Savannah in Spring | Part 1

Savannah in Spring | Part 1

I don't think I've seen a more beautiful sight than Savannah in the full bloom of Spring. While traveling for a wedding in late March, we enjoyed a few days in Savannah in between work. It was refreshing and inspiring. I haven't posted much personal work here in quite a while but so I figured I'd end the hiatus! I do love shooting just for myself, creating art just for me. Going out on little adventures, exploring new places and seeing the world through my lens is good for my soul. It's refreshing creativity I can feel down to my bones.

Rosemary Beach Retreat

Rosemary Beach Retreat

This year, my good friend Ashley and I decided that instead of presents we'd make a point to spend time together somewhere. Living in different cities can be difficult when it comes to friendship if you don't make a point to connect. Ash and I have been through so much together that we always pick up right where we left off. Sometimes we talk everyday, sometimes we don't talk for a week or two. She's a gem of a friend.

Taylor & Chase | Simplistic & Intimate Santa Rosa Beach Wedding

Taylor & Chase | Simplistic & Intimate Santa Rosa Beach Wedding

It's hard for me to even begin to describe Taylor & Chase's wedding day. Usually it is fairly easy for me to pull favorite image from a day, but this one is so close to my heart that it has taken me months to even choose. Taylor & Chase put so much purpose behind planning their wedding. After becoming engaged, Taylor and Chase knew they both wanted an intimate celebration with their closet friends and family. Santa Rosa Beach was a natural choice, since both their families love to vacation there. Taylor loves meaningful details and infused that love into so many aspects of their day. Taylor’s Mom and family created the stunning family style table set up on the lawn adjacent to the beach. They filled the tables with Taylor’s favorite muted colored oysters (a nod to the seaside theme), a plethora of candles and handmade arrangements. Guest signed two boat oars that they will keep in their home. Even the officiant was Taylor and Chase’s good friend and Taylor’s old soccer coach.

Mallory & Kevin | Classic & Chic Charleston Wedding

Mallory & Kevin | Classic & Chic Charleston Wedding

Mallory & Kevin wed on a beautiful New Year's Eve in one of the most romantic of destinations, Charleston South Carolina. Everything about their details suited them to a T. Their engagement was photographed at the elegant Swan House Mansion in Atlanta, so it made perfect sense for them to have an equally stunning location for their nuptials. They couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day in the South. It was relatively warm for Winter and perfectly sunny. After enjoying time with their friends and bridal party, they had an intimate first look in Charleston's iconic Battery Park. They chose a palate of grays and neutrals with soft pink to compliment the classic black-tie affair. Lauren from A Fox Event designed luscious peony bouquets that looked stunning with the bridesmaids peplum-waited gowns. Of course Mallory looked effortlessly classic in her lace wedding gown and fur capelet. Of course, what better backdrop than Charleston's quaint corners and cobblestone streets? After beautiful afternoon trapping along the historic roads, they said their vows in an old, stately church downtown and celebrated until the New Year in a gorgeous ballroom. Leaving in an old 1957 Bentley was the perfect ending to their grand celebration.

Charleston Getaway

A little over a month ago our little family took a trip to my beloved city, Charleston. I love when Jonathan and Eleanora get to tag along with me on work trips. Little E did so well while we were out and about. Unless she was hungry, she was an angel! (Besides the tail end of the car rides and sleeping in her travel crib!) Of course I was shooting a good bit of the time, but we were able to explore a bit as well. It was quite rainy and overcast but that is to be expected for the Winter! It is still one of my favorite places I've ever visited. The charm is simply unparalleled. Every street holds something beautiful to find. One of my favorite things this trip was one of the walking tours that went over Charleston's history. It's fascinating. Oh, and I can't forget the food! If you have the chance to visit, be sure to go to Poogan's Porch for delicious southern cooking, Magnolias for fine dining, Kaminsky's for coffee and dessert and Brasserie Gigi for succulent French cuisine. There are so many other places we tried, but those have been my favorites. I will be sharing more from the stunning New Year's Eve wedding I shot while in Charleston, but for now, here are some of my favorite nooks from our explorations.
