We photographed local Charleston entrepreneurs Mike Ray of Normandy Farm Artisan Bakery, David Merritt and Jaime Tenney of Coast Brewery, Nicole Rager of Nicole’s Nutty Goodness, and Hank Weed of Caribrew Cold Press Coffee for an article in the Charleston Scene by Matthew Godbey. Owning your own business is hard work, and it was extremely rewarding to photograph such talented and dedicated individuals. They have all made their dreams their own reality, which takes a lot of courage and possibly a little bit of crazy;). It is really a pleasure living in Charleston where so many small businesses live and thrive. Here’s to local business and local talent!

We photographed the Rees’ family while they were on their vacation at the beach in Charleston SC. They were such a fun group, and we have decided to commission them to record an album for all our upcoming family photo sessions;). It was a gorgeous morning, and the colors of their clothing worked splendidly with the environment!

This was a very meaningful wedding for me to photograph, because I have known Anna since high school. We went to college together too, where she taught me how to pluck my eyebrows—thank you Anna! Anna has always been such a wonderful woman with a kind soul. She is gorgeous, and it was such an honor to be able to photograph her wedding day. One of the reasons I love my job is because I get to record history as its happening, and it makes it all the more special when it is someone I have shared my own history with. Wes is one lucky man, along with his sons Hunter and Avery who now have a new step-mom:). I won’t embarrass both of us by bringing out some of the photographs from our high school “dance” parties (which mainly involved eating cake and a bit of treadmill action;), but there is still a collage of photos on a cork board in my closet back home decorated with our memories. I guess I’ll have to add some of these to my collection now. I love you Anna, and I wish you and Wes much laughter and joy in your adventure together!
Special thanks to all the vendors that made the day so beautiful!

Kate and Chris had an intimate wedding with just a few close friends and family on Kiawah Island Resort. The guys started off the wedding day festivities on the golf course at Oak Point, and the ladies headed over to the Sanctuary salon and spa. The ceremony was at Mingo Point Bay, and it was stunning! The weather couldn’t have been more pleasant, and the light was gorgeous. The River City Dixieland Jazz Band carried everyone through the evening festivities, and even joined in on the dance floor. The Lowcountry meal was simply delicious, and introduced a few northerners to some of the great southern delicacies. After Mingo Point, the party moved over to the Turtle Point Clubhouse. The dancing was fierce, and the porch created a relaxing setting for smoking cigars. Honestly, if we had to get married again I think we would follow Kate and Chris’ plan to a tee. It was a perfect wedding for a perfect couple. Best wishes to Kate and Chris, and we hope you have many years of laughter! Oh, and we miss Walter, so give him a hug for us;)

Annette and Wes got engaged back in December, and are planning a wedding out in California where Annette grew up. They both work for the U.S. Coast Guard and wanted to have their engagement session at the beach. We decided to head out to Folly Beach for engagement photos. They love the ocean, so it worked out great;). We are excited for them, and grateful for the work they do for our country. Happy Fourth of July, and best wishes!
