Sandals Royal Bahamian Nassau, Bahamas Travel Guide
This year for our anniversary, we wanted to stay nearby but go on an all-inclusive tropical vacation. We chose Sandals in Nassau, Bahamas. We have had great experiences with other Sandals Resorts in the past, but to be fully honest, this is not the best Sandals Resort out there. We still had a great time and enjoyed the gorgeous Bahama blue water!
Summer Wedding at 1208 Washington Columbia, SC
What a day! I’ll never forget the unique color pops in this wedding and the GORGEOUS Anne Barge custom gown the bride wore. Shaylyn and Cole were one of the most fun couples and their day truly reflected their warm and fun personalities. From the first dances to the exit, this day was WONDERFUL.
Girly Solar System Third Birthday Party
Journey to the MAYLEY Way Galaxy! Our baby girl turned 3 in July and I don’t want to talk about it! Haha! Too soon! She is very into the planets and outer space so we knew this year’s theme would be SOLAR SYSTEM! It was so fun to put together! We kept it pretty simple and had a few little fun things to pull it together, like the space themed sensory bins (the kids LOVED) and the bouncy house!
Airy, Beach Inspired Nursery and A New Miracle Baby Boy
The Thomas family–clients turned friends, without a doubt. I’ve gotten to photograph them since their first baby was a baby! We’ve had multiple maternity sessions, newborn sessions, sessions just because. I’ve traveled long distances to them and for this particular session, followed them all the way back to where they’re from in Memphis, Tennessee. They mean so much to me and I adore all four of the kids!
Rooftop Wedding at Juniper and AC Hotel Greenville, SC
Hannah and Chas are made of magic! So much so that there was a rainbow on their day–you bet we ran to get the photo above! They really made their Downtown Greenville wedding come alive. We even had portraits at the Rock Quarry at Falls Park. This was definitely a quintessential Greenville wedding.
An Oceanfront Wedding At The Sanctuary At Kiawah Island Golf Resort
The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island Golf Resort is by far one of my favorite coastal venues! Every spot is photo worthy.
Intimate Wedding at The Cliffs At Glassy Chapel and Hotel Domestique in Greenville, SC
One of the most gorgeous venue combinations in Greenville, SC has to be having a ceremony at The Cliffs at Glassy Chapel and the reception at Hotel Domestique. You get so many beautiful backdrop options for photos and it’s definitely a photographer’s dream.
Wedding at Boone Hall Plantation and Gardens in Charleston, South Carolina
NO WORDS to describe this day and this couple, but I will surely try! I’ve gotten to know and love Max and Cara and consider them friends. The love they have for each other is unmatched and it literally shows in every photo they take. Boone Hall being their wedding backdrop was just the cherry on top!
Cancun Mexico Destination Wedding at Secrets Maroma
Destination weddings should always be a thing! WOW! It’s hard to describe how great destination weddings are unless you’ve been apart of one. You’re in paradise, surrounded by your closest friends, marrying the love of your life–SO AMAZING!
