I feel like I gained new friends through this session with Savannah and Bradford. I not only got to know them more through their engagement

William and Eliza were so fun to work with. When looking for a photographer Eliza knew she wanted to find someone whom William would be comf

Back in February, I had a giveaway for a full wedding package to one SC Bride and Groom! The winners of this giveaway were Emily and Austin, and I had so much fun getting their AHL experience started with some engagement shots! The Magnolias were in full bloom as we headed out to a Columbia city park and the Statehouse. At the beginning, it started to drizzle, but Emily and Austin took it like champs and soon the rain cleared leaving a stunning sunset. I was able to get beaut

Charleston charm was found right here in Columbia for Nea and Matt’s engagement session! Nea spent a lot of time choosing a location. She wanted to capture some of the essence of Charleston but close to home. She fell in love with the architecture of the Gervais Street bridge on the Riverwalk and the large oak trees, gardens and gates in the horseshoe at USC (even though Matt made sure to reassure me where his alliances lie, Clemson all the way). I, of course, was thrilled to

I met Perri actually through another couple I was shooting. Perri was the wedding planner for the couple and had joined the bride at the bridal session to help out. The bride told me Perri just got engaged too in ITALY!! On top of an amazing trip she came home with the most gorgeous rock on her hand. Perri originally thought she and Peter were going to be planning their wedding at their house in Clemson in February 2019 but plans changed they are getting married in July at th

Leading up to Leigh and Jay’s engagement session I was so excited for a couple reasons 1. We were going to take photos at one of my favorite places in the World, Wofford College. 2. I knew how well-dressed Leigh and Jay were going to be because Leigh has such a classy and adorable fashion sense and 3. Leigh and Jay are absolutely precious together! But when the weather was calling for snow 2 days before that engagement session I thought for sure Leigh was going to want to res

Ashleigh and Luke are from Brevard, NC and I was so excited to travel up there for their engagement session. Ashleigh and her mom scouted out different locations and chose the Brevard Music Center. It was the perfect location for a fall engagement session. From a small lake, to stone bridges, ducks, and brightly colored leaves it made the most amazing backdrop for all their photos. When Ashleigh got out of the car and told me her and Luke were Disney and Star Wars fans, I kne

I am finally sharing a blog of the infamous Waffle House engagement session! Many have asked "Why Waffle House?" And here’s the story: Cato and Sarah have known each other since high school, but only had to date a short while before knowing they loved each other and wanted to get married! I still remember Cato sitting in Taylor and I’s house talking about if he saw Sarah at church he was going to get the nerve up to ask her on a date. Cato also knows how much of a social medi

Cato is my husband’s best friends, and about a week before he proposed he called me and asked me what I was doing next Sunday. I told him that I had something that evening but nothing the rest of the day. All of his response was “we can make that work.” I kept asking “why? Make what work? What is going on?” and in true Cato fashion I had to beg before he told me. He was going to propose to Sarah and wanted me to be there to take pictures of it! And, turns out my husband knew
