldon Church Ruins. During the Civil War, members of the Confederation Army converted the chapel into a hospital for smallpox patients. General Sherman’s troops destroyed the original building in 1865. It was rebuilt to its present modest form in 1898.

The couple’s reception site at Richfield Plantation was built in 1875 by John White Gregorie and has been beautifully restored by his great-great-grandsons. The plantation is situated within the little community of McPhersonville, just outside of Yemassee. The grounds are surrounded by majestic oaks and are a masterpiece and silent spokesman of history brought into modern day.

The three uniform buttons on Jamie’s bouquet are treasures that Joe has found during Civil War Reenactments’.

Best Wishes!

Danielle is a second year student at the University of Georgia and after spending just a few minutes with her Misty and I knew we were going to have fun. Nothing is better than when a client puts their trust in us and I love when a girl will play and pose for my camera… it shows me that they trust what I’m doing.

Enjoy, Danielle!
